No One – Review

February 22, 2002

No One is from Chicago, combines rapcore groove and the stuttering riffs and roar/speaking styles, but they toss in a psychedelic acoustic desert stroll…

Nokturnal Mortum – Lunar Poetry – Review

February 22, 2002

Lunar Poetry is Nokturnal Mortum’s first album from, like, ’91 or so. This 10-song reissue seethes for almost an hour.

Nocturne – Welcome to Paradise – Review

February 22, 2002

Kinda sexy-sounding female writhing to amateur industrial sounds and boring beats with plodding, been-done-to-death guitar chugs.

The Upper Crust – Once More into the Breeches – Review

February 22, 2002

Do you like Bon Scott-era AC/DC and Monty Python spoofs? Then you’ll love the roque’n’roll antics of The Upper Crust.

Nifelheim – Servants of Darkness – Review

February 22, 2002

Metalion from Slayer Mag says “Sick music for sick people! HAIL HAIL HAIL! BANG YOUR HEAD FOR SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” That’s 20 !s, for those keeping score.

New Town Animals – Is Your Radio Active? – Review

February 22, 2002

Pretty straight-forward angular/chicken-strut punk with lots of high-end and Brit-sounding pronunciation.

My Ruin – A Prayer Under Pressure of Violent Anguish – Review

February 22, 2002

It hits a stride and then waves some interesting distractions, but mostly just does time on the nü metal treadmill. Tairrie B. was in Manhole and Tura Satana.

Agent 51 – Just Keep Runnin’ – Review

February 22, 2002

They’re snappy dressers, play melodic, cutsie-hard punk, and I keep getting Bouncing Souls flashbacks, but with more vocal accuracy.

Mushroomhead – XX – Review

February 22, 2002

Everything you love and hate about nü metal roar, industrial coldness, sample-driven electronic dance music, and Goth metal tenderness/shredding cranked to 11.

Against All Authority – Nothing New for Trash Like You – Review

February 22, 2002

18 out-of-print/hard-to-find songs from 1992-2000. You either love/admire these guys or ya hate preachy ska-punk in general, these guys in particular.
