Soilwork – Stabbing The Drama – Review

June 13, 2005

Comparisons with In Flames are inevitable, but there’s a consistency here that makes Soilwork more cohesive: Soilwork’s vocalist isn’t weird.

Samael – Reign of Light – Review

June 13, 2005

This collective (Kovenant, Satyricon, Sentenced, Amorphis, Nile, Lake of Tears) play clubby, mechanistic, Rammstein, er, disco metal, but they’re evil about it.

An interview with vocalist Bjorn “Speed” Strid

Thunderstone – Tools Of Destruction – Review

June 8, 2005

Power metal from Finland. Slightly less embarrassing than some, but still goofy as hell. A little more manly than the frilly-shirted prancers, but not much.

Disbelief – 66Sick – Review

June 1, 2005

A few glorious moments here and there to spice up an otherwise completely listenable, completely interchangeable brutal metal band.

Sonata Arctica – Reckoning Night – Review

May 15, 2005

Mnemic – The Audio Injected Soul – Review

April 18, 2005

Progressive Swedish thrash (although they’re from Denmark), with industrial elements pushing it into the realm of artsy high-concept futuro-metal.

Demonoid – Riders of the Apocalypse – Review

April 11, 2005

Three Therion guys, plus acrobatic Soilwork drummer Rickard Evensand doing a sort of disciplined, sawed-off version of Swedish thrash or death metal revival.
