Press JAXX; Springfield, VA; H-HOUR Live, 06/17/00 With the recent closing of Phantasmagoria it appears that JAXX will be getting the lion's share of metal shows in the near future in the Washington, D.C. area. It's nice to know that a venue is still willing to provide an outlet for the metal market to play here in the mid-Atlantic.  H-Hour, a Washington, D.C.-based quartet, got things rolling with a set that covered quite a few areas of the metal spectrum. In the early stages, I got the feeling that H-Hour was a death metal band with serious doom influences. As the band kept playing there was a slight groove element apparent in the music too - not the radio-friendly groove that's so in vogue, but a rather metallic groove fitting of later-era thrash. Standout songs included "Mission Of Mercy" and "Zero Pulse". H-Hour shows promise - it should be interesting to see what this band has to offer in the years to come.Reviewed by Christopher J.
