This is a 6 song EP out on Noise/Futurist Records. Hellhammer was formed in 1983, and lasted until 1984, when two members of Hellhammer left the band and formed Celtic Frost, which is one of the most popular metal bands out there today. Hellhammer is speed/death metal and the recording on this tape is really shitty. The only thing different about Hellhammer from all the other Speed metal bands is…

I love independent film studios. They always provide a freshness to the genre in which they create films, and Red Scream Films LLC is no different. One of their new films is “Prison of the Psychotic Damnedâ€, and it follows the rich low-budget horror tradition that early Craven and Corman were instrumental in creating in years past. “Prison†deals with what happens to five individuals that stop by a train…
There are Dio-ish vocals on this album, and a typical level of hair band lyrical quality. This has many amazingly neat sounding guitar solos.This album has 9 tracks. The form of this is a dirgy style of Hair Rock that is electrifing. The guitars and vocals on this album are top notch , but the bass and drums are just average. The band sounds a little bit like Twisted Sister,…

The release date for The Gunshy’s newest release, There’s No Love In This War, has been moved back to October 30. This album is, in my opinion, the best The Gunshy has ever put out, and certainly the most poignant. Here is a quick word from Matt Arbogast:
 7 inch / 2 Songs / Sonic Swirl Records (SSR) The albums has 2 songs: Satan Superman and Dotbuster. I got this piece of vinyl for only 50 cents at Schoolkids Records, which is one of the only things there that is worth the price that Schoolkids charges.There are much better record stores in Athens, Ohio, including places like Outer Limits. This is good, fast, indy punk with vocals delivered…

This band is female-leaded, and it is on GODCO tunes. This tape has…

The new album by Neil Young, Chrome Dreams II, will be released by Reprise Records on October 23rd. Speaking from a vacation retreat with his family, Young says it’s “an album with a form based on some of my original recordings, with a large variety of songs, rather than one specific type of song.” It comes at a creative peak for the artist, following the Greendale, Prairie Wind, and Living…
The CD has 14 songs ,was published in 97, and is on Flying Nun Records . GL is a 4 piece band from New Zealand. They have very decent Indy songs with excellent tempo changes, while still keeping a cohesive sound. The transcribing of the lyrics to the CD liner is horrible. GL can sound like all sorts of acts, going from hard rock to pop to Alt. Rock. “Nude…
