Diabolical – Synergy – Review July 12, 2002 Impressive debut from a Swedish technical death/thrash outfit that draws equally from early Pestilence, Believer, and Arch Enemy.
Dawn of Dreams – Darklight Awakening – Review May 31, 2002 Their bio states not once, but twice that Dawn of Dreams blend black and death metal together. Dawn of Dreams do manage to meld the two styles effortlessly.
Nephasth – Immortal Unholy Triumph – Review April 12, 2002 Is it me, or is this whole Brazilian speed movement totally fucking overhyped? Nephasth simply isn’t very bright (nor fast enough).
Enter My Silence – Remotecontrolled Scythe – Review March 1, 2002 These guys have talent, great production, and riffs aplenty, but they sound just like Dark Tranquility.
