Union – Review

April 1, 1998

Ex-Mötley Crüe vocalist John Corabi and ex-Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick combine ’cause no real band would have ’em, and this way, no one could kick ’em out.

Snap-Her – Queen Bitch of Rock ‘n’ Roll – Review

April 1, 1998

Snotty punk rawk in all its grimy, sloppy beauty! Mixing acidic humor with a snarling guitar/vocal team-up, Andi Beltramo lives up to the album’s title.

Sacred Reich – Still Ignorant (1987-1997) Live – Review

April 1, 1998

I have the Surf Nicaragua EP on CD, cassette, and picture disc. That and Ignorant are plenty for me, thanks. Tech metal is dead.

Riot – Inishmore -Review

April 1, 1998

The ’80s are over and so are layered harmonies, classical guitar wanking, vocal warbling, and Whitesnake-sounding, lyrically-inane, hard rock posturing.

Richie Sambora – Undiscovered Soul – Review

April 1, 1998

JBJ rewrote the same few great songs so many times, I’d’ve thought Richie would’ve learned how to do it by now. Or at least be able to fake it.

Niden Div. 187 – Impergium – Review

April 1, 1998

The blackest of the black. The screaming is so nihilistic that, even though you can’t decipher a word, you know the fucker is pissed and evil.

Mike Tramp – Capricorn – Review

April 1, 1998

Mike still has a signature style, no matter how hard he tries to bury it beneath classic rock trappings. This sounds like bad Black Crowes.

Moonspell – Sin/Pecado – Review

April 1, 1998

A deep baritone with an old-world romantic accent atop dreamy synths, heavily-echoed acoustics, or dramatic powerchords that has a tendency to strut its stuff.

Meshuggah – The True Human Design – Review

April 1, 1998

The next step in the evolution of heavy music, surpassing Pantera and Fear Factory on their own terms, then rewriting the rulebook on dethroning metal godz.

Hecate Enthroned – Upon Promeathean Shores – Review

April 1, 1998

Evil is eternal, screams of pain linger in the mind, and sweeping beauty and lurking death will never go out of style any more than they’ve ever been in style.
