Diabolic Oath – Oracular Hexations (Unrestrained Bestial Black Metal)
Another smasher from Sentient Ruin Laboratories, let’s start there. From there let’s move to the band, Diabolic Oath, a three-piece from Portland, Oregon, that insists on making the listener hallucinate. Oracular Hexations leaves the brain and all thoughts within it disfigured. What at first appears a dark story woven by a degenerate becomes far […]

Her Menacing Pet – The Abyss Stares Back (Threateningly Melancholic Black Ambient)
Well, I did it, I judged a band by their name, but to be fair sometimes that equals review gold, like the perennial classic, and arguably worst band name in history, Clouds Taste Satanic. Her Menacing Pet, by contrast, sounded at first read like an overwrought, melodramatic foray into the goth by a tween […]

Rabid Grannies (Horror Comedy More Like Gorror Comedy)
Get ready for more Grade-A Troma quirkiness with Vinegar Syndrome’s new release of Emmanuel Kerwyn’s Rabid Grannies. This one has been the stuff of legend ever since 1989/1990 when Troma and Media Home Entertainment released their horribly cut VHS edition. Rumors that this was an out-and-out gorefest a la Demons swirled through the underground […]

Winter Survival (You’re Cold and Psychotic Survival Horror)
Winter Survival is one of the harshest and coldest survival games, in a literal sense. You get attacked as soon as the game starts. I’m like, wait, give me a second, let me make a weapon first, take me out to dinner first before you try to attack me, lol. Developed and published by […]

Nachts – Privileg (Pre or Perhaps Post-Suicidal Black Metal)
What in the hell kind of horrid past did this guy have? I knew I was going to get more sadness out of this than I bargained for, but holy hell guy, what did life do to you?! I have a penchant for the more emotional veins of black metal, depending on how it’s […]

Caustic Phlegm – Putrefying Flesh (Putrid Intestinal Leak Death Metal)
There’s not much one needs to do to describe a band called Caustic Phlegm. They’re going to be caustic, and there’s going to be much phlegm expelled. The Xerox rot cover further exemplifies the sputum. With as short as I can be on descriptions, this release itself is short, being a reissued demo on […]

Wizordum (True Retro Fantasy FPS)
Golddang it this is sher fun. I don’t know why I started like that… But, what’s done is done and it’s time we moved on to Wizordum, indie fantasy FPS from Emberheart Games where hyuck stereotyped countryspeak doesn’t make any sense. I first got a glimpse of this one via some GIFs I saw […]
David Allen \ Full Moon Entertainment \ Full Moon Features \ sci-fi fantasy \ stop motion animation
The Primevals (The Lost Stop-Motion Sci-Fi Legend)
We can finally all rest in peace, with smiles on our faces. The story of The Primevals is long, though quite interesting. The brainchild of David Allen (RIP), known for his stop motion work on a variety of films, including the original Puppet Master (1990) and odd stints doing animation sequences for others, even […]

Mouth (Living Hole in the Ground Horror)
Did I ever think I’d read a monster story, about a hole in the ground, with layers of teeth that had different purposes, a mind of its own, and could communicate with his people by rumbling the ground? If you’d have asked me before I read this, the answer would’ve been most definitely not. […]

Scavenger – Beyond the Bells (Genre-Defining Female-Fronted Heavy Metal)
I am so sick of hearing about goddamn Savage Master. Just stfu. They’re so goddamn overrated it makes me rage to the point of quitting existence. I’m not even sure how the fandom started, but what’s the point, because by now you’re probably wondering why I’m going on a tirade about a band not […]
