Mortal- Fathom

Mortal is kinda a a rock industrial type thing. Fathom came out around 93. i get into this album because of the song rift. i heard it on some christian radio show and i loved it. most of this album i don't really get, but 'Rift', and 'Jill Sent Me' are the best tracks on this album. I'm really surprised that 'Jill Sent me' didn't get some airplay on reg radio. it was good enough to be a mainstream breakout for them i thought, but what the hell do i know. anyway, enjoy the album!

Whitecross- Hammer and Nail

i get so tired of hearing about these guys sounding like Ratt. but seriously that singer back then sounded just like Ratt. anyway, this is a pretty cool album. i know i wasn't the only dude imagining i was playing that hammer and nail solo on my tennis racket! anyway, i heard that Scott kinda tore up his voice and in the later albums he sounds totally different, so who knows. all i know is if your into leather, big hair, big solo's and large print bibles, then Whitecross is the band for you...
song list is as follows:

Whitecross - Hammer & Nail (Pure Metal) 1988

1. "Living on the Edge" (5:11)
2. "When the Walls Tumble Down" (3:32)
3. "Hammer and the Nail" (1:35)
4. "Take It to the Limit" (4:09)
5. "Walk with Me" (4:44)
6. "Because of Jesus" (3:40)
7. "When the Clock Strikes" (4:34)
8. "Resist Him" (4:20)
9. "Living in a Lost World" (3:51)
10. "Top of the World" [instrumental] (3:33)

Lightforce- 1986-1989

Lightforce 1986 to 1989 contains the Mystical Thieves (Tracks 1-8) and Battlezone albums (Tracks 9-15) plus 2 bonus songs from the 1986 Lightforce Demo. now I've never heard of the Battlezone demo but i was totally sold on the mystical thieves album, even though every review went on and on about it sounding like the recorder it in the bathroom. this is a great album that made me think of Iron Maiden the first time i heard them. 'Metal Missionaries' is a great song with a hilarious ending where they are all talking. the best track to me, (although i freakin love every tack on this album), has to be Babylon. i actually still know that part of revelations word for word. (17:1-5). not that its a great feat or anything that's like, what, 5 verses? anyway, this is a kick ass album for the inclusion of Mystical thieves itself. give it a listen and see where these 'Grind Planets' got their start...
song list is as follows:

LightForce - 1986 to 1989 (Rowe Productions) 2003

1. "Mystical Thieves" (8:05)
2. "Crossfire" (4:15)
3. "City Streets" (4:35)
4. "Metal Missionary" (5:26)
5. "Children of Sorrow" (3:54)
6. "Searching" (5:30)
7. "Fastlane" (3:52)
8. "Babylon" (7:00)
9. "Choose to Win" (4:33)
10. "Evil Desires" (2:56)
11. "Reigning With the King" (5:40)

Dysrhythmia- Barriers and Passages

this came out in 06' on Relapse Records. this guitar work on here is insane. anyone who listens to this will probably feel like hanging up the guitar forever. once again, amazing time signatures, very, very interesting, well thought out music. 'Appeared at First'and 'Sleep Decayer' are my favorite songs on the disc. on their myspace it says, "no vocals, no breakdowns, no dancing, no fun!" these guys, next to Training For Utopia, are the most amazing examples of controlled chaos I've ever heard. this disc had a new bassist on it. if you find out they're in town, you need to go see em. they will knock you on your ass.

song list is as follows:
Dysrhythmia- Barriers and Passages (2006 Relapse Records)

1. "Pulsar" - 1:13
2. "Appeared At First" - 3:06
3. "Bypass The Solenoid" - 3:14
4. "An Ally To Comprehension" - 4:10
5. "Seal / Breaker / Void" - 7:41
6. "Kamma Niyama" - 2:23
7. "Sleep Decayer" - 5:32
8. "Bus: Terminal" - 1:46
9. "Luminous" - 4:25
10. "Will the Spirit Prevail" - 3:16

Dysrhythmia- No Interference

Dysrhythmia is a freakin awesome post rock metal band that i saw for the first time Joplin opening for Dillinger Escape Plan(which in my opinion, blew them the hell away). this is no-vocal post rock. sometimes it boarders on metal but is always super, super tasty. there are time signatures galore and at first listen it may seem like its just a cd full of noise, but give it a few more listens. i was blown away by how tight these dudes were when i saw than live. i don't think they ever stopped playing the entire time they were onstage. it was kinda exhausting watching them, but I'll never forget them and I'll get everything they put out. go out right now and get it. if you don't got the bread, take it. enjoy...

song list is as follows:

Dysrhythmia- No Interference (2005 Translation Loss Records)
1. Body Destroyed, Brain Intact - 3:01
2. Craving for Transformation - 4:15
3. No Interference - 7:20
4. Circulatory System Overhaul - 6:34
5. Let You Fall - 10:51
6. Orbiting - 6:59
7. Nutritional Facelift - 3:03
8. Slumlord - 3:59
9. We Lead the Way - 3:54
10. Psychic Desolation - 4:40
11. Four, Five, Six Minutes Late - 1:51
