Beats The Hell Out of Me – Rolling Thunder Music – Review

September 1, 1995

Psychedelic, or smooth and groovy, or hard and choppy, or rocking and passionate. Hints of Pearl Jam and Prong, tastily produced by Ross Robinson

Fates Warning – Chasing Time – Review

September 1, 1995

A greatest hits compilation and three unreleased tracks, “At Fate’s Fingers,” “Circles,” and a remix of “We Only Say Goodbye.”

X-Cops – You Have The Right To Remain Silent – Review

June 1, 1995

If you didn’t know this was Gwar in police uniforms, you missed the joke. Parody-core that’s brutal, heavy, fast and addictive.

Decoryah – Wisdom Floats – Review

June 1, 1995

Tragedy and beauty lurk in this badly-mixed masterpiece. Gorgeous arrangements of whispered vocals/rich choirs of angels and anguished guitar.

Broken Hope – Repulsive Conception – Review

May 1, 1995

Brutal grindcore with few frills. Twisted lyrics, demon roars, mean guitars… the whole package. Their cover of Twisted Sister’s “Captain Howdy” is wild.

The Organization S.F. – Savor The Flavor – Review

April 1, 1995

They crush with guitar power, sing so passionately, break down in freaky jazz stylings, and write the catchiest of rock/metal songs without ever bordering on pop crap.

Killers – Menace to Society – Review

April 1, 1995

“Past Due” recalls his stint with Maiden, but much mimics the sound of Pantera, a throaty roar and electronic kickdrum thudding dully in your face.

Grip, Inc. – Power of Inner Strength – Review

March 1, 1995

While the main riff of “Hostage to Heaven” is very Slayer-oriented, it’s the perfect excuse for Dave Lombardo to unleash the speedcore beast that lies within.

Generation – Brutal Reality – Review

December 1, 1994

Brutal Reality is tortured mid-tempo to thrashy rage, littered with the sampled debris of a faithless, technology-driven world.

Clawfinger – Deaf Dumb Blind – Review

December 1, 1994

Zak raps like a barrel-chested Mike Patton, and the guitarists chug and stutter. Hip-hop/metal energy and blasts of Pantera power.
