Worship: Ivory Crux – Sexual Bones and Oils
It’s been awhile since we’ve engaged in worship, which means articles reserved for the best of bands, musicians, and artists who deserve to be drawn from the pits. That’s my clever thing there, yeah. I first decided to do these because I noticed visual masters of the underground are often ignored, even though their […]

Altar of Perversion – Intra Naos (Biblical Black Metal)
Jesus Son of God and the Holy Virgin with the Spirit be praised. See that cool harpy angel by Denis Forkas Kostromitin? I don’t have a lead for that, so just get ready to open those Old and New Testaments, because Italy’s Altar of Perversion are here to write a fooking Bible. You think I’m […]

Lychgate – The Contagion in Nine Steps (Scholarly Metal)
Nice, that cover by the totally unknown Michael Guy is the perfect lead-in because I’ve been waiting to use the word ‘scholarly’ in reference to metal so I can feel like I’m above everyone else. Actually I already have presented myself as such, but this makes it official, and I should get an honorary […]

Horns of Fear (Old School Horror Puzzle Freak Out)
Boy do I ever remember games like this. When my family finally got a legit computer in the early 1990s, the first game I played on it was The 7th Guest, which you likely know. I won’t even bother linking it because you’re a total provincial if you don’t know about it. Suffice to say, if the […]

Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth (Industrial of Blah)
This is one of those releases I give multiple listens to, because once or even thrice is simply not enough. Not because I’m so below it, I simply need to allow my mind time to decide whether or not it deserves ‘canon’ status. Answer: this does not. Usually when I start like that it […]

Our Place of Worship is Silence – With Inexorable Suffering (Already Out of Space)
You know when the band’s name and album title have taken up nearly your entire post title and take more than a minute to write it’s not going to be good. It just reeks of that sticky, foul kind of pretentiousness that ruins far too many bands. Note to those who dare tread this path, if […]

Mob Psycho 100 (Best Anime of All Time Fight Me IRL)
It can be so hard to find good anime. Well, I take that back, it’s probably true that most anime is good since it breaks with the stale conventions of American and European media, but there’s just so damn much of it. Who has the time to go through a series with like 500+ episodes? Not me, […]

Schrat – Alptraumgänger (Wow 100% German Black Metal)
Man, great art, yeah, love Misanthropic Art. And this is one of the more clever RPG terms-turned-band-name I’ve seen. WTF you talking about, asks the band. The closest translation in English we have of Schrat is “bugbear,” you know, that thing from Dungeons & Dragons? Yeah, I get it, it’s old folklore and such, but […]

Reverorum ib Malacht – Im Ra Distare (STFU Title’s Too Long)
I’m, so sick of the hype surrounding this album and I’m going to be as brief as possible, but trust me, it’s goddamn hard not to go off. Practically the only reason I’m reviewing it is because people just can’t STFU about it. I don’t even really like the cover. Oh, wow, some anti-Christian […]

Inisans – Transition (F It Metal)
I have no idea what in the world Inisans means, and I don’t care. Don’t bother searching, either, because nothing will help you, trust me. I have skills man, don’t bother I did it already. So I don’t care, there’s no reason to care, and Google can F off about asking me whether I meant […]
