Cemetary – Last Confessions – Review

September 1, 1997

Tight, melodic, and only occasionally falling into prog/powermetal silliness. I finally get an inkling of why people like this band, and then they break up.

Millencolin – For Monkeys – Review

September 1, 1997

I’d’ve liked to’ve heard a bit o’ the tight-as-a-monkey’s-fist piccolo snare (á la The Specials) in “Monkey Boogie,” but it’s still a butt-wagging ska ditty.

Los Terribles – Review

September 1, 1997

While this self-titled release is a coaster, perhaps with a lot of work on taking their songs the distance, they might be able to open for someone good.

Autumn Dawn – …Emptiness – Review

September 1, 1997

Nice throaty growling, some even-tempoed riffing, a few melodic transitions to break up the monotony, but with weak drum production and overall muddy sound.

L.A.P.D. – Review

September 1, 1997

Combining ’90’s self-titled EP and ’91’s, Who’s Laughing Now, this re-issue shows three members of Korn in their early, funky metal, solo-happy stages.

Alastis – The Other Side – Review

September 1, 1997

Slow, strong, and powerful, the majority is chunky and gruff, while interludes such as the intro/bridge in “Slaves of Rot” break up the monotony.
