Envaatnags Eflos Solf Esgantaavne
One of the truly underground bands of the black metal elite, Finland's HORNA do much more than create grim feeling and cold atmosphere (though they do both exceedingly well). On "Envaatnags Eflos Solf Esgantaavne", the music is unequivocally black metal in the northernmost sense, but HORNA takes car...July 17, 2005

Hell Sweet Hell
By the time 2004's "The Great Collapse" had been released, Germany's FEAR MY THOUGHTS had become a quality Swedish-style thrash act. The album is a fine mix of thrashing aggression and capable melodies, one that also succeeds because the songwriting isn't too one-dimensional. On "Hell Sweet Hell", F...July 9, 2005

Robot Hive/Exodus
It's a testament to the organic strengths of CLUTCH that when they set up, start dicking around, and hit "record," the results still outstrip almost every overcalculated bunch of try-too-hard scenesters currently stinking up the record racks. The follow-up to last year's "Blast Tyrant" is definitely...July 2, 2005

Dreams of Death
The number of people willing to "Flots Til Death!" has dropped precipitously since the band's major-label heyday. The band turned out to be too metal for mainstream crossover success, despite a bit of airplay in 1992 with the heavily-hyped "Cuatro", while their move away from thrash roots alienated...July 2, 2005

Firewood
The story goes that Sweden's WITCHCRAFT first began as a tribute to former 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS legend Roky Erickson and PENTAGRAM's Bobby Liebling. The self-titled debut album caused quite a buzz and if it's anything like "Firewood", I can understand why. Prior to actually hearing "Firewood", I wou...July 2, 2005

Showdown
Well, I sure as hell regret not finding out about Denmark's' BARCODE sooner. "Showdown" is the band's fourth full-length album. They've also released a few splits and appeared on several compilations. Now that I've been punched in the mouth by "Showdown", I'm ready to check out the earlier material....July 2, 2005
