Hemorrhage – Chapter One EP
How many times have we opened a review with “wow” around here? One too many, certainly, so let’s start this one out on a different note. If only we had the buzzwords to do it…at least one… What about a phrase instead? How about simply this is of the “I want to punch someone who […]

Monastery – Peculiar Storms
You ever look at something and say “yeah, this will be good”? Here is a case of that, so thank the new deities of the true arts, Seraphim House, for the opportunity to listen to such beauty. Robb, the mind behind Monastery, took the time to send an absolutely spectacular package that, upon opening the box, caused me […]

Joo Won Park & dRachEmUsiK – Side Dish Side Affect
Ah, after all this metal blasphemy and power, it’s good to sit back and think. Refreshing to run our minds over the more complex matter that surrounds us, the human being, and to try to figure out what it all means, but end up figuring out nothing and drooling into a stupor. There is quite […]

SaturninE – S/T Demo
Wait, this is a demo? There’s no way, there’s just no way. This little beauty was tucked away in a box the old editor had in his possession, and this guy, new editor, found it while digging through the dregs to find the goodies to actually review (that’s how we do it now, not everything can […]

Fistula – Vermin Prolificus
Started an interesting conversation with the guy from the distro that sent us this today about my wife’s total dedication to doing squats. Anyway, that’s private stuff, kind of like a fistula. No, not the band, but what they’re named after, which is probably the worst thing that can ever happen to the human body. […]
Blood Music \ dark synthwave \ Perturbator \ seriously last time we say this is the best ever
Perturbator – Dangerous Days
Yeah, been kind of on a kick for this type of music recently, but this is perhaps the best we’ve ever heard. Wait, didn’t we say that last week? Around here people change, it’s fact. And we can change in a week. Perturbator fits nicely into the dark synthwave genre, creating a sound similar to […]

All Torn Up! – Drone Life
What is it with bands sometimes including punctuation in their name? We’ve seen this before with hardcore, but it’s really an interesting phenomenon, and some day someone is going to need a sociology dissertation, or maybe in linguistics, so there you go, figure this one out. Or, rather, figure this one out! Not too long […]
