She Spread Sorrow – Rumspringa
RUMSPRINGA. It’s a funny word. It is also an Amish term of Pennsylvania-German origin for adolescents and their rebellious behavior in defying parental or community norms. In some communities, this is considered an unofficial rite of passage for Amish youth (courtesy of Wikipedia, our lord and redeemer). So how does this tie in to She […]
Cinis \ classically trained classically awesome \ death metal \ Murdher Records \ Old Temple \ Poland \ Technical Death Metal
Cinis – Subterranean Antiquity
Death metal, how does it survive? Why do we ask that question is likely your own question right now, but it’s quite easy to answer. We ask because the number of similar bands out there is astounding, at times, and it grows every month. But if they’re all so similar, how can that be? Well, […]

Concatenatus – Meditation Through the Inner Vortex
Now here’s something we needed. We were kind of in the mood to feel ultra-elitist, to sound like that friend you hate, the one who pulls out dozens of band names you’ve never heard, all in response to your asking simple questions about a genre or whilst discussing a band. “I like Belphegor, they’re pretty […]
beyond both of those to the point of WTF YES YES YES \ black metal \ France \ Plebeian Grandstand \ shoegaze \ Throatruiner Records
Plebeian Grandstand – Lowgazers
I’ve been out of the reviewing game for a long time and it is because of this album. My first few listens deemed this album as just a mess. I couldn’t understand why anyone would enjoy it. It felt like a chaotic Japanese public orgy where everything was blurred out or covered in KY (minus the […]
doom metal \ funeral \ Goth \ Gothic \ Hypnotic Dirge Records \ Orphans of Dusk \ so blissfully depressing \ Solitude Productions
Orphans of Dusk – Revenant
Ah, Solitude Productions, what good can’t we say? Without wasting too much time, it’s enough to simply state that when you see the logo or hear the name, you know it has to do with doom metal. Hypnotic Dirge Records, hey, what can’t we say about them as well? Though not known strictly for doom, […]
Eye of Nix – Moros
See, this is what we like, people. Let’s explain something here tangentially before even getting into the review. When a band takes the time to send us something on vinyl, cassette, CD-R, floppy disc, we don’t care, we appreciate it. Why ? Because it shows the band cares about their work enough to put some money […]
Abusiveness \ Arachnophobia Records \ best pagan like ever or something \ black metal \ pagan metal \ Poland
Abusiveness – Bramy Nawii
Well this has been a week of Eastern Europe, hasn’t it? In fact, we have a backlog of tons of stuff from the region, especially Poland. Poland is an interesting bridge, as it were, between the East and the West. Though Eastern Europe was once considered part of Europe long ago, now it’s still considered […]
dark folk \ folk \ Goth \ Infinite Fog Productions \ occult \ occult rock \ post-punk \ Russia \ so Russian you'll with you were Russian \ Srub \ Сруб
Сруб (Srub) – Топь (Bog)
Here’s one that takes careful consideration, due primarily to the cultural background behind it, of which few would be aware outside of its home country. Eastern Europe often receives a great of the west’s insensitivity, primarily because so few understand anything of its history. Remember World War I? Yeah, read about Apis and learn a […]
all metal \ black metal \ Chaos Echoes \ death metal \ France \ no metal \ Nuclear War Now! Productions \ this is like its own thing man
Chaos Echoes – Transient
Now it’s time to take things to the level where few can reach. The hands of most are weak, their joints feeble, they lack the inner strength to pull themselves up from the middle of the giant web of metal into realms of pure chaos. Upon these upper, silken strands things are much different, all […]
cassette \ China \ noise \ so elite you'll freak \ Torturing Nurse
Torturing Nurse – Crumble (Cassette)
Here it is folks, our first official release for Deaf Sparrow. After taking control of the site I, editor, had been debating combining my old label Mind Flare Media with the present media criticism the site’s always been known for, and this is the final step into the fuuuutttuureeee. Mind Flare Media was a small, independent […]
