DEVILDRIVER „s/t”
This is a disc that caught me be surprise. I have been a huge Dez Fafara fan for years but just thought he was wasting his time with COAL CHAMBER all but the last CHAMBER disc DARK DAYS.
SLAYER „War at the Warfield – DVD”
This dvd has been a long time coming from this band. There is only one true way to experience the onslaught and aggression of SLAYER and that is to experience them in concert.
AGE OF RUIN „The Longest Winters Woes”
Let me just start this review by saying that this band fucking thumps. Age of ruin hails from the Washington, DC area of this great country.
ZENITH „Nadir”
This disc is a demo that was released in 2001 by the band in attempt to land a record deal. Over all the disc is not bad but this band has a long way to go.
WASTOID „Say Your Prayers”
Not knowing much of this band ether might be a blessing in it'self. This disc starts out with a cheese song called long live rock N roll and it sounds like it was recorded in a basement.
WATERSHED „The Unreflective Interest In Action – Demo”
This band took me back a little to a sound I have heard before. This is a four track demo produced by Watershed and Jon Bergqvist.
WHITE SKULL „Tales From The North”
This being a fairly new band to me i went thru the first listen to this disc with a very open mind for I had heard good things about them. Viking metal, I asked myself if it could be done and givin justice and the answer is yes.
WINTERFELL „Winter is Coming”
Winterfell are a band that hail from York Pennsylvania and are a four piece outfit. They where nice enough to send me a copy of there four song demo for review and I am glad they did.
VON KULL „I Am Not Human”
This disc is a 2 song demo from this band. they hail from Delawere.
SALEM „Collective Demise”
Salem are a new band to me but not new to the scene. They have been around in one form ore another since 1985.
SEASON OF FEAR „Horrid Realities”
Season Of Fear are a Four piece band from Baltimore MD that are hard to discribe. When I first put the disc in it was hard to tell what bands they had for influnces.
SEVENTH ONE „Sacrifice”
German power metal has really come to the forfront in the last five years with bands such as Grave Digger, Running Wild, and Primal Fear. The year is 2002 and we now have a very worthy addition to add to the fold in Seventh One.
SHADOWS OF STEELE „s/t”
This is another band that I am hearing for the first time but I am sad to say that it does not catch my attention like others have. I am not saying that this is a but disc by no means other then it needing just a little better production.
SHERINIAN, DEREK „Black Utopia”
This disc has not been on the scene very long but its getting talked about a lot. Not being a huge metal disc this CD still has a lot to offer in the way of sounds.
SPIRAL MADNESS „Death & Roll”
I am new to this band but if they continue to produce discs like this I will not be for long. I do not know much about this band other then the members and there stage names and they are Zephyr (vox & bass), Chmura (guitar), Viking ( guitar), and Dan (drums).
STORMWARRIOR „s/t”
Put another notch in the belt for German power metal. StormWarrior hails from Hamburg Germany.
