Vulture – Sentinels (Retro Speed Thrash Metal Screaming from the Pulpit)
Great example here of a band evolving over the course of its career into something greater. Germany’s Vulture are still relatively new to the whole retro thrash (with some speed) scene, but in that short time they’ve learned how to hone their craft, constantly reworking and revising before release, becoming a general force in […]

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 […]

Seltsame Erden – Gedankentempeln (Hauntingly Mystical Black Metal)
I decided on three music reviews this week, can you believe it? They must be pretty damn good then! Truth. As I go through more and more promos over the years I feel like my mind demands things to be more clever. And with good reason; there are far too many acts doing things […]

The Moth – Frost (Sludge Doom Pop)
What’s with all this tastiness I’ve been receiving recently? Went through a big glut of metal for awhile and suddenly I’ve been seeing stuff from genres outside of the usual darkness. Sludge doom pop? Yeah, I’ll take that, I need that. Gawsh. I’ve sampled their work before, but their latest, Frost, is a dip […]

Maggot Heart – Hunger (Primal Prophetic Post-Punk)
I’ve seen a lot of bands defined as “defying categorization,” a bit ironic, yes, but usually also more than a bit wrong. Oftentimes such phraseology is used as an attempt to sell something from the musical bargain bin. That wretched state of existence where everything you never heard of dwells and attempts to scream […]

Baxaxaxa – De Vermis Mysteriis (Cleaner and Meaner Anguished Black Metal)
Goddamn it I just love Baxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaaaa but man I just can’t spell their name right still! I reviewed these guys before and it’s still a goddamn problem! Jeez! I have to check it or cut-and-paste every…single…time. Well, if anything, at least they’re back with another full-length instead of dipping back into obscure mists, and, […]

Porta Nigra – Weltende (Fin de siècle Black Metal)
Is there another way to say “this one blew me away?” Well that rhymed so start with that, I suppose. No, I shall not! I shall not! Now and again a promo is so accurate in its description of a band it’s immediately obvious you’re about to hit upon something unique. Focusing on fin […]

Rotpit – Let There Be Rot (Flippant Rotted Death Metal)
This is such a lovable type of band. When someone doesn’t give a shit and so clearly wallows in simplicity for the sake of it, I just have to hand out a hug. A deep embrace just to say “thank you, thank you for keeping it stupid.” It’s even more important here, because these […]
Alvar Baptist \ blackened crust \ Germany \ Giessen \ Hesse \ Lifeforce Records
Depravation – IV:LETVM (Such a Good German Blackened Crust)
Yesssssss. Gimmie some of that blackened crust yo. This might be a first actually… A first in the sense of this site reviewing such a band, and a first in the sense of such a band being such a good. It might seem like an easy formula since crust is close to death metal […]

Jade – The Pacification of Death (Good Old Atmospheric Death Metal)
Dang I forgot to review this before I went on a little old trip. Oh well, it still deserves it then or now so I’ll ignore my usual rule of rarely review after release date for good old Jade. What a bunch of good old guys, playing that atmospheric death metal that makes me […]
