Chaos! Comics – Interview

April 1, 1994

An interview with Steven Hughes

Pantera – Vulgar Video – Review

February 1, 1994

One of the most over-the-top rock videos ever. Even if I wasn’t a mega-colossal Pantera fan, I’d still be absolutely consumed by the home video tour footage.

Barkmarket – Gimmick – Review

February 1, 1994

With mournful wailing amongst the singing, off kilter guitar riffage, head splattering drumming, and schizo lyrics, Barkmarket create cool ‘n queasy tuneage.

Medicine – The Buried Life – Review

February 1, 1994

Tranquil, sugar-coated vocals skimming across ragged, squawking guitars to tinny dance beats.

Prong – Cleansing – Review

February 1, 1994

With all the subtly of a chainsaw, “Another Worldly Device” rips into your head as Prong prove once again that they are masters of modern thrash.

Thought Industry – Mods Carve The Pigs – Review

February 1, 1994

I’ve heard modernistic, off-beat and avante-guard stuff in my time, but Thought Industry take the razor-filled cake.

Hash – Review

December 1, 1993

Hash produce a rock ‘n’ roll stew with plenty of diverse ingredients. Their style is animate. Their message is not exactly deep, but positive, none the less.

Entombed – Wolverine Blues – Review

December 1, 1993

An album pulsating with spine-splintering songs and a guillotine-like sharpness in sound. These guys have infused a rock ‘n’ roll feel with their deathy sound.

Deadworld – The Machine – Review

December 1, 1993

Doom that plods along at a triceratops’ pace. Heavy synth beats slam down. On top is the metallic guitar and hyper-distorted vocals.

Chemlab – Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar – Review

December 1, 1993

Their music is caustic, throbbing, with warped melodies. A fusion of guitars, synths, electronic drums, bizarre sound effects and unsettling sound bytes.
