Frank Herbert’s Dune Sucks: Part I – Dune
Well, as you can assume, I, Arkus have been taking my time reading something. This mysterious something with irritating italics in places that don’t make sense all of the time, is all of the original Dune novels written by Frank Herbert, throwing in the parody called Doon for my final analysis. This was actually published about two years ago, but in creating the new […]

DEATHSTENCH/Trepaneringsritualen: Split LP
In the world of darkness, there are a few labels that reign supreme that we see around here frequently. One of those, Malignant Records, has sent us recently several cool pieces, including our first vinyl promo for the new hardcopy address. And here it is. First off, nothing beats a picture disc with cool artwork, […]

Double Header: Kaotoxin
Ah yes, here we go people, it’s time for two-in-one, it’s time for two for the price of one, it’s time for two in your eyes, two in your ears, two in whatever other orifice you have two of. That’s the whole purpose of the double-header, friends, we give you a quick, meaty dose of […]

Death Valley Driver: Graveyard Dead
When we first encountered these guys a year or so ago, the disc was too old to review and well, we didn’t like it much anyway. The cover was a huge WTF with some sort of skeletal Mexican wrestler holding a mic that looked more like a computer mouse and some ghost chick under his […]

Quick and Dirty Reviews
Uh oh, friends, this time it’s another one of our “Quick and Dirty Reviews” segments. Today it’s largely dirty, like most of it leans towards the “please wash me thereafter” score. Even the header image is dirty as the editor pieced it together without even seeing what it had to do with anything. Cole Olson […]

Greenhorn – The Plague Doctor’s Mask EP
Nothing beats receiving a self-released hack-job that actually ends up being…awesome. “What is this?” you wonder, as you stare at what looks like a…like a…yes that is the skull of a triceratops. Wait a minute, guys, this isn’t even a plague doctor’s mask! Okay, for once, let’s not put this aside, we said, let’s take […]

The Return of Pungent Stench (or something like it)
You know what’s great about the internet? We’ll tell you what’s great, you can connect with almost anyone you could think of if you know where to look. It’s amazing, some of us around here grew up with these guys, Pungent Stench, and at least one of us has memories of listening to Been Caught Buttering while […]

Dementia Senex – Heartworm
In a strange way, this EP is so, so, so, so refreshing. This winter has brought forth few notable releases to attention leading to a music slump of sorts. This is a light in the darkness. Heartworm is three tracks long clocking a little over 17 minutes and combines death metal, sludge, and post-hardcore into a fearsome […]
