Pitch Black – Review

January 3, 2003

As you can probably guess, AFI is a big influence here. But I’ll give the Devil his due: If you can get past the silliness, some of these songs aren’t bad.

Revelation 100 – A Fifteen Year Retrospective of Rare Recordings – Review

November 11, 2002

Face it: Revelation had a big hand in the development of late-’80s/early-’90s hardcore and post-hardcore. They deserve recognition.
