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.

Deicide – Once Upon The Cross – Review

April 1, 1995

Hard to take and extremely brutal. Vicious utterings in songs like “Christ Denied,” “Kill The Christians,” and “When Satan Rules This World.”

Death – Symbolic – Review

April 1, 1995

They’re from Florida, play mind-numbing heavy tunes, grind like stompcore, rip through double-bass-thundering speedcore, and have progressive instrumentals.

Death – Symbolic – Review

March 1, 1995

Symbolic displays more changes in style and line up, including massive Gene Hoglan (ex-Dark Angel) now on drums.

The Cult – Review

March 1, 1995

Putting progressive, psychedelic, and hard rock influences in their stew, The Cult come out with balls and intelligence.

Holy Gang – !FreeTysonFree! – Review

March 1, 1995

Mind-bending industrial with fat guitar samples, belching and screaming, ample doses of white noise, drum machines, and interesting sounds.

Lazy – Some Assembly Required – Review

December 1, 1994

Fun, rather pointless girl-meets-boy stuff with bubbly female vocals. LoFi sound with garage-honest nonchalance. Cute, but dull as hell.

Machine Head – Burn My Eyes – Review

September 1, 1994

Machine Head writes lyrics that confront harsh topics in intelligent and constructively angry ways. They stomp at a steamroller’s pace and fly at hyperspeed.

Type O Negative – Bloody Kisses – Interview

August 1, 1994

An interview with Peter Steele
