Jag Panzer are back,
no one off come- back here! J.P. are championing ‘80’s heavy metal and
of course they are well suited to do such as they were around the first
time and made their mark. I really love the soaring, smooth vocals as
they slide across the ranges of high screams to gritty lows. The vocals
remind me heavily of the latest Tad Morose singer whom I am an admirer.
J.P. are masters of melody & layering the material to create a very
emotional, driving metal anthems Tweaked by some great guitar leads that
tattoo themselves to the brain. Mid-paced and melodic heavy metal near
it’s pinnacle. Yes, Jag Panzer need no longer to ride on the reputation
of their classic ‘80’s album “Ample Destruction”, as they have a
bone-a-fide winner in this LP. All power/heavy metal fans will want this
in their collection.

This is a re-release
(this time on disc) of this bands now classic ’95 demo tape of the same
name. I remember liking this when I reviewed it the first time for The
Sepulchral Voice, a mag I used to write for. I also reviewed their first
demo in ’94 “Rip Your Face Off” in which I told them to drop some of the
weaker thrashiness and concentrate on their death metal side - their
strength. They did exactly that on the this raging demo that got them
signed to Pulverizer Records (now they are on Pavement Music). If you
liked their album at all, then u, need this!

Extremely raw,
caustic and lawlessly, hateful American black metal sums up the music of
Krieg. They blend acidic riffs that cut into you like a rusty knife
leaving jagged, gaping wounds. The drumming is pretty repetitive but
manage, to do the job and the vocals of Lord Imperial are maniacal,
insane, and emotional as he goes from spoken passages to agitated
shrieks. Said vocals really are the only thing that separates this band
from the average black metal hordes. |
Grooovy metal that
is very straight-forward and mixes in industrial/techno touches. The
vocals are raspy shout and at times have a sickening rap style to them.
People into stuff like Fear Factory, Meshuggah, Skinlab ought to like
this just fine. Me, I fucking hate it!!

Olympic did a great
job on this, all bands have a good sound and here is a run down for ya.
There are only 2 bad bands who shamelessly butchered Ozzy classics:
Soulstorm “Mr.Crowley”, and Filthboy who do an awful, awful “Ultimate
Sin”. The good bands include: Obliveon “Suicide Solution”, Los Gusanos
“No Bone Movies”, Opressor “Over The Mountian”(I heard this song on the
metal channel on digital cable here in Philly!), Morta Skuld “Believer”,
Syris “Crazy Train” and Distorted Rage “I don’t Know”. Stand out blow
your doors off covers come from: Solitude Aeturnus “No More Tears”,
November’s Doom “Revelation (Mother Earth)”, and Lethal with “S.AT.O.”

I know this is a
little old, but I finally got a copy on CD (to replace my dub) and felt
it really deserved the space. Lividity play some of the sickest brutal
prono death/grind on the planet. They slam you with gut wrenching riffs
and an explosion of vomitous growls from 2 separate members and slash
you from every direction. Highly recommended to all extreme death /
grinders with strong stomachs! Send $12 US/$14 WORLD to:

Pppfffftt…Put
Machine Head, Meshuggah, Fear Factory in a blender and get wannabe’s
Lost Souls. Generic crap and I am getting so thoroughly disgusted this
boring style of Canadian Assault termed ‘jump metal’.
