Doro Pesch Interviewed by EvilG Some of you will remember Doro from her successful career with the German metal band Warlock. That band fell apart in the late 80’s but Doro’s musical career did not end there! After spending a good part of the past decade pursuing a solo career…

Halford – RESURRECTION
Reviewed: September 2000 Released: 2000, Metal-is RecordsRating: 4.5/5 Reviewer: Luxi Lahtinen The big news is \”The Metal God is back…\”, but a natural question follows: \”Is he still the God of Metal?\” With Two, his previous effort, he struggled somewhere in between an electronic world and a state of confusion…
Kruiz – S/T
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 1988, WEA MusicRating: 4.5/5 Reviewer: Joe First off, I must thank fellow Disgruntled Metalhead Ultra Boris for sending me a copy of this CD. I first heard Kruiz back in ‘88/’89 when Much Music’s Power Hour aired their video for “In Flames” and I was immediately impressed.…
20Ft. Wide – Demos
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 2000, IndependentRating: 4.0/5 Reviewer: Keith McDonald It seems Long Island has been developing better and better bands lately. With the major label releases and success of bands like Wheatus and Nine Days, people are starting to take notice at it’s original scene instead of the vast covers…
Dee Snider – Never Let The Bastards Wear You Down
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 2000, Koch RecordsRating: 3.5/5 Reviewer: Keith McDonald This may be Dee’s last album, according to Dee. Now, it’s not a new studio album with material written specifically for it. What it is is a collection of songs written during his Twisted Sister / Widowmaker / Desperado days…
Queensryche – Greatest Hits
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 2000, EMIRating: 4.0/5 Reviewer: Keith McDonald I like Greatest Hits packages. I always find it easier to grab one CD full of band’s better material, and with this disc you can’t go wrong. Queensryche always knew how to write a great song and they finally get their…
Lessness – “Cows, Pitbulls And Spacecake”
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 1998, Power Records Int.Rating: 1.5/5 Reviewer: EvilG I realize that this CD is two years old now, but I just recently received a copy and felt it was only fair to give this a listen and a review. I don’t like to badmouth a band but I…
Winter Kill – Freedom
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 1998, Wildfire MusicRating: 4.0/5 Reviewer: Rick Ok. I know that this CD was released almost 2 years ago but I was just sent it by the band and since their new CD is not finished I will review this one. Winter Kill is a 5 piece band…
The Gathering – If Then Else
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 2000, Century MediaRating: 3.0/5 Reviewer: Rick The Gathering. Why they are considered metal I have no idea. At one point yes they passed but not anymore. Still metalheads just love these guys (and girl). I don’t know what it is. To me they have a real dreamy…
The Fallen – The Tones In Which We Speak
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 2000, IndependentRating: 3.5/5 Reviewer: Rick Damn this is a good CD. When EvilG gave me this one I wasn’t expecting to like it a whole lot. But it was metal so I took it like a grateful little metalhead and went on home to pop it in…
Slow Horse – S/T
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 1999, Freebird RecordsRating: 3.0/5 Reviewer: Rick Slow, slower and yet more slow. Throw in some great doom, some really down tuned guitars and you have Slow Horse. Slow Horse play a very down tuned doom metal with very slow tempos. The band was formed in 1996 by…
Rob Rock – Rage of Creation
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 2000, IndependentRating: 5.0/5 Reviewer: Rick Why this guy isn’t a household name in metal is quite beyond me. He has one of the best voices that I have ever heard! And before anyone even asks (I have already been asked this), no this is not Bob Rock…
Rainmaker888 – Demo
Reviewed: September 2000Released: 2000, IndependentRating: 3.5/5 Reviewer: Rick This cassette has seen some serious misadventures since coming into my possession. The details of which shall remain secret.
