Sněť – Mokvání V Okovech (Mildewed Death Metal)

  Lol what a great name for a band. Czechia’s Sněť, which means “Mildew,” are true to their chosen title, saturated in water and stained black from years of being in a basement. That’s exactly how Mokvání V Okovech sounds, and there is little else you need for reference before you just hit start already, […]

Můra – Doom Invocations and Narcotic Rituals (Opium Addicted Death Doom)

  Lol these filthy shits. I can’t remember the last time I reviewed a Czech band but I’m not going to bother to look because these guys are all that matter at the moment. I often wish blackened metal, of any attached genre, would just slow the hell down now and then. Really does it […]

Daughter (Stab in the Daddy Heart by Daria Kashcheeva)

  Here’s one that stabs deep in the daddy heart. I love Eastern European animation. These days everyone’s about anime, and I get it, but before Japan came Eastern Europe.

Kult Ofenzivy – Nauky různic

This one needed to sit in the head awhile, but not for the usual sitting reasons.  It’s not a ‘grower’, as some say, it wasn’t something of the “different than their last one” variety, either.  This is one that to any reviewer with an affection for black metal will most likely seem to be something […]

Panychida – Grief for an Idol

Good pagan metal, where art thou?  Any time this guy right here has an urge to release the catharsis of the pagan somewhere deep in his being, he goes straight to Eastern Europe.  Partially because his roots lie there, partially because he can speak one Eastern European language and understand some others, and also partially […]
