cassette \ death metal \ sludge metal \ Sweden \ Usurpress \ wow rare as fook
Well, it’s been some time in the making now, mainly because one of the factories we work with was taking forever to get back to us Jesus Christ. But, that’s all passed now and we’re cool, we’re cool. Anyway, we’ve been chatting with the guys from Usurpress for several months now, after reviewing Ordained and then shortly […]
black metal \ Chaos Echoes \ death metal \ experimental metal \ France \ interview \ Nuclear War Now! Productions \ tags are not purity
In our selection of only the finest, most bizarre, and most darkened of music, we sometimes find it pertinent to interview what we consider the best. Those of the underground sometimes rejected by the vpper crvst for being so against the grain their skin is rubbed raw to the underlayer. A fine film of blood […]
Angel Marcloid \ Annihilvs Power Electronix \ Bestiarie \ Corephallism \ Esquelas \ Fire-Toolz \ harsh noise \ hnw \ Lascivious Aesthetics \ noise \ Pregnant Spore \ Rainbow Bridge Recordings \ Shane Broderick \ Spain \ Storm of Noise \ Whorid
We’re back, it’s the second coming, or better yet, the second offensive. Due to the huge glut of metal we receive in terms of promotional material, we conceived of a special noise-only feature a few months ago to give the best artists some exposure. This is the second appearance of it after a strong showing the […]
Altarage \ Bilbao \ blackened death metal \ death metal \ Doomentia Records \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Sentient Ruin Laboratories \ Sol Y Nieve \ Spain
Oh how we dread our submissions, oh how we loathe the endless messages, the letters (yes some people still write those), the pages upon pages of words soon forgotten in this escapist novel we turn called email. The density can be overwhelming, never-ending, so repetitive it’s scarcely possible to give more than a moment to […]
Against All Odds Productions \ BDSM \ grind \ grindcore \ Pink Mass \ total sex fest
We went on a bit of a tirade against grindcore on Facebook the other day, and it was justified. Grindcore over the past decade has sunk into a swamp of humor in order to hide terrible musicianship. You’re probably laughing we used the word “musicianship” within this discussion, but seriously, we can’t take it anymore. […]
black metal \ Canada \ duck black metal \ dusktone \ post-black metal \ Stellar Descent \ wait WTF seriously?
What is a risk? The easy answer is something, anything, where one takes a chance equaling failure or reward. The complex answer is either possibility is due to the application of the idea itself. What do we mean? Well, let’s elaborate. In these times when music is so easy to create, not necessarily well, and […]
Aderlating \ all of that \ Black Plagve Productions \ dark industrial \ death industrial \ horror \ Maurice De Jong \ Mories \ terror
One has to wonder if composers from the classical period were alive, what exactly would they be doing? If they were born in the modern era, where would they be today? What kind of music would they be making? Avoid things of the popular, its analogies are fruitless, because in spite of what that music […]
apply cold water \ Brazil \ Caligari Records \ cassette \ crust \ Disterror \ doom \ doom metal \ funeral \ Heavydeath \ Jupiterian \ Label Exposed \ Lung Molde \ Mexico \ stoner \ The Unquiet Grave \ thrash
Well, it’s been awhile since we did one of these, in fact back before the new site became active, so it has to have been about three or four years now. And what a fitting reunion! We have here, that’s right, a label exposure for Caligari Records, owned and run by the former owner/editor of […]
Aluk Todolo \ France \ living black hole \ Norma Evangelium Diaboli \ occult rock \ The Anja Offensive
It’s impossible to find a proper way of starting this, but others have tried, with pathetic results. Calling Aluk Todolo, direct quote, “an autistic version of Wolves in the Throne Room” is offensive. Not to the autistic, or to Wolves in the Throne Room, but to music criticism. That was the best you could do? […]
France \ Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions \ like seriously why are they so very good \ post-black metal \ post-hardcore \ Regarde les Hommes Tomber
Some people consider us elusive, others bizarre and unnecessary. Whatever we may be, we always make sure to regard the worst with the most foully derisive of language, and the best with the most confusing of personal journeys through minds that, strangely, have never touched a single narcotic. Writers who amaze with their unusual prose […]
