Cradle of Filth – Midian – Review

April 1, 2001

A lot of thrash amidst the blastbeats and Tim-Burton’s-a-pussy intros, and Pinhead voiceovers, skin-tingling black mass chanting, and female vocals.

From the Midwest, this tight, fast, hardcore punk band (back when you could use the words together) struck a chord that reverberates to this day.

White Skull – Public Glory, Secret Agony – Review

April 1, 2001

While they write pretty third-rate rhythms, they can play pretty bad-ass and Frederica De Boni does have quite a pair of, um, lungs.

April 1, 2001

German Goth/industrial pioneers/sex show. Part less-metal Rammstein (just to start somewhere, ya know?), part “hey, look at the tits!”

Confrontational Camp – Objects in the Mirror are Closer Than They Appear – Review

April 1, 2001

Public Enemy’s Chuck D (aka Mistachuck) and Professor Griff open the lyrical flood gates, using both hip hop and metal guitars to get the message across.
