Cradle of Filth – Thornography – Review

February 16, 2007

The paces are less suicidal, Dani’s screech is a little labored, and foot-stomp and spooky stalkings don’t make women clutch small children to their breast.

Brazil – The Philosophy of Velocity – Review

February 16, 2007

Brazil is one of those rare bands the teenage girls comment they love on MySpace, and indie elitists also enjoy without needing to wash afterwards.

The Mooney Suzuki – The Maximum Black EP – Review

February 1, 2007

Not my fave fuzzy garage unit. Any NYC hipster oughtta dig into Bad Afro’s roster and realize what posers they are, but ya can’t teach those trendies anything.

Twelve Tribes – Midwest Pandemic – Review

January 12, 2007

There’s prog twiddle mixed in with single-note howl and “I like this riff, I’m going to groove on it for the rest of the song,” clean singing and more yowling.

Baby Boy H – The Imaginary Dream – Review

January 12, 2007

Each song is mammoth, building slowly and steady until the climax, and you realize you’ve been staring in silence at the speakers, mouth slightly ajar.

Pilot Speed – Into The West – Review

January 12, 2007

Pilot Speed’s singer has some of that Muse vocal power, even if the songs aren’t as rich and dense, They’re from New Zealand, now living in Canada.

Cassius – I am Jim Jones – Review

January 1, 2007

Debut from Richmond VA’s noisemakers. Not my specialty, so I’ll just rattle off some toured-withs: A Life Once Lost, The Acacia Strain, Misery Signals.

Rotting Christ – Theogonia – Review

January 1, 2007

10 albums deep, these Greek black metallers just keep slogging along. This one’s a bit faster. Never considered them top tier, but never fully dismissed them.

Pss Sht F*ck – Use Your Delusion – Review

January 1, 2007

Newly recorded versions of the highlights of this chaos punk band’s downward spiral. Loud, noisy, screamy, fast, dangerous.

Architect – All Is Not Lost – Review

January 1, 2007

These Architects build a mighty headache. A nice, brutal orgy of hardcore knuckledrag and pretentious splatter/noise art, mixed all brutal metal mean.
