Folian – Blue Mirror (Shoegaze Ouroboros)

Folian – Blue Mirror (Shoegaze Ouroboros)

  Folian speaks volumes about dreaminess. I mean there’s a drowned or languid body on the cover floating in or washed up from the sea with hair twisted about the fingers. That alone makes you stare down at your shoes so far you turn in on yourself like an ouroboros. Talk about deep thoughts. Well, […]

Cassette Assault – Some Stuff That’s Good

Now listen, you might think I’m lazy, and I get that, but this is a one-man show currently and I have to make sure you get your money’s worth. Yes, you’re not paying for anything, but if you think about it you’re using some bandwidth or data of some sort, and that costs somebody something, […]

DRIFT. – Black Devotion EP

A welcome release from the pain of banal musicians.  So long have I dealt in things dark, yet constantly weak in the sense of suck. So typical for extreme music, rely on aggression.  Must the dark always be as such?  No, sometimes delicacy is needed, something ethereal and frail.  Like a gaunt bride under a […]

Vukari – En to Pan

In spite of how difficult this is going to be for you to believe, we do, at times, make mistakes.  In research, no, never (or we hide it before you notice).  This is a different type of a mistake.  This is a “where did I put that?” mistake.  This is a “wait a minute what […]

Australasia – notturno

There’s a certain power in experience, in all of those things one encounters throughout life, inevitably leading on a path to becoming an amateur, then perhaps expert.  Between the amateur and the expert is a land of ruin, it’s far better to think you know what you’re talking about than to almost know.  You, of […]

Reverie – Bliss

Sometimes you have to wonder who selects the genre tags on Encyclopaedia Metallum.  Is it the bands themselves or some random fools?  Seriously, we’d like to know, because we’ve never had to do such a thing ourselves, so not knowing we’d like an explanation.  The primary reason is it often seems so very wrong upon […]

Plebeian Grandstand – Lowgazers

I’ve been out of the reviewing game for a long time and it is because of this album. My first few listens deemed this album as just a mess. I couldn’t understand why anyone would enjoy it. It felt like a chaotic Japanese public orgy where everything was blurred out or covered in KY (minus the […]

Jessica93 – Rise

Goth night.  Let’s all hide in the corners and stare at our sneakers whilst viewing the more courageous of dark dwellers engaging in the dance of Goth, faces painted, hair dyed in deep colors, chains around their necks, fishnets down to heels, let us watch.  Let us brood about all things that require pills, and […]
