 (21 Customer Reviews)
In spite of straying so far from its black metal roots as to almost seem a completely different band at times, Dimmu Borgir still packs a powerful punch on Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. New guitarist Galder (formerly of Old Man's Child) nicely infuses more traditional metallic mannerisms, but the addition of drummer Nicholas Barker (Cradle of Filth and Lock Up) is critical. His always-punishing percussive prowess allows the seamless melding of speedy black metal with considerably more orchestration, this time around provided by the Gothenburg Opera Orchestra itself, creating a cacophony of nefarious melodies atop gothic gloom. "Puritania" is indicative of something the band probably would never have tried even a few years ago, a stirring descant with a myriad of vocal styles seemingly coming from all directions. A minority of purists might see this as too much of a departure, a complaint that would have more merit if Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia wasn't as exquisite as it is diverse. The Japanese edition features a bonus CD with two tracks, including a cheeky cover of Twisted Sister's "Burn in Hell" and two videos. ~ Brian O'Neill

Suffrajett cranks out fuzzy, distorted rock with enough melodies to keep you hooked, and enough garage roughness to get the hip kids drooling. Fueled by the sweetness-turned-retaliation of lead singer Simi, Suffrajett rockets into a world where post-punk meets garage-rock. Here, the melodies matter as much as the lyrics, reeling the listener in for an explosive ride they won't forget.Hailing from New York, Simi and Jason Chasko, the duo Suffrajett, avoid being just another garage rock band with their self-titled debut. The record is an explosive, guitar-driven display of their garage rock prowess. However their sense of melody and knack for writing infectious songs coupled with front woman Simi's confused, if not sometimes venomous songs about failed relationships, boyfriends that just didn't care about her, and unmet expectations ensure that this is anything but ordinary.Suffrajett is 12 songs of rock 'n' roll, plain and simple. Female-fronted, sexy, and explosive, this is a band that has balls. From the opening number, "Love Me More", which proclaims, "If this is really love, I think it's overrated", through "The Drugs", which asks, "Do you think the drugs make you feel better?... Will you love me tonight?", Suffrajett keeps you enthralled from start to finish.The songs have grit, they have teeth, and they don't pull back the punches, calling it as they see it. Letting the guitars rip as they pound out loud songs with a lot of energy, somehow Suffrajett never lets go of their melodic sense. They play equally to pop and garage rock audiences, recalling the glory day of mid 90's alt-rock ala Veruca Salt and other like minded bands, all without sounding out of place in the New York scene that is also breeding the likes of The Strokes. That's because Suffrajett has personality and a voice, ensuring their songs are never indirect or elusive, each number easily accessible, making you want to sing along, while also touching you as you relate to them. Suffrajett is a batch of songs that instantly grab you, something lacking from a vast majority ...

| | Pure Techno, Vol. 2 CD (2004)
Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy
$15.35
Like the first disc in the series, the second volume of Pure Techno is more like "Random Dance Music," with no particular focus on any one style. Crystal Method's "Acetone," Lords of Acid's "Rubber Doll," Underworld's "Jumbo," Sander Van Doorn's "Punk'd," multiple tracks from Information Society, and Moby's "We Are All Made of Stars" (which appeared in the same label's Pure Trance series!) are very different from one another, going to show that the compilation is a lot more diverse than its title would indicate. Most of the tracks are edited in order to allow space -- a scheme that only benefits marketing. "16 More Hi-Tech Hits from the Masters" carries a lot more weight than "10 More Hi-Tech Hits from the Masters," but the edits can be very irritating for those who want to hear the full versions. ...

An intriguing album to say the least, Completion Makes the Tragedy is the first effort by Coldseed -- a somewhat supergroup boasting members of Soilwork and Blind Guardian who appear to be on a mission to come up with something very different from their regular pursuits in European power metal and post-death metal. And, to their credit, they've used an incredibly eclectic assortment of styles with which to compose this album's ...
