China Drum – Self Made Maniac – Review

September 1, 1998

Self Made Maniac can be listened to, absently hummed, or dissected by a music reviewer who’d rip the stuffing out of it if he could only find a loose thread.

World of Silence – Mindscapes – Review

September 1, 1998

These lads listen to Dream Theater and Marillion, and it shows.

Hepcats Took My Baby – Review

September 1, 1998

Like any pot-luck night of local-band cruising (Supporting Your Local Scene with title caps just bursting with your good intentions), some of the bands suck.

Borknargar – The Olden Domain – Review

September 1, 1998

Add to my list of favorite black metal supergroups with Arcturus and War. While stylistically galloping all over the map, this has a vibe like a concept album.

Ty Tabor – Moonflower Lane – Review

September 1, 1998

Read the title again. You get the gist. Ty used to be in King’s X.

Turkish Delight – Howcha Magowcha – Review

September 1, 1998

The predominantly instrumental “Gull Bite,” a song perfect for the scene in which Indiana Jones is drugged by wicked villains with a pick-pocketing monkey.

Auberon – The Tale of Black – Review

September 1, 1998

Hmm, I’m intrigued… I never thought to mix Kreator and prog rock. Quite an interesting, if odd, mixture.

Arckanum – Kampen – Review

September 1, 1998

Shamaatae is a troll. He screams a lot about Pan and the spirits in the woods. He doesn’t scream very well.

Ancients Rebirth – Damnated Hell’s Arrival – Review

September 1, 1998

Within minutes, you catch the Kreator inspiration (the cover of “Flag of Hate” is a good tip off), but even “Storming with Menace” was more silly than dumb.

Garbage Pail – In The Age of Cloning – Column

September 1, 1998

In The Age of Cloning: Mary Lou Reed
