Venowl: Patterns of Failure (Remaster)
Music is an expression of self often used to convey stories and feelings to, in a sense, inspire the listener. Most music is short and catchy with great hooks and emotional expressions that the listener relates to or at least enjoys hearing. However, there’s a small percentage that should simply be reduced to an art performance. […]

Entrance Into the PORTAL Hath Been Granted (Interview)
Portal, the presence, the power, the entity. But what is it? What are they? And what is this? An interview? Of course not, we don’t waste much time with that unless it hasn’t been done, that’s why the title has ‘interview’ in parenthesis. Deaf Sparrow knows, we know, the Portal has been opened many […]

Traktoroth: Post Nuclear Boogie EP
Man sometimes Eastern Europe just gets it right, right in the kisser. Sorry, that’s all we had on hand by way of clever introductions. Many have argued that said part of the world is roughly ten years behind everyone else culturally, but it’s pretty rude. There’s no lack of style over there, easily proven via […]
free death jazz \ Period \ public eyesore \ something like that \ that's all we got \ we don't know
Period: 2
God damn, son, this is good. There’s something naturally frightening about free death jazz (we just made that up) if it’s done right, suffice to say this is done right. Public Eyesore is a wonderful label run basically by one guy that’s been dishing out some incredible releases over the years. The genius of Bryan […]

303 Committee: Conquest
This is a dip into darkness so deep it’s virtually impossible to expel yourself from it. Inam Records has been encountered several times around here, such as the legendary drone master Sujo, but there’s very little information out there about 303 Committee and that’s about as elite as it could possibly get. To listen to […]

Cassette Assault! No Visible Scars
It’s a…..cassette assault! That’s a new thing for us around here. We get a bunch of cassettes from a single label, or band, and we have at it, firing that beautiful celluloid like so many bullets, filling your corpse with the notations of sweet, hissing tape through a blown-speaker Magnavox. Take it like a champ! […]

Anathema: Distant Satellites
There really shouldn’t be an introduction to Anathema – a band who’s been experimenting with rock and metal since 19-fucking-90. Their 2012 release Weather Systems won great praise from critics and currently holds an average of 90% from six reviews on Metal-archives.com. Shit, with Distant Satellites being their 12th release, you would think they would run out […]

The Witch Who Came from the Sea (VHS)
Wow, here’s a pile of mutated, rotting, festering, very-bad-smelling human fluid and waste products. Let’s get something straight around here. I love bad movies, love em. And there’s no sense in arguing why, because if you’re reading this, you’ve been there too. The troubling filming techniques, the poorly articulated dialog, the horrid acting, the ridiculous […]

Scaredycat: run.
Wife was stoked about this. Why? Sticker. We need stickers for our scooter. Unfortunately, this sticker is not being placed there, at least not yet. Why? Because I was stoked too, but cold water was tossed all over my naked body. Nothing beats some good spazz, and yep, not only the promo sheet says it, […]

Abstractive Noise: of the Adder’s Bite
Now and then we receive something so mind-blowingly spectacular it takes us too long to write the review. Why? Because words escape us. We can tear apart the most pathetic of albums with little effort, we can gum profusely the awesomness of post-black metal, but when we face something like this, our words are mere […]
