Magick (NSFW Magic Demon Brothel Horror)
Anyone who’s read my reviews knows how highly I rate Judith Sonnet. Not only an amazing person, but an absolute prolific writer who sends out banger after banger into the universe. Magick was written in 10 days, and to me that just tells you how amazing a writer must be when 10 days worth […]

Evil Dead Trap / 死霊の罠 (Experimental J-Horror Slasher)
Here’s a good one, but not for reasons you’d likely guess. Having heard the legends of the “Evil Dead Trap Trilogy” (is it really though?), I was always curious about them, but not until I learned that 88 Films was doing their own Blu-ray drop of the first and second did I decide I […]

Mourners Lament – A Grey Farewell (Loss-Ridden Symphonic Funeral Doom)
I needed some deep-seated, depressive power this week. Not sure why that was, but be it as it may, here we have another Chilean masterwork to satiate that inner desire. What’s going on in Chile, I ask? I keep getting masterpieces of practically every metal genre flowing out of the country, and add to […]

L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres – Funesta Epifania (Metaphyiscally Epic Dark Dungeon Synth)
Big band name equals big ideas. So says Catalonia’s L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres (damn, super long), who summon up the spirits of their ancestors in an effort to create epic, dark dungeon synth with their debut, Funesta Epifania. Clashing swords in the dark mountains with the sun behind them, can this […]

Defacement – Duality (Blackened Experimental Blackened Black Metal)
You just know with some things. You just know with some people. You just know with some books. You just know with some bands. This is a “I just know” example, Duality, the latest from Netherlands’ Defacement. Dutch metal can be goddamn weird at times, to the level that it becomes its own genre. […]

Acid Mass – Worship (Death Biker Blackened Thrash)
Practically everything I could want out of blackened and or death and or speed thrash is present herein. Creepy skeleton, bleedy knife, big eyeball, skeleton priest, pentagram necklace, cobra, some other snakey, forbidden tomb (with spiderwebs), chains in logo; yes this is just the kind of stuff I’d like to Worship. Attitude can really […]

Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire (Nerve-Destroying Vampire Horror Puzzle Quest)
Let me start with the obvious. This is a perfect game. In every way conceivable, and I’m ignoring one little bug that can sometimes occur. Hey man, I thought that’s the plague with modern games, the lack of polishing? If there’s a bug, how can it be perfect? First off, people forget how many […]

Nightmare Beach (Spring Breaker Motorcycle Slasher)
What better genre for Italian sleaze director Umberto Lenzi to try his hand in than the slasher? With success in creating some of the more notorious films of the 1970s and 1980s, including controversial Cannibal Ferox, part of the cannibal film boom, he already had, actually, with Eyeball (1975). Here, according to Lenzi originally, […]

Intolerance – Waking Nightmares of an Endless Void (Sorrowful Death Metal)
There’s a lot to impress upon the soul here, and it’s times like these I can appreciate the different direction some bands take in overly saturated genres. Spain’s Intolerance may have sadly picked a name already claimed by like ten other metal bands (Jesus Christ), but perhaps they can end up being the Intolerance […]

Squid Pisser – Dreams of Puke (Niche Bullied Child Powerviolence)
I wasn’t going to review this initially, but not because I didn’t like it. I did. The issue was I got the damn thing like a week after release, and I normally skip anything past release date except in rare cases. Here’s another one. Plus, most of what I got for review for this […]
