The Evil – S/T (Non-Evil, Mask-Wearing Doom Metal)
I saw the masks and I wanted to enjoy this thoroughly. The cover, by Fernando Drowned of The Most Destructive Art, had me mask-loving, But, as it turns out I only enjoyed the music partially. There’s something less threatening about doomers wearing masks on stage than you find with blackened death metal or black […]

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K (Uber Yet Untermensch Anime)
Oh yeah anime time. Why you take so long? Unlike sites of trash, I finish a series before I review, imagine that. How can one judge an anime on one episode or one season, if there are more than one? Like video games, a few minutes is not enough. Please. You may consider, by looking […]

Construct of Lethe – Exiler (Pretentious Thesaurus Metal)
So here’s the thing, Construct of Lethe know exactly what they are doing musically. And by that, I mean they have such a refined ear for composition, recording, and compelling melody. They don’t just stop at the melodic death metal drudge and drear and are clearly interested in pushing their sound into a musically […]

SIEGE COLUMN – INFERNO DEATHPASSION (New Jersey IN THE FLESH)
I rarely specify where exactly a band is from in the US unless there’s some well-known association with a genre and particular area, city, or whatever. Also I guess that depends on state size, right? Like most people will just say Rhode Island instead of specifying a city, outside of the pretentious wonderland of […]

CASSETTE ASSAULT (Stuff I’ve Been Sitting Upon)
It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these, and that’s primarily because of a special app I’m seriously working on for the site where I can give some press to stuff I don’t review on in this way anymore. Bad art, or just ehhh releases, will all have their due eventually. Sometimes this […]

Taina – Seelenfresser (Industrial Metal Still Tries Lol)
I should have known before I started. Taina, I’m sorry, Seelenfresser was set to sprint, but it tripped immediately, shaken by the poof of the starting pistol. The 1990s are gone, friends, though we still worship them when we forget. What we tend to forget is the parts we actually aren’t nostalgic for at all. Here’s a […]

DE·TA·US·TO·AS – The Immaculate Triumvirate (Sexy Death Industrial)
The Immaculate Triumvirate by DE·TA·US·TO·AS, bedecked with the photographic mastery of Eva Paià, is not the unholy see of Roman Emperor Gods that I had let wreak havoc upon the middle ages but, rather, a duo of Catalonian shades which impart my dark wisdom upon provincials. In “As Above So Below,” the shades bring […]

Deluded Mind (First-Person Asylum Drug Romp)
My first thought on anything trying to frighten me using an asylum setting is one big looooooool I don’t feel like writing. Whoops. Deluded Mind came up rather randomly while I was searching for another scray [sic] video game to review and I have to tell you it was not the theme that drew me to […]

Butcher ABC – North of Hell (ABCs of Goregrind)
I know I’ve heard of this Japanese grind machine before, this Butcher ABC, I just can’t remember where. Then again, there are a ton of bands in Japan just like this, but this particular gathering of grind maniacs is one of the oldest. They’ve been around for almost 25 years now, and that’s an amazing […]

Vanhelga – Fredagsmys (Black Metalcholy)
Yeah this Swedish outfit has has got me crying. The sound of it turns the most pleasant disposition into a soiled, soggy mess. Plus I’m pretty depressed I haven’t heard much of Vanhelga before this moment. The name seems as though it’s somewhere in the mists of my memories, but it’s but a whisper too […]
