Red X Rebellion is a band hailing from the outskirts of chicago Singer is Sean Jason is the guitarist Brian is the bassist and co-founder of the band and Pat is the second guitarist.

This 4 song demo has alot of potential very hard driven lots of energy and raw power very Alice in Chains sounding.


Track one-Wounded Ground heavy guitar and the great singer singing every day i think of what to say about repressed memories.

Track four- Intravenous Love really stuck in my head very poetically based song singing I felt the cold winds growing and when the dark is calling. with a overlay sample apologize for all the mistakes you made. This is a very strong track. Also singing
back then you were fooling someone saying you ain't pulling the wool over my eyes.
This band is thought provoking very moving and just plain kicks your ass all over the dance floor designed to leave you with great emotions this band brings out all of them. 4 stars


A gothic industiral heavy band worth seeing check them out you're in for a ride of your life!

Sealed in Silence Raphael is the brains behind this band. the cd
Stille lst Selbstmord film noir-esque. Picture Cold Meat Industry meets surreal landscapes and encounters frankenstein, hitler and phantom of the opera all at once.


A cd that is not like others.

Track one Todeswunsch is very haunting very Leatherstrip-esque filled with samples and machine gun sounds demented church choirs high octave sounds and voiceovers of screaming and electronic technology overpowering everything.


Track twoTodeslast female vocals singing a requiem for the dead. with a hint of electro making it an electro funeral for the dead. Ethereal symphonies meets a new revolution.


Track six Todesangst hammer meets metal sounds very heavy drum machine heavy machinery taking over the primitive. For we have evolved technology is everywhere and will reign.



Over all this cd conquers the conformist way. It is by all means as original as it gets.
The band has distrubution in northamerica United States Darkland Music Cold Noir Facilty records.


It also has distrubtion in Germany Europe also.


This band originated in Germany we are glad to have them here where they belong.

Incorporating sound scapes film noir german expressionism and making it flow with futurisic elements now that's talent. 4 stars


Look for my interview with Raphael coming soon.

Prick The Wreckard consisting of Kevin Mc Mahon who is the lead singer warne livesey bass and engineering Gary King, live drums Garret Hammond live dums and John Guciardo guitar solo on track 10.

This band hails from Lakewood Ohio who are known for doing the musical hit song for the score of Showgirls the movie. A speical note did you know the band doesn't even own a copy of this I found that very intreresting!


On to the review. This is the most bowiesque band I have ever heard in my life next to Chris Connelly and the bells


Track One Three Rings is poetic justice. Kevin sings I was out on the wire looking for the quickest way down swallowing fire playing the clown this is very inellectual sounding with heavy guitar riffs and industiral voiceovers.

Singing troubles with the world today freedom causes confusion leave your troubles up to me very upbeat Bowie sounds on this one.


Track seven Actress is very Mansony and Newlydeads sounding singing all this sex and violence came from my tv very reminscent of god is in the tv need I say anymore all the glam anyone could handle perhaps a dance floor track.


Track eleven Darling Dead singing stay with me my darling dead there will be drugs everwhere very rockstar sounding telling a story of sex drugs and rock and roll that age old cliche rebel rebel youre face is a mess enough said.


Track fourteen Universe the most abstract song on the whole album very shoegazer so much abstractness this is a dali painting that Bowie is holding in front of you the audience singing The universe is amusing and painting 1575349, the universe is taking my jacke and never explaining why? asking why? throughout this song singing destruction is pointless the angels are truth angels are a threat to others why? llots of strangeness and moody piano very diverse song for an indusrial band.

The most diverse album I have heard in a long time! 3 stars


look for my interview with Prick soon!

Apocalypse Theatre
Lost in America
Caroline Records
Underground Inc

This cd Lost in America is pure bliss. First of all there must be about 20 people or so in this band playing confederate drums guitars keyboards drum machine you name it they'll play it picture a good time all equipped with theatrics.

Kami is there performance artist girl a beautiful little goth girl playing with a demented teddy bear to all the craziness around her tormente in her world with all these lost souls surrounding her like there taunting her in a dream playing their music for her requeim.

Track one The disease containing back up sings that compliment their lead singer snging they all fall down like a demented version of london bridges gone wrong. This song tells all tells of all the lost souls in the world that fall down from something they can't fight against. This song makes you move as well as think.

Track Two- Lust Love Lies is to me is one of the most dancy songs on the whole cd singing with catchy little lines like I want to be your salvation even if it means my damnation. Hey with words like this you just gotta listen.


Track eight- Dorothy is probably the most Sistery of the Mercy song I have ever heard but that is a compliment singing about the heartland as if this is the last song to be played before the apocalypse the guitars along will haunt you and will pull at you they will taunt you they will make you believe the apocalypse is here the 20 men and women of the apocalypse are here they have arrived but as a band that are going to rock you till you fade out burn out and join them.

Dorothy like the Wzard of Oz you might think is the same ut the devil has her and she isn't coming home!

Apocalypse Theatre is a theatre of madness you have metal throw in some new wave antics add some old school goth element and call on the civil war with those confederate drums and you got Apox almost like a disease that grows on you and won't let go.

One of the most promising bands hailing from Minneapolis.
