Review: Anal Vomit – Demoniac Flagellations
Anal Vomit Demoniac Flagellations From Beyond Productions The name Anal Vomit makes one expect this band to be yet another ridiculous gore-grind band—not so! Instead, you get rabid, old school, thrash-inspired war metal! And it’s damned good. Only problem: The singer likes to play live and pose in band photos with no pants. That is
Review: Death Du Jour – Fragments of Perdition
Death Du Jour Fragments of Perdition Golden Lake Productions With a silly name like that, you would expect these guys to sound like Lawnmower Death or something, but instead, it’s Finnish death metal, the old-school way—fucking heavy and fast.

Review: Winter Solstice – The Fall of Rome
Winter Solstice The Fall of Rome Metal Blade Records Ooh, tricky—I thought by the title and statue on the cover, this would be gothic metal or power metal, but it’s just another piece-of-shit screamo metalcore band. Fuck this waste of plastic. And I wish these fags would stop trying to trick people into thinking their

While most BM bands annoy me with their vocalists constantly screeching into the microphone, Enthroned’s vocalist is actually the focal point of the band for many people. The band has learned that light-speed fast all the
Review: Usurper – Cryptobeast
Usurper Cryptobeast Earache Records Usurper started out as a band called The Dead Youth, a very unpromising grindcore band. Since then, they have reformed as essentially a faster, heavier version of Celtic Frost. Usurper have endured a few lineup changes since the release of their first few records, and it seems as though they have
Review: Codeseven – Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds
Codeseven Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds Equal Vision Apparently Codeseven were once a screamcore band whose high watermark was a cover of “Boys of Summer.” One day they got older, heard Radiohead and traded in their metal for something more mother-friendly. They of course lost nearly the entirety of their original fanbase. I can only imagine the wonderful
