Primal Fear – Jaws of Death – Interview

January 1, 2000

An interview with vocalist Ralf Scheepers

Metal Church – Masterpeace – Review

January 1, 2000

David Wayne (singer on the first two releases) reeks of ex-Exodus’ Steve “Zetro” Souza circa ’86. But Zetro didn’t have Vanderhoof as guitarist and songwriter.

In Flames – Colony – Review

January 1, 2000

It’s post-death melodic thrash, yet it’s ROCK. Dramatic hair-swirls, lighter-waving acoustic interludes, and powerchords held long and dramatic.

Hypocrisy – Review

January 1, 2000

The band began in ’87, and while they’ve only kicked out a few records, each has been beautiful and brutal, and every side project has been top-notch.

Gardenian- Soulburner – Review

January 1, 2000

Second record out for Sweden’s Gardenian is a less death-like affair, adding all sorts of accessible melody, strident grooves and little Maiden runs.

Stormtroopers of Death – Bigger than the Devil – Review

September 1, 1999

The reasons this sucks are many. Most obviously: This style is now commonplace, unlike when Speak English or Die! came out and knocked us all on our asses.

Beauty in Darkness Vol. 3 – Review

September 1, 1999

Part black metal, part Goth rock/metal, all excitingly scary and sexy. For anyone into darkwave, Goth, or whatever else they’re calling it, ya gotta get this.

Dimmu Borgir – Spiritual Black Dimensions – Interview

September 1, 1999

An interview with guitarist Astennu

Children of Bodom – Hatebreeder – Interview

September 1, 1999

An interview with vocalist/guitarist Alexi Laiho

Civil Defiance – Circus Of Fear – Review

September 1, 1999

Think Mind Over Four, Thought Industry, Jane’s Addiction, or Candiria, metal without limits, adding a double shot of Brutally Truthful post-grind irony.
