Rebel's Mother
The Dark Unknown
Reviewed by David Bixler
When I first looked at the picture of the band on this CD, I expected death metal. And though there are some growls, this is primarily speed / thrash with gruff yet clean vocals. These 2 guys and a girl can rock, though the mix does get muddy when they go into warp speed. Overall, this is a solid CD from a band I would like to see live. (Be sure to check out their song on this issue's Hard Music Sampler CD) To order The Dark Unknown, send $8 to: Jeremy Brown, PO Box 546, Lathrop CA 95330

HM Magazine #79Reviewed by Doug Van PeltHere's some metal with influences like Metallica . . . lots of chopping riffs and angry shout vocals. The guitars, of course, have a definite bite to them. Sometimes the sonics come up short in showcasing all that's here. Tourniquet has had an influence on them as well, it seems. Pretty good stuff.
