Maris Anguis – Infernal Reign (Black Ambient Soul Purge)

Maris Anguis – Infernal Reign (Black Ambient Soul Purge)

  There’s good ambient, and there’s bad ambient, regardless of subgenre. There is no middle. The reason is simple. The artist is either skilled at making music, or merely holds keys on a keyboard. I’ve said this a bagillkillion times. Here we have something even beyond the usual skill, though, something of darkly mythic potential. […]

Vorare – The Drainage Rituals (Dark Industrial Auricular Violation)

  Another late entry into the review pile be this one, which I only decided to cover because I so rarely get good experimental stuff. Hell, I can’t even remember the last time I received any at all! But, anyway, what makes good experimental good? It’s rather simple, but perhaps we should start with what […]

Fetters – S/T

Ah, how long it’s been since I heard some death industrial that did my body bad. But I’m running out of analogies, and also ways of self-deprecating as a form of humor and not-so-clever criticism, because I’ve said that too. So how can this be any different? How can a band making reference to binding […]

Aderlating – Hell Follows

One has to wonder if composers from the classical period were alive, what exactly would they be doing?  If they were born in the modern era, where would they be today?  What kind of music would they be making?  Avoid things of the popular, its analogies are fruitless, because in spite of what that music […]

Sewer Goddess – Painlust

If you were one of the five people who was paying attention on our Facebook page today, apparently saying the word ‘girl’ anywhere near the word ‘noise’ incites a mental riot inside those who think you’re making some trite comment about ‘girl noise’.  First off, we weren’t.  Second off, we know exactly what said user […]

KSKNP – Death Instruktions

There are several superficially clever phrases that come to mind when trying to properly pronounce Kerrstillingskozletskynyströmpetrus, all of which fail miserably if that idiosyncratic wording passed your attention ungathered.  This particular manifestation of death industrial is actually the latest work of Peter Nyström, Stephen Petrus, Robert Kozletsky, Larry Kerr ,and John Stillings.  All rather seasoned death-sound mechanisc who’ve done […]

IRM – Closure

Ahhh, the sweet sound of corrupted metal and acid-degraded vocals.  It’s been awhile since we delved into dark industrial/noise, or post-industrial if you prefer, and if there’s any label to do it with, it’s Malignant Records.  We really wish we knew what ‘IRM’ stood for, and we’re not going to take a chance, because it’s […]

Theologian – Some Things Have To Be Endured (LP Edition)

It’s time for some of The Blast (our ‘hey there buddy’ nickname for Crucial Blast), perhaps one of the most underrated underground labels currently, with powerhouses like Gnaw Their Tongues under the belt, bursting at the seams.  Theologian is relatively new in the scene of death industrial, though that tag doesn’t necessarily describe him.  In […]

Interview with Trepaneringsritualen (Breathe, Then Die)

We’ve been on such a dark kick recently.  We like it dark, darker than Goth, darker than black metal.  So dark we tread places few will go because you’ll be tagged as ‘outsider’ by anyone.  No one will accept you, everyone will fear you.  One of our more recent listens involved an awesome piece submitted […]

DEATHSTENCH/Trepaneringsritualen: Split LP

In the world of darkness, there are a few labels that reign supreme that we see around here frequently.  One of those, Malignant Records, has sent us recently several cool pieces, including our first vinyl promo for the new hardcopy address.  And here it is.  First off, nothing beats a picture disc with cool artwork, […]
