Abscess – Urine Junkies – Review

November 1, 1995

Picture the results if Cannibal Corpse and Brutal Truth got drunk and tried to play punk death. I’m sure somebody will like this, possibly.

Coalesce – 002 – Review

October 1, 1995

This is one of the most aggressive and ferocious bands I’ve heard in a while. I can see why a death label would be interested in them.

Raid – Hands Off The Animals – Review

October 1, 1995

Lyrically, Raid’s political and social views make Earth Crisis look like girl scouts. But musically, their sound is awful and hard to listen to.

Crowbar – Time Heals Nothing – Review

September 1, 1995

Their songwriting has improved. They are not just playing that slow slug stuff, but using more energy and groove, making this album a helluva lot more brutal.

Death… Is Just The Beginning – Review

September 1, 1995

Two discs. 38 tracks. All death. Whoooaaahhh!! was the sound I made after willfully subjecting myself to this vicious monstrosity. A must have.

State of the Nation – Review

September 1, 1995

Picture a really angry Matthew Sweet. This CD is chock full of power pop excrement. Really lame, not very political, with annoying vocals.

Morpheus Sister – Review

September 1, 1995

A dose of heavier than usual techno-industrial programming with dark lyrics. A lighter version of Big Catholic Guilt that leans towards Front Line Assembly.

Mindrot – Forlorn – Review

September 1, 1995

Goth influenced-grind/death metallers who probably think they’re being progressive with “atmosphere” and time changes in their long songs.

Integrity – Systems Overload – Review

September 1, 1995

It’s fast and aggressive hardcore that will pump you up to empty the dishwasher. Socially conscious lyrics with no sugar coating.

Mourning Sign – Alienor – Review

June 1, 1995

heir songs tend to flow from somber, funereal dirges, to hyperfast blasts of rage. Progressive death metal without long and boring songs. Sad yet powerful.
