Review: Punto Omega – Self-Title
PUNTO OMEGA Self-Title Metropolis 3/5 The spread of industrial angst has reached Argentina and has brought with it Punto Omega (that translates to “Omega Point”). Viator and Pilgrim, the duo known as Punto Omega, only recently started this project in 2002. It took hardly any time for L’lame Immortelle’s Thomas Rainer to discover them and

Review: Hocico – Born To Be Heated
HOCICO BORN TO BE HATED Out of Line 4/5 It’s hard for me to get tired of Hocico. They produce so much consistently angry, quality music and it never seems to get old. “Born to be (Hated)” is the single to the album that is rumored to be released sometime in August. Four tracks (the

K.O.T. FEAT. HAZE “DREAMS” Defected Records From Kings of Tomorrow, including headman Sandy Rivera (“Finally” and “Changes”) comes the hit of the summer. The first edition of this release comprises Spanish boys Chus and Ceballos. Promised to be engineered for the New York and Ibiza megaclubs, this track is full of tribal sounds underlying the

Review: Knee Deep – I Won’t Let You Down
KNEE DEEP “I WON’T LET YOU DOWN” Knee Deep USA Soulful and thrusting grooves are the trademark of the infamous Knee Deep boys. Basti and Toddie, both in production and DJ-ing, are never too sophisticated or stuffed with loops, yet have managed to combine soul, funk and Latin into a sound that is downright charming. “I

Review: Soul Magic – Yah Yah
SOUL MAGIC “YAH YAH” Soulfuric Deep With releases on Swing City and Morehouse, this man can do no wrong. Soul Magic, a.k.a. Morten Trust, has been producing and DJ-ing on the international house scene for more than a decade. From an early age, Trust has played in bands and eventually progressed into one of the

Review: Seek – Everafter
SEEK “EVERAFTER” (REMIXES) GoGo Music Seek originally released this album in late 2000 on Giant Step Records, this latest interpretation is right on target with the soul-disco era of house music. As GoGo Records continue to release more quality house, this adds a timeless vibe to the label’s catalogue. The “Ralf Gum & Crisp” mixes

Review: Decontrol – The Final War
Decontrol “The Final War” CD This record has four different illustrations of gas masks, and I’m beginning to wonder why they are so popular on T-shirts and record covers. It’s probably because gas masks are the last thing punks see before the riot police hose them down with pepper spray. Decontrol know exactly how to get

Review: Hellshock – Only the Dead Know the End of...
Hellshock “Only the Dead Know the End of War” LP Speaking of my three-week Bolt Thrower binge, this Hellshock LP came at the perfect time. They have twin-guitar harmonies that are brutal and foreboding, just like Bolt Thrower. They have march-into-battle riffs and guttural vocals, just like Bolt Thrower. They have lots of songs about war,

Review: Jungle Rot – Fueled By Hate
Jungle Rot Fueled By Hate Century Media Jungle Rot is back with their third full-length release, Fueled By Hate. Is it really three different albums, or is it the same album released three different times? I mean, seriously, these guys pull off a decent mid-tempo death tune, but isn’t there anything else to warrant a

Review: Carcass – Choice Cuts
Carcass Choice Cuts Earache Records The “best of” Carcass, Choice Cuts, is being released nine years after they put out their last album, Swansong—now that’s timing for you! Of the studio-released tracks from Choice Cuts, two come from Reek Of Putrefaction, two from Symphonies Of Sickness, one from the Tools Of The Trade EP, two
