Gore Tech – Futurphobia
Man, ever just want to drop some damn bass? Ever want to hear that low-end rumble pulsing through your organs and causing a hemorrhage? Ever just want to pump up that system and blow your speakers, driving around mall parking lots for some nightmare on bass street? Stalk with that bass, assault with that bass, […]

Downfall of Nur – Umbras e Forestas
Interesting that this is the first review we tackle after the birth of my (editor) daughter this past week. After weening her on dark synthwave with GosT and then giving her some classical, it was time for the full indoctrination with this sick promo sent to us from Russia. Black metal for child rearing? Yes, […]
atmospheric \ doom \ Finland \ funeral doom \ Oceanwake \ post-doom \ ViciSolum Productions \ yeah we made that up
Oceanwake – Sunless
Slower varieties of doom, those that enter the realm of the funereal, are often overlooked except by this sick, vibrant niche of freakos who find themselves content with purposefully getting jaundice and sitting in the darkness after the electricity is shut off, their bills long unpaid after hours of self-induced misery. All that remains is […]

Sewer Goddess – Painlust
If you were one of the five people who was paying attention on our Facebook page today, apparently saying the word ‘girl’ anywhere near the word ‘noise’ incites a mental riot inside those who think you’re making some trite comment about ‘girl noise’. First off, we weren’t. Second off, we know exactly what said user […]

SPLITting Headache – Buncha Metal
Well, we finally made some sense out of what we want to do with this new special feature of ours, titled, as you can see, SPLITting Headache. The problem we’ve always had with splits is that you have at least two bands, but sometimes more than that, and how do you go about reviewing that? […]
7 Degrees Records \ Abstracter \ ambient \ An Out Recordings \ black metal \ Church of Fuck \ drone \ experimental \ Fragile Branch \ gawd so many labels \ post-black metal \ Sentient Ruin Laboratories \ Shove Records \ Vendetta Records
Abstracter – Wound Empire
Boy, these guys are persistent as all hell. That’s a lot of persistence, if you didn’t know, using the word hell with anything is like ‘a lot’ but it sounds more kvlt. And this persistence clearly came from a need to purge the soul, because when we first met Abstracter almost a year ago, we […]

Rorcal / Process of Guilt – Split
It’s always difficult to decide what to do with splits. Sometimes we have a battle between bands, our own imaginary battle, and the victor gets to claim the title that results in some words posted on our site here and that’s about it. Or, we ahave a new feature called “SPLITting Headache”, but decided it […]
blackened death \ death metal \ interview \ just awesome we hardly had to ask any questions \ Sweden \ Ursurpress
Interview with Usurpress (Take My Throne If You Please)
Ah, yes, time for another interview. Always fun, aways informative, but this one in particular is the most dense in terms of information. In fact it’s likely the most detailed answers we’ve ever received, which is always a good thing. What if two hundred years from now someone wanted to know all there was about Usurpress […]
black metal \ Crowhurst \ experimental \ Ivory Antler Records \ noise \ post-black metal \ too good for words screw these tags
Crowhurst – S/T
Sometimes you look at something and you know it can’t be anything but mind-bending. You know after listening you’re not going to be the same person, you’re going to be something else and probably won’t remember anything that came prior. Who am I? How did I get here? You move your eyes around the immediate […]
