Kapitan Korsakov: stuff & such

Kapitan Korsakov: stuff & such

Damn it, not again!  Not again!!!  You see, you look at the poorly Shooped (that means Photoshopped) cover, and you immediately write it off.  “Wow, nice, someone got the free download version of CS or something, that’s nice, next!“, you say to yourself, and come back to it as you get to the bottom of the […]

Bent Left: Fabergé

Bent Left: Fabergé

Usually we don’t get this type of punk around here, the more classic variety, minus the street, studs, mohawks, and inane, High School political references as they toss vegan zines in your face and demand you stop washing your hair and eat Chik’n Quorn patties.  Bent Left come from Kansas City and have been playing […]

Sloth Herder: Abandon Pop Sensibility

Sloth Herder: Abandon Pop Sensibility

Funny story about Frederick, MD.  The reviewer who is penning this review here happens to be doing research for a novel partially based on a true story, part of which involves a man shooting his wife through the heart, who was originally from Frederick, like really, that part’s completely true.  After he killed her, and […]

Forgotten Tomb: …And Don’t Deliver Us From Evil

One day, while looking for some depressing, suicidal, angst-spewing black metal, came across the name of Forgotten Tomb.  A tomb that is forgotten?  Does it get any more forlorn?  It would have to be both depressing and good, correct?  Yes, or make that more like yeeeeessssssss, well most of it.  …And Don’t Deliver Us From Evil marks […]

Torrid Husk: Caesious

Torrid Husk’s Caesious has every marking of mundane, and it doesn’t really make an effort to hide the fact.  The illegible, tree-like logo, the white, snowy, atmospheric artwork, it all screams ‘Weakling’, and you assume you’re most likely in for a treat of overrated black metal made by people who shouldn’t be anywhere near black […]

Czar: No One Is Alone If No One Is Alive

Czar: No One Is Alone If No One Is Alive

Jason Novak is the Rodney Dangerfield of the Chicago industrial scene. Mention Acumen Nation to most fans of either extreme metal or industrial rock, and chances are good no one’s heard of them, and if they have they, they tend to have very polarised opinions about them. This is mostly due to the fact that […]

Le Réveil Des Tropiques: S/T

Le Réveil Des Tropiques: S/T

Dat old lady…  Really need to get her out of the head there, please, for the love of God…  This one really makes you wonder what in the world you’re in for at first glance, coming in a bi-fold slipcase with two discs, an inner, distorted picture of some sort of resort on a beach, the […]

Zgard: Reclusion

Think about the trip this one took, it’s kind of like the album art.  Coming from the cold wastes of the Ukraine, all the way to little old us.  Think how people communicated a hundred years ago, what will they do a hundred from now?  And why in the hell are we wasting your time […]
