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.

Mindrot – Dawning – Review

November 1, 1995

Mindrot trudges through the dreary swamps of ambient noise and eerie instrumentalization and roars battlecries while kicking some serious ass.

Dismember – Massive Killing Capacity – Review

November 1, 1995

Dismember play with precision, aggression, and razor sharp riffs. The producer of Wolverine Blues has produced Massive Killing Capacity, and boy does it show.

Sinister – Hate – Review

November 1, 1995

Ignoring anything resembling diversity within or between songs, Sinister just plain play mind-numbingly fast, trudgingly slow, and thoroughly demonic songs.

Abscess – Urine Junkies – Review

November 1, 1995

Picture the results if Cannibal Corpse and Brutal Truth got drunk and tried to play punk death. I’m sure somebody will like this, possibly.

Benediction – The Dreams You Dread – Review

September 1, 1995

Somewhere between growling powermetal and hideously deformed Sabbath-starring-Baphomet-on-vocals, Birmingham’s Benediction churn out 11 monstrous songs.

Mindrot – Forlorn – Review

September 1, 1995

Goth influenced-grind/death metallers who probably think they’re being progressive with “atmosphere” and time changes in their long songs.

Meshuggah – Destroy, Erase, Improve – Review

July 1, 1995

This 10-song opus lends itself to a Blade Runner-esque atmosphere that will leave cyber-metal heads virtually catatonic.
