Luring – Triumphant Fall of the Malignant Christ (Phantasmal Atmospheric Black Metal)

  Ahhhh breathe in that atmosphere. I’ve honed my tastes over the past few years and this is proof. Actually, make that a decade or longer. Fact is I receive so much stuff I’ve heard practically everything imaginable. And I’ve said it a number of times, black metal can rarely wake me up, let alone […]

Cultic – Of Fire and Sorcery (Dungeon Death Doom)

  I believe someone already said it in another review, or perhaps more than one individual, but regardless let me reiterate; this is probably going to be one of the top five releases of the year. Actually make that likely top one. Definitely one of the best of the decade. Get it? Cultic has sloughed […]

Executioner’s Mask – Despair Anthems (A Timeline of Goth)

  A fine week this has been. Nearly every genre of the dark fells into my hands, and even some brutal death rap by a sexually extreme queen of hell. So I figured we’d end it on a sad note, a tenderly painful memory of the week the most reviews were ever done at Deaf […]

  Let’s finish off my choice cuts in music this week with some rotting death metal. Angry, masculine vocals, visions of torment, riffs that sound like new songs the second way through (even though there are only four tracks), etc. There’s no better way to unwind, now and then. Like a mutually-agreed-upon backyard boxing match, […]

Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth (Industrial of Blah)

  This is one of those releases I give multiple listens to, because once or even thrice is simply not enough. Not because I’m so below it, I simply need to allow my mind time to decide whether or not it deserves ‘canon’ status. Answer: this does not. Usually when I start like that it […]

Interview with The Teeth (Not Those Indie Guys)

With all the post-hardcore and hardcore mess we tend to receive around here, it was inevitable that we at Deaf Sparrow would receive a submission from a band that was one, not French, and two, good.  That would be The Teeth, whose second full-length we reviewed a few weeks ago.  With a new tour coming […]
