Clutch – at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1995

While Clutch may be one of my favorite bands, I was bored stiff as the band trudged through ’70’s-ish guitar rock meanderings.

Angus Soundtrack – Review

November 1, 1995

It’s as if someone asked me what my favorite punk/pop/dumb rock bands were, chose a song apiece, and slapped ’em on a compilation.

UHF/VHF – Review

November 1, 1995

Disc one has 16 noise/ambient/experimental tracks, disc two has 21 of the most insanely heavy songs you’ll ever hear. Many are teasers to new records.

Mindrot – Dawning – Review

November 1, 1995

Mindrot trudges through the dreary swamps of ambient noise and eerie instrumentalization and roars battlecries while kicking some serious ass.

Machines of Loving Grace – Gilt – Review

November 1, 1995

It’s a good, solid album of breathy sensuality mixed with anger and wit, but I miss the keyboards and devastating synths.

Lake of Tears – Headstones – Review

November 1, 1995

I was going to write this off as ignorable doom metal with too few innovations, but “Sweetwater” was actually good.

La Gritona – Arrasa Con Too – Review

November 1, 1995

La Gritona puts together a full-length of plodding drums, sludgy guitars screeching with feedback, mile-thick bass, and a howling lunatic on vocals.

Kreator – Cause for Conflict – Review

November 1, 1995

A terrifyingly powerful record, produced huger than anything in Kreator’s back catalog. The cover art isn’t like days of old, but it’s Kreator, so it’s great.

In Flames – Subterranean – Review

November 1, 1995

Crystal clear and tight instrumentals, raw and crisp Helloween-esque singing guitars. Vocals are like early Kreator, Whiplash, or more recently, At the Gates.

Humble Gods – Review

November 1, 1995

They’re wild, break the rules, and love publicity stunts. They play raw, unfiltered punk rock with enough manic energy, hate, and humor to make ’em rock.
