Chemlab – East Side Militia – Review

November 1, 1996

This makes God Lives Underground sound tough. It’s so dull, it makes The Crow II Soundtrack sound interesting.

The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds – #6 – Review

November 1, 1996

Some reviewers are under-sexed, racist, homophobic chauvinists with a vocabulary of 100 assorted grunts, but then again, most metalheads are fucking stupid.

Subversive Agenda – #4 – Review

November 1, 1996

Versatile, knowledgeable, and comfortable praising what needs to be praised, and slamming what needs to be slammed. Subversive Agenda doesn’t dick around.

Ant – #6 – Review

November 1, 1996

I like this ‘zine, I really do. I’m glad someone knowledgeably reviews bands like Warrant, Enuff Z’Nuff, Skid Row, and some local rock, so I DON’T HAVE TO!

Baby Gopal – Fearless – Review

November 1, 1996

Irresistible charm, poignant lyrics, and enough twisty song writing so that only occasionally does the high-sugar mixture glob into sap.

Strung Out – Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues – Review

October 1, 1996

Strung Out have the goods to be superstars. Until then, they’re a top-notch pure speed punk band.

Masquerade – Surface of Pain – Review

October 1, 1996

Now this powermetal stuff comes back in hordes, and the choruses are sounding more like Warrant every day. Can fat girls in spandex be far behind?

Samael – Passage – Review

October 1, 1996

Produced by one of the best, Waldemar Sorychta, Passage alternately chops like a deranged axeman, and flows smoothly and steadily like a glacier melting.

Red Aunts – Saltbox – Review

October 1, 1996

Even after every ‘zine with any taste gushed over #1 Chicken, the banshee bitches didn’t let it go to their heads and, like, learn how to play or anything.

Nerf Herder – Review

October 1, 1996

Clean-cut guys in touch with their Rush-listening, feathered-hair days, and apologetic about not having been in hardcore bands since they could draw an X.
