Nailbomb – Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide – Review February 1, 1996 Sepultura’s Max Cavalera and Fudge Tunnel’s Alex Newport formed Nailbomb as a side project. This is actually an improvement over their excellent studio album.
Brujeria – Raza Odiada – Review October 1, 1995 Massive choruses of rebellion, revelry and rioting, gunfire, frantic drumming, mile-thick guitars, and full lyric sheets that aren’t in English.
Battlegrounds – Review September 1, 1995 The new movement is Gabber. It’s harder, faster, and more vile and violent than the PC raves your mom and dad are now letting you go to.
Sepultura – Third World Chaos – Review July 1, 1995 The videos reflect the brutality and politicism of their songs. A compilation of sick videos, live tunes, and really odd tour footage.
Shelter – Mantra – Review July 1, 1995 From rap-to-melodic-core to all-out speedkills punk to whoa-whoa hardcore; Shelter does it beautifully.
Shank 456 – The Big Payback – Review June 1, 1995 Hardcore metal from a band that has stomp and speedcore in it’s past. Dead end jobs are prison. Let’s slam.
Thorn – Bitter Portion – Review May 1, 1995 Thorn has elements of punk, grind, and doom, all subtly compacted into a well-crafted, eerie, electronic/organic tribal mix.
