Adema – Review

February 22, 2002

Breathy boy band rage and eerie, cold moments of New Wave, with the roar and groove of nü metal. Mark Chavez is the younger brother of Jonathan Davis of Korn.

An interview with singer Justin Sane

The Briefs – Hit After Hit – Review

February 22, 2002

It’s pretty impossible to do anything new with punk, it’s a matter of doing the same goddamn thing loud, pure, and energetically. That’s what The Briefs do.

Susperia – Predominance – Review

February 22, 2002

Susperia nail a modern sound while rewinding time to rediscover black metal’s thrashier roots.

Sugarcult – Start Static – Review

February 22, 2002

Using every punk-pop/power pop cliché so well, ya can’t help but smile. There’s nothing here you haven’t heard, but it’s all strung together energetically.

Stratovarious – Intermission – Review

February 22, 2002

Four new tracks, recent covers from well-received tributes, a couple live tracks, and seven tracks previously available only in Japan and/or France.

Static-X – Machine – Review

February 22, 2002

Static-X is a younger, harder, faster version of dumbed-down Ministry and Fear Factory with fashion sense that’ll hound them for the rest of their lives.

Very Introspective, Actually – A Tribute to Pet Shop Boys – Review

The Keepers of Jericho – A Tribute to Helloween – Review

February 22, 2002

This Spanish label’s tribute is more elfish prancing, sissy squeals, and limp-noddle wagging than anything resembling “power metal” or “melodic speed metal.”

Punk-O-Rama – Vol. 6 – Review

February 22, 2002

Epitaph keeps the bands they’ve got (minus one) and picks up wave after wave of the best young hopefuls, most of whom deserve it.
