Claymore – Series Review
One of the reasons our media section takes forever to add a review to is because of things like this. Anime, as most of you likely are aware, typically requires a full series watch to truly understand, especially since lots of series tank about midway and you feel like an idiot for even starting, but […]

Death Valley Driver – Carnivore’s Oath EP
Yeah, these guys. Those italics there add further meaning, and here it means they’ve been around here before, and we’re proud to have them around again. That’s because death n roll isn’t really a very pronounced genre, and there’s a reason for that. Mixing death metal grind with classic hard rock is a real challenge, since in […]

Deaf Sparrow has been around since roughly 2008 when the original editor, Hansel Merchor, created it as a way to review extreme underground music.

Lord Mantis – Death Mask
Crossing over into new territory, that’s the way it should be, that’s how you make something new. That’s how you make something striking to get the attention of people who have heard it all. Some of the best bands we’ve covered over the past few years have crossed so many boundaries there simply isn’t a […]
