Nod’s Tacklebox O’ Fun – Review

June 1, 1999

If nothing else, ya gotta love Re-Constriction’s style. Though none of the bands here truly do justice to the songs they cover, it’s not for lack of effort.

Cyberpunk Fiction – Review

April 1, 1999

Get a whole bunch of industrial bands to cover the entire Pulp Fiction soundtrack with the appropriate dialogue bits translated into computer speak. Cool.

Hexedene – Choking On Lilies – Review

September 1, 1998

Taking an early ’90s techno sound and wrapping it up in industrial, pop/Goth shouldn’t work – but Hexedrene have this damn good album to prove that it can.

Collide – Distort – Review

April 1, 1998

Collide’s remixes do nothing to improve on the songs’ original recordings. At least can recognize the songs on this one.

Society Burning – Tactiq – Review

March 1, 1998

Society Burning isn’t a full band, but somehow all the keyboards and drum loops sound pretty much the same – monotonous and rather lame.

Killing Floor – Divide by Zero – Review

March 1, 1998

Killing Floor is a full band who seem to fall into an area of borderline metal with some electronics. Geez, except for a few loops, it reminds me of grunge.

TV Terror – Review

March 1, 1998

36 industrial bands covering TV theme songs! The best thing about these tracks is that they’re usually only as long as the original themes.

Diatribe – Review

June 1, 1997

If melodic yet angry, guitar-driven yet coldly, synthetically strong music is your bag, check out Diatribe.

Waiting For God – Quarter Inch Thick – Review

June 1, 1997

Waiting For God, a female-fronted outfit that uses keyboards more than guitars, tread the dark waters between the solid shores of metal and pop.

Clay People – Stone: Ten Stitches – Review

June 1, 1997

Growling like James Hetfield over Ministryish guitar heaviness is not the future, it’s the past. While outgrowing Goth is admirable, becoming powermetal isn’t.
