Bog Oak \ doom metal \ interview \ is it bad I want to worship trees now? \ Svart Records
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 […]
atmospheric \ doom metal \ funeral doom \ melodic \ too good for English words \ Ukraine \ Квітів Знедолених Берегів
Квітів Знедолених Берегів – За небокрай мрій
We’ve encountered a wonderfully diverse form of two types of metal from Eastern Europe over the past few years, in particular coming from Russia and the Ukraine. Folk metal of the pagan variety, and doom metal, the latter often delivered to us by Russian-born Solitude Productions. We could go off on a number of bands, […]
Bastinado \ blackened \ Finland \ grind \ grindcore \ no flamewar please \ not hardcore
Bastinado – Worship Fetish
When this one first came in we didn’t think much of it, in fact we did a check on the internet and came up with some weirdo dance/house duo that plays with blocks and ripped off Oogie Boogie’s face from The Nightmare Before Christmas for a live set. Seriously, click on that link and explore. “Groan…really,” […]
black metal \ blackened death metal \ Invictus Productions \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ less is more \ Sepulchral Temple
Sepulchral Temple – S/T EP
Well these guys have just come out of nowhere, but hopefully they don’t return there. Sepulchral Temple are a mystery. Their website is currently inactive (not to mention built with, blah, Wix), and in spite of having only a small number of Facebook fans they managed to snag both Invictus Productions and Iron Bonehead Productions […]
Hidden Temple Records \ psychedelic \ Rolling Through the Universe \ sludge \ space man like totally ride a comet
Rolling Through the Universe – Machines in the Sky
Rolling Through the Universe might be most misleading band name of all time (barring Sluts Who Will Literally Come To Your House and Suck Your Cock For Free… nothing but lies, subterfuge and restraining orders there, believe me). Sound unheard, the name Rolling Through the Universe conjures a leisurely stroll past the pillars of creation, […]
ad noiseam \ breakcore \ creepo dog art \ electronica \ IDM \ Igorrr \ Ruby My Dear
Igorrr / Ruby My Dear – Maigre
If there was any label we’d trust with a collab, it would be Ad Noiseam, but we were hesitant about this one. Simply because in the past year we changed direction to focus primarily on bands and labels with low exposure. Igorrr, well, if you haven’t heard of him, don’t figure you can call yourself […]
atmospheric black metal \ black metal \ Bloody Mountain Records \ so raw you'll freak buddeeee \ Sxuperion
Sxuperion – Through Cosmic Corridors
We’ve had a lot of high-production black metal recently, quite good, but how about something raw, eh? Been awhile since we took a piece of flesh off of the side of a cow and just chewed on it, no salt even. Not even a fork or knife, we’ll tear at it with our fingers and […]
Fysisk Format \ MoE \ noise rock \ Norway \ true noise rock no assumptions
MoE – 3
You know, there was this one time we received the then newest full-length by the much-hyped Årabrot, who even makes sure on their own site you know they’ve been “ridiculed and ignored by the press” and hated by the “glossy black metal establishment” in their home country of Norway. Having actually reviewed their 2010 release Revenge, we can […]
Blood Music \ dark synthwave \ Gost \ skull mask is cool
Interview With GosT (Baalberith Has Arisen)
One of the great things about running a site like this is getting to know some of the bands, such as our interview with Perturbator from last October. But that’s basic, that’s not all we mean. It’s not just the fact that you speak to them on a more personal level, it’s that from there […]
black metal as you need it as you want it \ Doombringer \ Malignant Voices \ Nuclear War Now! Productions \ Poland
Doombringer – The Grand Sabbath
It’s amazing how many idiotic reviewers, zines, and joke sites are out there these days. It’s practically a pandemic of Buzzfeed-styled click-attacks, tag lists of bullshit, and further a lack of proper research. With the power of the internet, really, is it so hard to study before you write? Doombringer are a Polish black metal […]
