Forbidden – Distortion – Review

May 1, 1995

With a decade of brutal, yet complex, metal beneath their belts, Forbidden returns to crush bone once again.

Fleshold – Pathetic – Review

March 1, 1995

Seemingly normal heavy wall-of-guitars metal with snarling vocals and “society sucks” lyrics, Fleshold morph from one style to the next.

Hatrix – collisioncoursewithnoplace – Review

March 1, 1995

Hatrix is metallic to the core. With crushing riffs and brutal rhythms from the Metallica school, Hatrix take heaviness and offbeat tempos to a new level.

Sickening Gore – Destructive Reality – Review

February 1, 1995

Destructive Reality is powerfully produced and comes across as a dark meeting of Cannibal Corpse and Slayer.

February 1, 1995

June 1, 1994

Ugly contains all the thrash trio’s classics from their EPs as well as newer stuff. Their mid-’80s thrash and burn is refreshing without being nostalgic.
