Extol – Undeceived – Review

September 1, 2000

Forget In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, or any other band that “carries the torch of At The Gates.” Extol is the closest and the most passionate you’ll find.

E.town Concrete – The Second Coming – Review

September 1, 2000

Ferocious, infectious, well-organized, and unpredictable enough to pull off the “tough street kids” shtick without sounding cliché. This is a great record.

Endless – With Everything Against Us – Review

September 1, 2000

Hatebreed without the small doses of technicality, Blood For Blood without the thug attitude, Gorilla Biscuits but angrier and more prone to “chug-chug-chug”s.

Drowningman – Rock and Roll Killing Machine – Review

September 1, 2000

My annoyance with bands claiming to be “rock’n’roll” increases… Look up Turbonegro, Devil Dogs, Teengenerate, The Spaceshits, and Gaza Strippers.

Dillinger Four – Versus God – Review

September 1, 2000

Educated but street-savy, punishingly hilarious yet insightful, a bombardment of deep thinking and social commentary drenched in cheap alcohol and ass jokes.

Deicide – Insineratehymn – Review

September 1, 2000

More hook-ridden and less predictable than their last studio effort, Serpents of the Light, it’s also a lot more paced than anything Deicide’s done.

Deftones – White Pony – Review

September 1, 2000

White Pony alone will have to fend off all the imposters and set the ever-raising bar for shitty nü metal bands to fall shy of.

The Chasm – Procession to the Infraworld – Review

September 1, 2000

Mexican death metal. Death and old Amorphis’ melodic lines, old Sepultura’s string picking, and old Pestilence’s crisp, “quick punctuation” riffing.

Cross My Heart – Temporary Contemporary – Review

September 1, 2000

Cross My Heart follows up their self-titled debut EP with a full-length comprised of sultriness and desperation.

Coleko – Staywell Clinic – Review

September 1, 2000

A noisy, Dischord-style yelling, atonal riffing unit that lacks in production but makes up for it with that gritty DIY feel the “kids” go nuts for.
