Voivod – Lives – Review

April 1, 2001

Voivod created an art style and their own font while that Rob Zombie guy was still doodling in high school notebooks and trying to score with cheerleaders.

Cannibal Corpse – Live Cannibalism – Review

April 1, 2001

All the heaviness and scrutinized string-grinds on 18 songs, Live Cannibalism’s choice of songs, production, and performance are a ripping good time.

Lizzy Borden – Deal With the Devil – Review

April 1, 2001

“There Will Be Blood Tonight,” and the Manson-ish industrial plod of “We Only Come Out at Night” transcend the cheese. Well, they taste of a different cheese.

40 Grit – Heads – Interview

September 1, 2000

An interview with guitarist Chris Anderson

Fates Warning – Disconnected – Review

September 1, 2000

There is a doomful, slow and sobbing, droning insistence, Fates Warning asserting themselves as a prog presence well off on their own morose dance.

Eidolon – Nightmare World – Review

September 1, 2000

Eidolon’s third record is gathering some buzz due to Glen Drover’s increasing stature as guitarist for King Diamond. Drover is also a capable producer.

Brainstorm – Ambiguity – Review

September 1, 2000

German power metal with chugging guitars, powerful vocals, driving beats, the requisite ballad, and practically nothing to distinguish itself from the pack.

Sacred Steel – Bloodlust – Review

September 1, 2000

Titles include the word blood three times, steel twice, metal twice, and hammer, oath, wrath, war, warriors, gates, fate, lust, and thrones once each.

King Diamond – House of God – Review

September 1, 2000

No real surprises here. If yer into King’s kooky/campy freakshow of falsetto, here’s almost an hour’s worth of riffs and screeching to add to yer collection.

Vermin – Millennium Ride – Review

June 1, 2000

Riffs Entombed’d pass on cuz they’re too dull, monotone hardcore vocals sprinkled with death roar, and general bash’n’smash that is uninspired and predictable.
