black metal \ electro \ Epitimia \ experimentation qua woah \ fuck put it all in there \ Hypnotic Dirge Records
Epitimia – (Un)reality
Double CD’s are a hard thing to tackle not only because the length is twice as long but because the artist often has a much broader, more complete vision of their project. Like many Hypnotic Dirge artists before them, Epitima have attempted to experiment with black metal with many other non-metal genres such as trip […]
cut it out \ no \ noise punk \ on innuendo necessary \ pervo \ T.I.T.S. \ Teenage Menopause Records
T.I.T.S. – S/T
Sorry, no, this isn’t a gratuitous review in any sense of the term. So sorry, we don’t do that kind of thing around here. We respect women as much as we respect the underground. So no T-shirts with the wetness, no butt short shots, no illicit images, not for us! And just so you know, it […]
black metal \ grimoire records \ thrashened black \ Wrought Iron \ yeah we just did that
Wrought Iron: Rejoice and Transcend
Stellar, spot on. There, review finished. We’ve been thinking about trying one-sentence reviews for some time, just haven’t decided the best approach for it yet, so bare with us as we continue to talk even though we’ve already told you what we think of this one. Grimoire Records is an on-the-rise label from out of […]
Beläten \ dark trance \ darkwave \ Michael Idehall \ post-apocalyptic avant-guarde (yeah \ take that one)
Michael Idehall: Deep Code
Here’s something you don’t see very much in underground music today, an artist that goes by their real name. If it’s not his real name, well, then this is like totally weird and probably cutting edge to somebody out there. Michael Idehall is an artist/musician (as well as other things including author) from out of […]
Evoke Efrits \ Hypnotic Dirge Records \ meh sex \ Rose get a life \ Titanic the movie without good sex
Ekove Efrits: Nowhere
Hypnotic Dirge Records from Canada likes to sign artists from all over the globe including Russia, France, Italy, Ukraine, and Germany. Ekove Efrits is an Iranian band helmed by the Count De Efrit, the ominous mastermind who has experimented with depressive black metal, Gothic metal, and trip hop, creating an eclectic selection of work. With […]
2Black \ how could you even \ just why \ metal shame \ there's no way \ why? \ worst band photo ever \ wow
The Worst Band Photo in History
No, what you see above is not the photograph in question. Keep reading for the reveal. Oh why, ghastly world of ours, why do you permit such things to exist? It’s band photos of this nature that make us question if there really is a point to it all. The answer in this case is […]
Finland \ go ahead add a bunch \ hardcore \ metal \ more genres added as you feel the need \ punk \ rock \ SCUMRISE!
SCUMRISE!: Super Hits EP
Finland has a rather vibrant underground, but most of what we’ve heard here is of the hardcore variety, for some reason. Yes, believe it or not, Finnish hardcore is a “a thing,” as it were. Why do we question your belief? Because who associates Finland with anything but trolls and poorly-written troll metal, right? Well, […]
blackness ahoy \ brutal death metal \ Chile \ fakkin kewl vocalz \ Ona language or something \ Siaskel
Siaskel: Jatenentolpen Thejin
You know, usually you see a logo that looks like a combination of sticks and sinews and you figure “oh, here we go, one of these bands,” but now and then behind the logo is a name that deserves reading, and a proper font. Siaskel has an interesting approach in concept, and usually that kind of thing […]
