Faith No More - The Real Thing
Review by Gary Hill
Although the majority of the lyrics to this album are too dark and gritty for my tastes, the music contained herein is a very good meshing of heavy metal and progressive rock influences.

Fates Warning - Disconnected
Review by Vivian Lee
In July of 2000 Fates Warning, the thinking person's prog metal band from California, have offered their latest, Disconnected. This brave new effort resembles, but not rehashes, past works like A Pleasant Shade of Grey or Parallels, either musically or in theme.

Fight - A Small Deadly Space
Review by Gary Hill
Much of this album is pure metal, however there are sections that show much progressive influences. Rob Halford`s vocal work here is based in the lower end of the register, rather than showing the high end pyrotechnics that he exhibited in Judas Priest.

Fireaxe - Lovecraftian Nightmares
Review by Gary Hill
Fireaxe is a one-man band in the personage of Brian Voth. The sound of Fireaxe certain falls into heavy metal, although there are other elements present as well.

Fireborn - Reflections
Review by Gary Hill
I have heard of this band being called "hard rock," rather than metal. There is some merit to that.

FireHouse - O2
Review by Gary Hill
This new release by Firehouse finds them continuing their career of ‘80’s styled metal done with a classic tilt. For fans of that type of music, this CD should be a good entry into the catalog.

Since scorching up the charts up with hits like "Love Of A Lifetime" and "Don't Treat Me Bad", Firehouse have finally put on tape what they do best; and that is play live. Bring 'em Out "LIVE" is a collection of the band's greatest hits captured live.

Five Pointe 0 - Untitled
Review by Arnold Hablewitz
Coolness - as Joliet, IL is now firmly on the musical map with this, a 6-piece metal band comprised mostly of kids just out of or finishing high school. Kicking around for only a few years, the band has already honed a surprisingly mature sound while still retaining that youthful energy and attitude that the nu-metal genre is known for.

When the subject of great heavy metal guitar duos comes up, Hank Shermann and Michael Denner will never be far from the lips of the knowing metalhead.

Forever Autumn - Crowned in Skulls
Review by Gary Hill
This act is listed as a metal band, so I'm going to include this under heavy metal. I have to wonder if their other music is different, though.

From Hell - Ascent from Hell
Review by Gary Hill
This is extreme metal. I’d also make the argument that it is classical music.
