Identity – 6 – Behold Another World – Review

June 1, 2000

18 tracks, maxing out at just over 70 minutes of metal, most sub-genres represented. Groove-oriented nü metal allows the indulgence of black/Goth/dark metal.

Firestarter – Review

November 1, 1998

Firestarter could be your foot in the door that, once opened, allows a beautiful darkness into your life.

Samael – Exodus – Review

November 1, 1998

A 29 minute grab-bag of new tracks. A no man’s land between death, black, Goth, and industrial with the smooth drinkability of classic metal.

Samael – Passage – Review

October 1, 1996

Produced by one of the best, Waldemar Sorychta, Passage alternately chops like a deranged axeman, and flows smoothly and steadily like a glacier melting.

Samael – Rebellion – Review

June 1, 1995

Two previously-released tunes, a tip-toe-through-my-nightmare instrumental, a new song of warrior rage, and a great cover of Alice Cooper’s “I Love the Dead.”

Samael – Ceremony of Opposites – Review

September 1, 1994

Superb production finely forges dirty guitars and efficacious drumming with symphonic keyboards and abrasive vocals.
