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.”

Type O Negative – World Coming Down – Review

January 1, 2000

If you peel away the layers of sexuality, debauchery, love, loss, and carnage of both Carnivore and Type O, you’ll see an under-current of classic rock.

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.

Slipknot – Review

September 1, 1999

Hailing from Iowa the self-titled debut album from these masked freaks is not only the heaviest record this year, but one of the scariest as well.

Machine Head – The Burning Red – Review

September 1, 1999

Since the brilliant debut, Burn My Eyes, Machine Head only bores the listener to death with a repetition of riffs and beats that sound exactly alike.

Yoke Shire – Masque of the Shadows – Review

September 1, 1999

Some songs slither like classic Zappa, others tickle the heavens like Pink Floyd, and some chant and file through dark caves and forests like the Druids.

Spineshank – Strictly Diesel – Review

April 1, 1999

From their use of distortion and guitar tones, to experimention with electronics, Spineshank aren’t a band content to play monochromatic metal.

April 1, 1999

An interview with vocalist Aaron Perrino

Deicide – When Satan Lives – Review

April 1, 1999

17-songs, 56+ minutes of pure adrenaline. Captured live at Chicago’s House of Blues, Deicide unleashes flawless perfection, number after number.
