Himsa – Review

January 1, 2000

Himsa plays meticulous, self-described “-core” music that takes advantage of the spaces lightness sometimes offers. Not that Himsa plays light at any time.

Speak 714 – The Scum Also Rises – Review

September 1, 1999

They’re here to make sure you treat everybody with respect, and they’re doing it by playing some furious (yet tasty) melodic old-school.

Revelation Sampler Summer 1999 – Review

September 1, 1999

Definitely out to progress with each release, Revelation will no doubt continue their ten-year tradition of releasing the most diverse and excellent hardcore.

Farside – The Monroe Doctrine – Review

September 1, 1999

Gameface – Every Last Time – Review

June 1, 1999

I wish the rest of the album was as good as the first three songs. It’s a shame, because this could’ve been a great record.

The Judas Factor – Ballads In Blue China – Review

June 1, 1999

Kill Holiday – Somewhere Between the Wrong is Right – Review

June 1, 1999

While it’s a good thing that some hardcore/emo kids will start getting into stuff like this, it’s a much better idea for them to just pick up the real thing.

Damnation A.D. – Kingdom of Lost Souls – Review

April 1, 1999

10 songs of chugging guitars and catchy off-times, injected with dark melodies that thrust the music into a realm worthy of the blackest sabbaths.
