Six Feet Under – Haunted – Review

October 1, 1995

With death metal’s largest bands contributing to this supergroup, it’s no surprise it’s amazing. It’s unique from any of the bands the members are famous for.

Channel Zero – Unsafe – Review

October 1, 1995

Hint of Pro-Pain, Korn, and countless others. When the voice goes over the edge and howls, “Sucking me dry for my energy,” you know you’ve got a hit.

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.
