De...Marga...

 An album completely immersed in Death-Thrash sounds that brings them closer to the early part of their career.

 A solid, well-focused work; their last one worthy of note.

Benediction's 'Grind Bastard' marks a strong return after a weak previous album. Released in 1998, it delivers aggressive death-thrash with excellent production and intense performances. The album showcases solid instruments interplay, powerful drumming, and includes a bold Judas Priest cover. It remains a standout in their discography with energetic pacing and no dull moments throughout its duration. Dive into Benediction's 'Grind Bastard' and experience one of death-thrash metal's fiercest comebacks!

 A crystalline prism of extremely high notes, beyond any logic; I take Chris Cornell in the early Soundgarden albums as a reference. But Scott goes even further: an alienating, insanely schizophrenic wail.

 Like Meshuggah, before Meshuggah, and even better than Meshuggah.

Confessor's 1991 debut album 'Condemned' is a pioneering and complex Death-Doom record featuring uniquely high-pitched vocals and intricate drumming. Reissued by Earache in 2015, the album showcases a sound ahead of its time, blending brutal technicality with doom metal influences. Despite low sales initially, the album is recognized as an extraordinary and misunderstood classic. It stands as a significant contribution to extreme metal with lasting impact. Explore Confessor's 'Condemned' for a unique Death-Doom experience that defined a metal era ahead of its time.

 The ten tracks all develop in a very similar way: a lazy, slow, narcoleptic beginning that almost induces drowsiness.

 A contemplative and mystical masterpiece.

This review revisits Cell, a lesser-known 1990s New York band, through their album Slo-Blo. The album blends vigorous Post-Punk guitar work and melodic elements akin to Sonic Youth and Nirvana. Songs feature slow builds into powerful Psycho-Grunge crescendos, highlighted by evocative vocals reminiscent of Guy Kyser. The reviewer praises the contemplative and hypnotic qualities, especially in the track 'Stratosphere'. Explore the hypnotic depths of Cell's Slo-Blo and experience a unique blend of Post-Punk and Grunge today!

 "Scenes From The Second Storey" is simply the album of the nineties for me, excluding Primus.

 I was kidnapped and bewitched by God Machine, thanks also to the purity of tracks like 'Seven' and 'Purity.'

This review fondly remembers The God Machine’s debut album, Scenes From The Second Storey, as a masterpiece of the 90s alternative and metal scenes.

 Les could even compose a modulated fart with his jaunty bass for the duration of an entire album: it would become the album of the year.

 Despite being a non-sung song, it reads: Lennon lead vocals and Claypool vocals, to convey the prankish spirit and definite fun that guided the delirious duo.

The Claypool Lennon Delirium's Monolith of Phobos is praised for its skilful fusion of Les Claypool's distinctive bass with Sean Lennon's 70s-inspired psychedelia. The album is described as free, varied, and meticulously crafted, with each track offering a unique auditory experience. The reviewer, a longtime Claypool fan, finds the album ecstatic and considers it the album of 2016. The playful spirit and space-themed artwork add to the overall charm. Dive into the cosmic psychedelia of The Claypool Lennon Delirium's Monolith of Phobos and experience a bold musical journey!

 "The Ska of 'Unyielding Conditioning' makes me smile with genuine delight because Fishbone is, first and foremost, a band that has made fun a reason for living."

 "A record that, in all honesty, does not reach the prodigious and unreachable heights of their undisputed masterpiece... but I still give it five stars."

This review vividly recounts a personal hiking experience powered by Fishbone’s 1993 album. The energetic mix of funk, rock, and ska perfectly complements the journey’s challenges and calm moments. While not surpassing the band’s masterpiece, this album earns a solid five-star rating for its creativity and enduring impact. Listen to Fishbone’s dynamic 1993 album and experience the perfect fusion of funk, rock, and ska!
