De...Marga...

 Despite great reviews and good appreciation from the public, the record company dropped them without any warning.

 The dramatic events they had to endure acted as propellant, a vigorous push for a work that I personally consider among the best of the entire nineties.

Mind Funk's second album 'Dropped' emerged from industry rejection to become a strong, passionate work blending metal, funk, and grunge. Produced by Terry Date on a tight budget, it features dark, powerful riffs and emotional vocals. Despite being dropped by Epic Records after their debut, the band’s resilience shines through this underrated 90s album. The reviewer regards it as one of the best works of the decade. Explore Mind Funk's 'Dropped'—a powerful blend of metal and funk that overcame industry rejection. Listen now and discover a hidden 90s classic!

 The title track stands out as the best song of the lot: a true Punk - Hardcore slingshot that seems written in 1981, so dynamic and offensive.

 Dave and the others want to remind us that they are a legend of the epitaphic melodic Hardcore and fear very few comparisons in this regard.

This review highlights Down by Law's 1993 three-track single Yellow Rat Bastard, emphasizing its blend of melodic hardcore and punk energy. Led by Dave Smalley, a key figure from Dag Nasty, the title track impresses with dynamic and technically skilled performances. The single includes strong original songs and a notable cover of Mission Of Burma. The reviewer appreciates the band's passion and legacy within the hardcore punk scene. Dive into Down by Law's energetic Yellow Rat Bastard and experience a melodic hardcore classic from punk legend Dave Smalley!

 "A heavily drugged and hallucinogenic Heavy - Fuzz - Psychedelic sound; Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kyuss, and especially Monster Magnet are the impressive benchmarks."

 "A blistering finale in a constant 'unreasoned' ascent where the guitar is imploded to cut through the air with an acidic sound that annihilates you."

Josiah’s third album 'No Time' is their most focused and successful release, delivering a powerful psychedelic heavy rock experience. Influences from Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Monster Magnet shape its sound. The album features blistering guitar work and a raw, urgent energy. Standout tracks like 'I Can’t Seem to Find it' demonstrate the band’s seismic impact. Overall, the reviewer awards top marks for this intense and captivating record. Listen to Josiah’s 'No Time' now and experience a raw, psychedelic rock journey that will blow your mind!

 The album of the year as far as auditory slaughter is concerned.

 They want to hurt, and they are an unstoppable machine that sweeps and shatters everything.

Dead Cross's debut album is an intense, violent sonic experience featuring Mike Patton's erratic vocals and Dave Lombardo's machine-gun drumming. Produced by Ross Robinson, the album disregards trends in favor of raw energy. The cover of Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" adds a unique twist. The album is praised for its brutal, unrelenting sound. Dive into the chaotic world of Dead Cross and experience this brutal debut album now!

 It is quite simple to predict the sound matter that constitutes an album by the Swedes: a disastrous and scorching auditory hell that moves between Hard - Punk'n'Roll slashes and a distinctly Glam-oriented aftertaste.

 The title track, in my opinion, is the most successful song, thanks in particular to an ascending finale where the two chaotic guitars vibrate with sweaty passion for a wild and overwhelming Garage - Roll ride to be delivered to posterity.

 Nothing and no one can ever match the infernal and demonic musical approach of Ozzy and his worthy companions.

 The scepter for the best interpretation should be awarded to Confessor, who, led by Scott Jeffreys’ crystalline voice, expertly navigate 'Hole In The Sky.'

 The album takes us back in time, recalling the masterpiece of suffocating slowness that was 'Forest of Equilibrium' by Cathedral.

 Lee’s voice intent on weaving vocal sermons of horrifying beauty.

 "I wonder how it’s possible not to jump off the couch and turn up the stereo volume when the very first notes of 'Forest For The Trees' kick in."

 "'Boston' is my favorite song of the Sacred Syndicate!!! With that epic leading riff on the six-string, so damn engaging."

The reviewer emphasizes the album's energy and musical quality, inviting listeners to appreciate its underrated status. Dive into 'Out of the Grey' and experience a powerful, underrated gem from The Dream Syndicate’s classic era!

 ‘Of Seismic Consequence’ is their most tense, dark, dramatic album; with that sax, played by Bruce, that throws further gasoline on the fire of a sound tumult of suffocating and raw beauty.

 A masterpiece of a song, like the whole album; no bullsh*t!!!

Yakuza's 'Of Seismic Consequence' is their most intense and dramatic album, mixing jazz-core with chaotic grind and powerful saxophone by Bruce Lamont. It balances wild energy with artistic expression, referencing artists like John Zorn and Slayer. The album is praised for its raw beauty and standout tracks like 'Good Riddance (The Knuckle Walkers)'.

 Unfortunately, this is the least successful work of Steve's entire enormous career.

 Wynn's sparse and minimalist poetic style, overloaded by a lush and pompous production, suffers greatly from an artificial and superfluous prolixity.

Steve Wynn's 'Dazzling Display' is a rarely misstep in his otherwise solid solo career. Despite ambitious production and a large cast of musicians, the album suffers from overproduction and lacks the raw immediacy of his earlier works. While some tracks show promise, the overall result is weighed down by excessive instrumentation and artificial sounds. The review concludes with a cautious three-star rating out of love for Wynn's legacy. Discover the highs and lows of Steve Wynn's Dazzling Display—listen to the album and decide for yourself!
