Throat – We Must Leave You (Geriatric Noise Goth)

  Well this is perfect. Tis that season, right? Trees look dead. Leaves collapse as floating corpses. Grass is brown and dormant. Cold is rising and getting under the skin. Ahhh, just love it. So we need at least one Goth-styled release to make it feel complete. Unfortunately, the majority has straight up sucked until […]

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 […]

Hexvessel – Polar Veil (Dark Forest Occult Folk Rock)

  I don’t think I’ve seen many bands with as diverse a discography as Hexvessel. Billed as a variety of things such as occult folk and dark forest rock, this quartet from Finland have been crafting amazing sounds for years now, including godlike artists in their work such as Chelsea Wolfe, but even without these […]

IANAI – Sunir (Like Wow Finnish Experimental Folk)

  Like wow, what’s with all these surprises this week that I almost missed WTF? This is one of those albums were perhaps but a few seconds in you’re absolutely passing out from its level of incredible and by the end you can’t believe it actually exists. Like how does someone write music this fooking […]

Kovaa Rasvaa – Tasaluvulla Tulevaisuuteen (Can’t Translate It Finnish Hardcore Punk)

  Man I’m pretty sure this is something Google Translate is not going to get properly, so I’m not even going to embarrass myself with a translation of either one, the band’s name, or two, the album title. Let’s just let Finnish punk filth words lie as they are. The same applies to this band’s […]

Obnoxious Youth – Mouths Sewn Shut (Superdeformed Speed Metal)

Obnoxious Youth – Mouths Sewn Shut (Superdeformed Speed Metal)

  This is the kind of stuff I live to review, if you can call that living. I laugh and stare from above as the pathetic provincial sites of the world attempt to draw some sorts of band comparisons or pathetically toss out tag after stale tag in an attempt to ground their meaningless words. […]

Warsenal – Feast Your Eyes (Glass in Eyes Thrash Metal)

  Lol holy shit if Velio Josto‘s sick cover doesn’t say “yes you will like this,” then you deserve some glass to the eyes, and ears because you don’t deserve to listen either. I saw some complaints or something about the art but I won’t even bother trashing that drivel. Warsenal are a fifth-edition textbook […]

Vainaja – Verenvalaja

Vainaja – Verenvalaja

There is something in this world in need of a revival, revival in the classic sense, the religious sense. The word revival was used frequently many years ago to signify a return to religion, found typically in Christianity of the post-Catholic variety. As the world began to question the merits of the Christian faith in […]

Interview With Bog Oak (Worship the Trees With Fire)

With all of the attention doom metal gets anymore, it’s difficult to pick through the mess of wish-we-weres to find the no-one-can-defeat-uses.  But, aside from our awkwardly-worded opener, for which we apologize, deeply, the task is real, the difficulty true.  Let’s face it, when anything rises in popularity everyone starts to jump on board until the […]

Bog Oak – A Treatise On Resurrection And The Afterlife

God damn take a breath before you finish trying to say the title of this one.  It’s so blasted long there’s probably a new law that will be on the books in about ten years after it passes through the House, provided the dichotomy of idiocy up in there gets with it.  It shall thus […]
