black metal \ Boston \ God save me I cannot control my agony \ magic bullet records \ Negative Fun Records \ Patac Records \ sludge \ Wormwood
Christmas has decayed away, it has fallen into the snow, crushed underfoot, ground into muddied mush speckled with blood. Ahead the New Year approaches, and with it thousands upon millions of lies erupt from the maws of the damned, those sniveling wooden robots of society that drag their feet, make their purchases, make their promises, […]
butchered by Santa \ Christmas Evil \ film \ horror \ John Waters \ movie \ Silent Night Deadly Night \ slasher \ VHS
As of this writing, it’s December 25th and my Christmas celebration began with a domestic squabble with my on-again/off-again domestic partner. Things got uglier and fists got introduced into the equation. Like a gentleman (or a coward who realizes that a ‘Domestic Violence’ rap is not going to look very appealing to my newly-found corporate […]
cast me into oblivion my love \ doom metal \ Evadne \ funeral doom \ Spain
In the world of doom metal, it’s pretty simple to categorize any one band, in fact many of them sound so similar furthering delineating by way of another adjective is often fruitless, or better to say delusional. However, if there’s one clear derivation in the genre, it’s funeral doom. You’ve probably already heard of the […]
death n roll \ Death Valley Driver \ Diminished Fifth Records \ interview \ Metallica come on dudes WTF \ sludge metal
Usually we waste most of your time for this interviews with an intro that pretty much doesn’t even need to be here, so let’s keep it short today. We’ve been slamming with Death Valley Driver for a solid year almost, watching them grow from some dudes to dudes we wish lived nearby. May we come […]
black metal \ crust \ cup cozy \ death metal \ Horde of the Eclipse \ sloth herder \ split of awesome \ Unholy Anarchy Records
Let’s give ourselves a splitting headache. Are you ready to understand what it’s like to have split-personality disorder? Can we think of any other clever usages of the word ‘split’ that doesn’t involve a direct understanding of the term in relationship to music? No, it stops right here, right now. Now we get to being serious. […]
black metal \ blackened deathened trashened metal \ blackened thrash \ death metal \ Invictus Productions \ Ireland \ Zom
Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Ever just want to do that? Ever just want to scream the scream of sacrilegious pleasure when you come across something so absolutely filthy, so disgustingly, awfully corrupt it defines your entire existence as a thing of the soil? You worm, do you not know of Zom? Zom come from Ireland and their sound […]

Been awhile since we did one of these. So for those of you who missed out on our last one, let’s explain before we begin, because this is a lot of reading, and it should be because it’s a lot of work, thus the title of this feature. Compilation Dissertation is where we give a […]
agonia records \ Centinex \ death metal \ like that's it dude serious it's just straight death metal
This was a day when we wanted to feel manly, or womanly. It was a day to break down gender barriers, to enter a world where everyone can be beast and the image is not restricted to false presentations in the media. This is that day. This is the day when you toss things around […]
blood red destiny \ crucial blast \ dark industrial \ darkwave \ experimental \ noise \ Theologian
It’s time for some of The Blast (our ‘hey there buddy’ nickname for Crucial Blast), perhaps one of the most underrated underground labels currently, with powerhouses like Gnaw Their Tongues under the belt, bursting at the seams. Theologian is relatively new in the scene of death industrial, though that tag doesn’t necessarily describe him. In […]
A Scar for the Wicked \ cority coreness \ deathcore \ DistortHead \ metalcore \ Silver Wing Studios \ VS
It’s time for a challenge. Time for a battle where only one can remain, crowned the victor of a meaningless Deaf Sparrow award that doesn’t even exist in any physical form. At times we review two things at once, we’ve done it before. Two albums, same band, or perhaps two albums same label. But then […]
