Cranium – Speed Metal Sentence – Review

January 1, 2000

Cranium continues in the German tradition of finely-tuned speed metal, yet they incorporate a sense of humor, sometimes dark and grisly, other times just goofy.

Therion – Crowning of Atlantis – Review

January 1, 2000

It must be in Therion’s contract that they release thrown-together records with a couple new songs, a few covers, and few live cuts between glorious opuses.

Burzum – Hlioskja – Review

January 1, 2000

An instrumental record – keyboard and computers – based on the myths surrounding the death of the Norse God, Wuotan. It’s long, dull, occasionally spooky.

Bunjie Jambo – Potty Karate – Review

January 1, 2000

Wonder what the tuneless, strained yelping of Suicidal Tendencies would sound like over ska music? Me neither. Part fun rap, part tongue-in-cheek crudeness.

Bombshell Rocks – Street Art Gallery – Review

January 1, 2000

These Swedes rock hard, with a gruff-voiced singer and songwriting ability that makes you wanna joyously slam into yer buds, roughhouse a little, and celebrate.

Anti-Heros – Underneath the Underground – Review

January 1, 2000

Cred up the wazoo and been dubbed THE original American Oi! band, their records’ve been released by Taang! and GMM, which is preaching to the converted.

Angry Salad – Review

January 1, 2000

Building momentum with constant touring of this great nation and adds on Adult Rock radio stations, Angry Salad is a band that’s neither angry nor salady.

Cleveland Bound Death Sentence – Review

January 1, 2000

This EP compiles 7″s and comp tracks, and is ugly and pure enough to be called punk without any qualifiers. Fourteen songs in 18 minutes. You do the math.

The Mopes – Accident Waiting to Happen – Review

January 1, 2000

The all-star combo of some of the best pop punk bands of the ’90s. They were punks when it was uncool to be punks, and that’s what makes ’em so cool.

Allister – Dead Ends are Girlfriends – Review

January 1, 2000

Nice melodies, layered harmonies, fast riffing, rampaging drums – all the elements that make fun pop punk. These guys could be huge, they could disappear.
