Self Released, 1999, 3 song demo. This 4 piece band from California is a kick ass metal band. They can be best described as thrash/death metal, and they’re songs are very catchy and will make you mosh. Typical great guitars with unintelligible vocals that make the whole genre good. They do a little it of symphonic metal, and then just rock balls out. The fallen are very talented, and they…
2 songs are recorded in a studio and the rest are recorded live. Released in 92 on Cleopatra Records, with 18 songs on it. The songs have a fast tempo with a driving beat. The sound is very muddy on the live songs, but it still is amazing to listen to. Very good screaming delivery in the songs ,making this a true brit punk band. Political lyrics and screaming always…
8 songs made in 1995. This is really shitty recorded death metal band. The band has a sound near Gwar and MOD . They cover “Dogyalep” by Brutal Truth. Looking at these lyrics, the songs are supposed to be political, but you cant hear a fucking word they say. As with MOD, The politics in their songs are very misdirected (MOD-Right Wing, EN-Left Wing) The guitarist has potential, but he…
This is an 8 song release by these 4 guys from Europe on Century Black, which is a division of Century Media. Sounds of battle start off this cd, which leads into a atypical death metal song- screaming, 300 mph drum beats, and not very noticeable lead guitars. Usually, the lead guitar makes the death metal band, but I guess the harmonies thrown in are the main focus of the…
This taper is typical almost metal. Its a form of hard rock, but it lacks the ambition to be metal. This band is broken up now, so there is one less band in Lancaster. Too band we couldnt have had one of the shitty bands broke up. These guys werte ok. This tape is on Short Roy Records…. I have no clue where this labels page is at… any info…
6 songs on cyclone in 1997.Really good Rancid knockoff band with the same audible bass, vocal delivery and lyric style. This is less pop punk then rancid is , and as a result they sound better. Much better and more full of energy then rancid. They are old school mixed with oi with working class politics. 4 piece band that sounds polished and nsync. Great guitar riffs mix with scorching…
Track Listing: 1)Manna for the Masses 2)Abel Baker Charlie 3)Living Legend 4)Mrs C. I had this tape sent to me via mail.This band is pretty decent,but i would not know how to describe them.There is a link to their page if you would like to hear them so you can get a good earful.I give this tape a 6 1/2 out of 10,since its decent.
This album was released on lookout records in 1998, and it has 10 songs. They sound like the Slits, X-Ray SPex and the Ramones all rolled together, in 1977. They also has a kiss influence as well. THe Donna’s are one of the best female bands ever on one of the best labels ever, Lookout Records. Donna A’s vocals are top rate and all of the band sounds perfect, with…
15 songs on Nuclear Blast America in 1993. Being from Nuclear Blast, you would expect death metal. Dischange is metal, but with a killer hardcore/punk thing going on. They have the slow guitars of metal, the speedy drums of punk, and half-mushy vocals and short songs. Another great moshing band and they are also a 4 piece band. Some of the songs are very political in nature, but it is…
1995, on their own label. They can be emailed at StevenDFB@aol.com or called at (614) 341 7423. This tape is a 3 song demo, and the band may have a full album out by now. When i got this tape, I thought a band with the name “Dead Flower Bloom” would definitely be a death rock band. This is a very diverse band, with bits of Korn-Sound, 80’s rock, Indy…
This is a 2 cd set (1 Studio/1 Live) with a 40 Song set list. This is amazing punk from the late 70s and early 80s that successfully blended real Oi!, Gothic, and Noise, to make an amazing album. This is great pissed off/piss drunk punk that you can go wild to. If more pop punk bands would take Crass’es example, then punk music wouldn’t be full of the shitheads…
This is a 9 song album on Mayhem/Fierce Records ,and it was released in 1997. The 1st song, “humana” inspired to nightmare is instrumental. Cradle of Filth is a 6 piece band, and is black metal. Primeval screaming goes along well with very melodic guitars and a driving 300 mph drum beat. The guitarist can play some awesome solos. Cradle of Filth is so good that they can go from…
This tape is on Noise/Futurist records, and it was originally released in 1988. The lead singer sounds like Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and Scott Ian (Anthrax) mixed together. The guitar riffs sound like the Air Guitar riffs from the Bill and Ted movies. The beginning of the tape is kinda boring, but the tape starts sounding a lot better during the middle. This was a great find at NRM in the…
Complier-Bleeding Musiz This was self released in 1999 with 12 songs. This is one of the definatly hardest types of music to put a genre with .As his name implies, Compiler compiles his tracks with use of media altering software and drum machines. Some of his weapons are Cool Edit Pro, Audioforge, Cakewalk, and Hammerhead. These excellent programs, along with a serious demented mind, make a hell of a good…
12 songs released in 1998 by Creative Man Records.Breakneck UK Punk in the style of the Exploited, Sex Pistols, or Crass. There is very great drumming and vocals, which are typical pissed off Brit. They have just really good music that would be perfect to mosh to. The drummer should be revered by other drummers, because of the great sound he produces, and his speedy beat.”Kill” is the big Sex…
It was released in 1999 on Nettwerk records, and it had 13 songs. It cost me nothing. They are Canadian power-pop with a 70’s feel, like Sloan. They are a 4 piece band that have toured with such big bands like the Tragically Hip. BDR play excellent guitars with well written songs and catchy hooks. BDR strays away from the normal style of guitar playing, adding all sorts of effects…
Wow this is a fucked up tape. Noises, reversed records, sped up records, different instruments at different speeds, it has everything . Except for song breaks. I had no clue which song was which on the tape, so i listened very very closely to the tape. Its ok for a tape of total noise, and that makes it a good industrial tape, which i don’t think there are many of…
 This album is an awesome example of amazing guitar work. The band features Dave Hanacek on Guitar, and ex- Lagwagon guitarist Shawn Dewey on Vox. Filling out the ranks are Brian Flennijen on Drums, and Thom Richards on bass. The band started about 3 years ago in a small town called Goleta. This album is their sophomore effort, and it sounds greats. It has typical above average punk bass and…
This album is on Firebrand Records, was released in 1998, and has 17 songs. They are a really good sounding Old Punk/Hardcore band.For Instance “Battles and Underwear” is reminiscent of the Sex Pistols. They are a 3 piece band with Ryan Hurt on guitar and vocals, Brentt Liberation on drums and vocals, and Maybe Rioter on bass and backing vocals. BO has short songs combining with awesome structures to make…
Well thought out guitar riffs that sound extremely well by this metal band. The riffs have more of the 80s feel, and they are perfect to mosh to. Boulder’s vocals consist of screaming, and the drums are just average. The solos by the guitarist are really good as well. Excellent sounding classic thrash metal from these guys in Ohio. These guys are supposed to have an awesome live show. If…
