In Flames – Reroute to Remain – CD Review

I got my first glimpse of In Flames in 1996 while downloading metal mp3's from FTP sites (This was WAY before Napster). I saw the name In Flames and thought to myself, sounds metal, I'll get it. What I heard then blew me away. I'd really never heard guitar work like the way In Flames …

Gifted – Pure EP – CD Review

After a few lineup changes, Gifted is back with their latest offering, “Pure“. Emmet Fahringer (vocals) is the only member left in the Gifted that I knew. I know that some people fear change, but from what I have heard on the “Pure” EP, you have nothing to fear. Track Listing: Seven Sundays – 3:01 …

Blind Melons – 04/06/2002

Not having seen Agrokulcher play for a very long time (line up changes and writing new material) it was time to take the drive down to San Diego's Blind Melons for Zach's Annual Birthday Bash (Zach, vocalist of Ghoulspoon fame). I arrived a bit early, 7pm, and the bands were not supposed to go on …

Kittie – Oracle

I'm sure you've heard of the London, Ontario Canada band called Kittie right? You remember, the band that tore up the stage while on tour with Slipknot, massacred the audience during Ozzfest 2000? Well this group has gone through some small changes, dismissing a member, but is back with their new album, 'Oracle'. 'Oracle' hits …

Venus in Rage – 5 Song Demo (August 2001)

Once in a great while you see a band that that blows you away. Their style is completely different than the “norm”; they dance to the beat of their own drummer (literally in this case). Venus in Rage, to me, is one of these bands. Having seen this band live a number of times, I …

Full Frequency – Momentum

My old stomping grounds in Orange County, CA seems to be producing a breed of bands that don't suck! (hed) p.e., Sinder and Full Frequency to name just a few. Full Frequency's sound is a dash of techno mixed in with industrial flavoring. Released in 1997, Momentum has 10 tunes for you to listen to …

Die Section – Self Titled

So the good folks at BandBitch sent over a CD of one of their bands, Die Section, to the UnEarthed.Com secret underground compound and the disc was placed into the sound system. There the heavy, industrial sounds were pumped throughout the isolated hallways of the facility stirring the inhabitants into an audio feeding frenzy. As …
