Ektomorf – Outcast – Review

January 1, 2007

Some of the best Prong strut I’ve heard in years. 10 years in the racket, this Hungarian band led by brothers have the groove and grunt to go the distance.

Eb11 – She – Review

January 1, 2007

Not manly “active rock,” not sissy indie rock, not a neo-glam bunch in eyeliner, just a pretty honest, low-key teaser of solid, melodic rock.

Dominci – 03 A Trilogy Part 2 – Review

January 1, 2007

Former Dream Theater vocalist’s solo CD. Melodic prog metal, and classic heavy metal, like ya couldn’t’ve guessed that.

Die! Die! Die! – Review

January 1, 2007

From New Zealand, art punk, noisy yet danceable, a trio, fronted by a dude, even though it sounds like a girl freakin’ out. Recorded and mixed by Steve Albini.

Destruction – Thrash Anthems – Review

January 1, 2007

Re-recorded German classic thrash tide-over release (with one new track tacked at the end). Over 20 years at it, and they can still thrash it up.

Dawn of Man – In The Bronze Age – Review

January 1, 2007

Expecting a Revelation hardcore band, this dancey indie rock took getting used to. Just four songs, got a thing for new wave high hat and muddy guitar sounds.

Conquest of Steel – May Your Blade Never Dull – Review

January 1, 2007

Five song EP of warrior metal. Skimpy production, and genre clichés makes this a pocket knife, not a broadsword.

Coldworker – The Contaminated Void – Review

January 1, 2007

14 tracks of razor-sharp Swedish death. Debut release, but veteran member in Nasum’s Anders Jakobson.

Clouds – Legendary Demo – Review

January 1, 2007

Clouds is Cave In guitarist Adam McGrath and pals (in bands big and small, good and bad), and it’s noisy rock.

Classic Case – Losing At Life – Review

January 1, 2007

Odd mix of groove metal and delicate, sensitive guy vocals that 16 year old girls will like, but not ballsy enough to win over any U2, Coldplay, or Muse fans.
