Blood Duster – Yeest – Review

September 1, 1996

A gloriously disgusting disc filled with fist-fucking, puke, stinky pussy, and raping the young, the old, and assorted barnyard animals.

Amorphis – Elegy – Review

June 1, 1996

Its eleven songs venture into Middle Eastern parts and double harmony guitar/keyboard passages while developing a controlled, passionate sound.

Neurosis – Through Silver and Blood – Interview

May 1, 1996

An interview with guitarist/ vocalist Steve Von Till

Pan-Thy-Monium – Ill Khaooohs and Kon-Fus-ion – Review

May 1, 1996

Expect the unexpected, as blast beats overlap swinging sax while walls of noise merge into pan flute parts – all throwing your head for motion overload.

Mortician – House By The Cemetery – Review

April 1, 1996

Vomit in a toilet bowl and smash your knuckles into something really hard, really fast – it sounds the same, and it’s equally painful.

Hypocrisy – Abducted – Review

April 1, 1996

The death roots intact, but exploring Pink Floydian tangents. Surprising are the fist bang anthems, twisted beyond pop only by Peter Tastgren’s gnarled growl.

Japanese/American Noise Treaty – Review

December 1, 1995

This is NOISE. No fucking around – two full-length discs of music that makes Neubauten and Whitehose seem like Madonna. And that’s a compliment.

Malformed Earthborn – Defiance of the Ugly By the Merely Repulsive – Review

December 1, 1995

Based on their mutual appreciation of Skinny Puppy and Coil, Brutal Truth’s Danny Lilker and Scott Lewis teamed up with Napalm Death’s Shane Embury.

Exit 13 – Just a Few More Hits – Review

December 1, 1995

A self-reviewing CD. On “Constant Persistence of Annoyance,” my feelings are echoed beautifully in the opening soundbite. “I’m impatient with stupidity.”

UHF/VHF – Review

November 1, 1995

Disc one has 16 noise/ambient/experimental tracks, disc two has 21 of the most insanely heavy songs you’ll ever hear. Many are teasers to new records.
