Amon Amarth – The Avenger – Review

April 1, 2000

Brutal, mournful, with lots of pride in their ethnic history, Amon Amarth is an original and enjoyable welcome to the genre.

AM/FM – Audiot – Review

April 1, 2000

Makes you want to get in your car on a breezy summer day, open the sunroof, and cruise along the coast.

American Steel – Rogue’s March – Review

April 1, 2000

There’s finally an American answer to Leatherface. All praise American Steel, the most blisteringly balls-out emotional punk band since Crimpshrine.

Aloha – The Great Communicators, the Interpreters, the Nonbelievers – Review

April 1, 2000

Multi-faced, jam-based experimental indie rock with about as much percussive weirdness as Mr. Bungle’s live set.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed – Converge – The Poacher Diaries – Review

April 1, 2000

I’ve never been a fan of either band, and I’m reminded why with The Poacher Diaries. Madness for madness sake, spazzing out like a little kid.

Cannibal Corpse – Bloodthirst – Interview

April 1, 2000

An interview with bassist Alex Webster

Zao – Outcast split – Review

April 1, 2000

This is a reissue of the split that marked the debut of both bands. Zao went on to morph into a deadly, moody machine, while Outcast didn’t survive.

XIII PFP – Redefine – Review

April 1, 2000

XIII PFP is weird hardcore with a ton of horns (huh?) that doesn’t sound like anything you’ve ever heard. They mix heavy parts and clean parts with ease.

Whippersnapper – The Long Walk – Review

April 1, 2000

I hope this is where the future of pop-punk is headed. If not, at least we have Whippersnapper to rejuvenate what’s left of our faith.

Voice of Reason – New Beginnings – Review

April 1, 2000

Voice Of Reason is not interested in getting past the Gorilla Biscuits/Fastbreak copycat schtick. Maybe that’s a good thing to them.
