Reviews
*Rhythmic Symphony - /The Mechanism Fulfilled/*

Some may remember the review of the compilation "4 x 4 Multi-single: Volume 2'" that Rhythmic Symphony's participation in said compilation caused a strong impression. The wait for a full-length release is over and it was worth every minute.

*Caustic - /Unicorns, Kittens, & Shit/*

 This is one burly mother of a record, meant for kicks, shits and giggles, not contemplative listening from the headphones while sitting on your rocking chair. So break that chair's leg, grab a beer, and go pump that album loud, cause it's riot time.

*DisinVectant - /Unclean EP/*

True to the soundtrack feel of DisinVectant's first album, while being somewhat less oppressing, "Unclean" is a good, if short, taste of releases to come by the duo, hopefully sometime soon.
