Soulfly – Primitive – Review

April 1, 2001

Rocks like the logical extension of Roots that the debut was, even as two of four members of the band from the debut have flown the (Gloria’s) coop.

Brujeria – Brujerizmo – Review

April 1, 2001

A punishingly addictive death metal album that reestablishes Brujeria’s mixture of Fear Factory rhythms, Terrorizer riffing, and Spanish Satanic ramblings.

Deicide – Insineratehymn – Review

September 1, 2000

More hook-ridden and less predictable than their last studio effort, Serpents of the Light, it’s also a lot more paced than anything Deicide’s done.

MTV’s Return of The Rock – Review

September 1, 2000

MTV is opening saying they’d turned their back on your passé music, but now they’re back to sell you what you already should’ve considered Heavy Music 101!

Nickelback – The State – Review

April 1, 2000

Look at ‘m as a less bombastic Creed. Real pro playing, mixing, production, the big vocal treatment with that aggravating post-Vedder “sensitive manliness.”

Coal Chamber – Chamber Music – Review

January 1, 2000

A repetitious, sleepy, confused, weakly-produced record that’s too electronica and hip-hop. Plus the grooves are gone, and there are fewer hooks. Disappointing.

Amen – Review

January 1, 2000

A punked-up force addressing many current metal flavors: A little bit of Korn Chamber, a cold-steel taste of Sevendustrial, and hard habits from hardcore.
