Gravity X

For a place with nary a cactus or tumbleweed in sight, Sweden sure has spawned its share of slavishly devoted desert rock rats. TRUCKFIGHTERS add just about nothing to this well-tilled genre — long, 'luded jams, big fuzzed-out riffs, a monolithic guitar tone and big clattering drums, vocals that mig...

Mythological Occult Metal 1991-2001

Not a best-of, which North America in particular could really use, but rather a nicely-packaged odds-and-sods collection of rarities from this ever-mutating, currently on hiatus Texas underground horde. You'd have to be a big fan to begin with to shell out cash for a 99-minute excursion into underpr...

Minute Man For the Moment

Rating this one is tough. Do you call the band out for the miles of pretentious horseshit they dish out? Do you praise them for being freaked-out and weird enough to send more closed-minded metalheads running for the door with puckered buttholes? This record is a fucking mess, no doubt about it, but...

Promises In Blood

George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher will surprise longtime fans here — his work in CANNIBAL CORPSE sounds positively one-dimensional next to the clear enunciation and varied vocal patterns he brings to PATHS OF POSSESSION. Musically, you might be a little startled too. The band lays off the speedy Floridi...
