Review: Unleashed – Sworn Allegiance
Unleashed Sworn Allegiance Century Media Sworn Allegiance is the 7th studio album from Unleashed in their 15 years as a band. I never got into these guys in the past because I always considered their output as sub-par. Surprisingly enough to me, I actually enjoyed Sworn Allegiance. This album isn’t great by any means, nor

YDI Will Fuck Your Spotlight Up and Make You BleedAre you ready? All right! Ready to die? Not without a fight! I am not your mindless sheep Follow no shepherd to the slaughter I can make blood flow like water I think murder day and night But you can’t put me away Not without a
And Now For Something Completely Autolux: A Highway Robbery
Some days you just shouldn’t answer the phone, particularly when it’s your editor calling. Yet like a fool I do, just in case she’s calling to sack me or to offer some multimillion-dollar book deal. [Autolux]”Have you heard of Autolux?” It seems like a simple question, but nothing is ever that simple. “We saw them
Wasted Life – November 2004
Wasted Life November 2004: S.M.D. “Started back in 1990, always drunk, always rowdy People say we play too loud, and we bring a fucked-up crowd You paid two bucks at the door, now you’re lying on the floor Broken nose and busted lips, that’s what you get in the pit You’ll never play here again,
Review: CdataKill – The Cursed Species
CDATAKILL THE CURSED SPECIES Ad Noiseam 5/5 There are some things you should know about CdataKill. First, Zak Roberts is geographically close to us – Denver to be exact (note to promoters and people who like to keep on music in the surrounding states). Second, He is label mates with Salt Lake artist, Lapsed (just
Review: Kattoo – Places
KATTOO PLACES Hymen 5/5 Originally Kattoo (Volker from Beefcake) was commissioned to do the soundtrack for a low-budget German porno that featured midgets and de-clawed cats. But when the deal fell through, rather than trashing his work, he decided to “beat it over the head with a techno and an industrial baseball bat”. I’m not
Review: Scrap.Edx – The Latitude Zero Project
SCRAP.EDX THE LATITUDE ZERO PROJECT DTA Records 5/5 No joke—the first time I put disc one of The Latitude Zero Project in my car stereo, I had to adjust the volume several times because I thought the vibrations and noises was my car begging me to put it out of its misery. “Multioutput pegged flanger
Review: This Morn’ Omina – The Drake Equation
THIS MORN’ OMINA THE DRAKE EQUATION [ECF] Ant Zen 5/5 This Morn’ Omina has elaborated on their now signature sounds. The Drake Equation (the actual equation, not the music) is an interesting concept (more information can be found hidden beneath the CD tray). It estimates the number of communicative civilizations in the Galaxy and it
Review: Fairlight Children – 808 Bit
FAIRLIGHT CHILDREN 808 BIT SPV 5/5 I honestly was not going to review this CD because, first of all, I’m still a little shy about admitting my newfound love for Apoptygma Berzerk and coming out of the closet recently with that whole thing. And second, because Fairlight Children really don’t fit in this genre (even
