best noise ever duh \ harsh noise \ interview \ noise \ power electronics \ Sewer Goddess
With all the noise we’re finally getting again, it’s good to have an interview surrounding this recent proclamation of the power electronics revolution. Of course, though, you know us, we only mean the good stuff. The bad stuff, yeah, we’ll sometimes review it, but sadly noise is filled with lots of it because everyone thinks […]
Adversarial \ awesome death metal in the classical sense but yet not because it's new \ blackened death metal \ Canada \ Dark Descent Records \ death metal
Well, this band has already started off on their path of adversariness with an album title that’s probably going to break our system coding. First for its length, and if that doesn’t do it, then for its meaning. Nihilism, the rejection of principles, especially moral principles or those stemming from religion, the rejection of love, […]
Alfe \ Ann Deveria \ Envelope Collective \ experimental \ harsh noise \ hnw \ La faille \ Model for Assembl \ noise \ Phalænia \ power electronics \ so noisy you'll freak \ Vacant Fulfillment \ VFSecurities \ weez the noise
So it’s time for some of this, everyone. In the past we received a decent amount of noise promos for review, or let’s just say experimental to cover everything under the sun so no one feels like an outsider. But recently we’ve been hit with a wave of metal of the ‘blackened’ variety, or just […]
blackened \ Drown Within Records \ Italy \ LAMBS \ post-hardcore \ posted-black metal
Witness me! I’m currently a bit bitter about my butthole because I’ve had a hemorrhoid since March and when I thought I was out of this itchy butthole bleeding game, the Taco Bell poops just has to pull me back in. If you don’t know anything about hemorrhoids, I’ll enlighten you and tell you that […]
Autokrator \ black metal \ death metal \ experimental \ France \ Inferna Profundus Records \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Third Eye Temple \ totally crazy man so I have to reference Star Wars like a tool
There are certain people out there giving us a wealth of idiocy to criticize, and it’s great because we can still seem creative. Let it be known that anyone who references Star Wars in a review of any metal band, unless it’s a metal band with a focus on Star Wars, is a complete toolbox, […]
ambient \ best ambient \ dark ambient \ industrial \ Malignant Records \ only one alien reference in this review \ ritualistic \ Yen Pox
We’ve been on board with Malignant Records for a long time now. What started as a partial zine project many years ago eventually went on to become one of the modern powerhouses behind death industrial, noise, ambient, and all of those moldering genres we enjoy so much around here. So yeah, we’ve known about them […]
2methyl \ 2methylBulbe1ol \ ad noiseam \ dubstep \ electronica \ experimental \ IDM \ technology reigns supreme
We’ve been really getting slammed with black metal, post-black metal, and blackened death promos recently, and we’re not really sure the reason. Now, of course, you know us, that’s always fine in our books, in fact it’s the introduction to every one of our books: “send things of this variety.” It really says that. But […]
black metal \ Hope Drone \ live black metal \ live black metal in your house and stuff \ post-black metal \ Relapse Records \ that vocalist though what?
I hate kids at libraries. I really do. No, scratch that. I hate the parents of kids at libraries. Why? Cause they can’t fucking control their kid from knocking down a stack of books and then leaving the mess to the librarians to clean up cause we all know a suburban mother of three doesn’t […]
black metal \ blackened blackity black metal blackness \ blackened death metal \ death metal \ Italy \ Mefitic \ Nuclear War Now! Productions
This is such an awesome name for a band, even though it’s a spelling variation. Who cares? It sounds so Goddamned vile it pleases one to speak it aloud to others. To what are you listening, friend? Mefitic. To which they shirk in horror, knowing only from the staticy bile coming from your ears that […]
doom metal \ Monolord \ Riding Easy Records \ yep that's about all you can say about it
The artwork from this one is just splendid, let’s get that out now. It’s esoteric, brooding, possibly Gothic, in the classical sense, not modern, and it gives one “the feels” in its stark simplicity. We expect great things out of great art, and some bands don’t appreciate how critical a cover can be for how […]
