Only The Strong – Review

June 1, 1999

Metalcore set to fast punk beats, you know it’s Victory at work again. Some good stuff here, particularly by No Innocent Victim, Vision, and Agnostic Front.

Incompatible #1 – Review

June 1, 1999

Now here’s something new… a CD ROM compilation and ‘zine. Not only is it a great idea, it proves to be a pretty interesting read.

Decampitated – Review

June 1, 1999

Funny combination: B-flick horror movie theme (which doesn’t take itself too seriously) with metallic hardcore (which takes itself way too seriously).

Turmoil – The Process of – Review

Pennsylvania’s Turmoil deliver crunching metalcore on The Process of…, stomping the listener’s face with pure aggression.

The Tank – There’s No “I” in Band – Review

Two words: Good time. Two more words: The Tank. Music so vibrant and full of vigor, it might leap off the CD and go skateboarding.

April 1, 1999

Compared to Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, and Madball, that’s not too far from the truth. Good or bad, Somewhere… does wear its influences on its sleeve.

Damnation A.D. – Kingdom of Lost Souls – Review

April 1, 1999

10 songs of chugging guitars and catchy off-times, injected with dark melodies that thrust the music into a realm worthy of the blackest sabbaths.

The same fertile soil that gave us all things sludgy, bluesy, and anvil-heavy such as Pantera, Crowbar, and Eyehategod, delivers yet another.

Cross My Heart – XMH – Review

April 1, 1999

Though only an EP, XMH is nice yet powerful with its singing/screaming vocals, mellow guitar passages, and poetic lyrics.

Bolt Thrower – Mercenary – Review

April 1, 1999

Bolt Thrower has perfected their own style of Medieval-ish melodic death metal, and they deserve to be heard because they do it better than anyone else.
