Black Metal, Death Metal, Grindcore, Thrash and Heavy Metal Reviews from the net's original Heavy Metal site

HAIL,

Vicious vengenace of metallic benevolence continues.  We spread the word of
underground hatred and brutality with the new tiers of metal: 1) avantgarde
grindcore (BRUTAL TRUTH), 2) extreme black metal (NIDEN DIV 187), and 3)
complex modern death metal (KATAKLYSM).  Don't miss this entirely amazing
material and the powers it can bestow upon the conscious mind!

1. Brutal Truth "Kill Trend Suicide" (Relapse)
2. Niden Div 187 "Towards Judgement" (Necropolis)
3. Kataklysm "Temple of Knowledge" (Nuclear Blast)
4. Rise "Shadow of Ruin" (Nigma)
5. Kvist "De Kunsten Vi Maa Evig Vike" (Avantgarde)
6. Vader "De Profundis" (Conquest Music)
7. Cenotaph "9 Epic Rites" (Oz Productions)
8. Asgard "To a Golden Age" (Morbid Metal)
9. DarkThrone "Total Death" (MoonFog)
10. Molested "Blod-draun" (Effigy)
11. Hellheim "Jormangund" (Necropolis)
12. Pavor "A Pale Debilitating Autumn" (Imperator)
13. Ancient "The Cainian Chronicles" (Metal Blade)
14. Dimmu Borgir "Stormblast" (Cacophonous)
15. Wicked Innocence "Omnipotence" (Napalm Records)

Amazing as it is, this week's report has ended...If you represent any of the bands above consider promotional time with us as a way to reach more of L.A.'s bug-eyed horde of metalheads.  We believe in the metal and only play the underground power!  We boycott commercial bands, white power bands, and Christian "metal" bands, but our strength comes from each quality band we find in the
underground.
