Piecemeal – Die My Will – Split – Review

January 1, 2000

These guys must’ve realized, “Hey, if we’re gonna keep beating the dead horse that is metalcore, why not at least fuck it up beyond recognition?”

Die My Will – Piecemeal – Split – Review

January 1, 2000

Die My Will isn’t far behind with their Coalesce/semi-Cannibal Corpse grind. They’ve even got distorted bass on some of the tracks! Now that’s quality grind.

Tree – Our Day Will Come – Review

June 1, 1999

Tree – Radio Bootleg – Review

June 1, 1999

November 1, 1997

October 1, 1996

A great collection of hardcore bands mostly from Boston, some obscure, some defunct, this release could serve as a primer for anyone interested in the scene.

April 1, 1996

Slughog’s Grit! thunders and rumbles along like some unholy juggernaut, like a shoggoth with a vengeance, like a 747 landing without wheels.
