VI – De Praestigiis Angelorum
Well we had fun this week posting a bunch of stupid crap on Facebook to see how social media works. Our conclusion? It’s fueled by utter stupidity. As the activity climbed, we realized the most boring of us are more interested in crap memes and stupid, catchy phrases, which honestly we kind of took and […]

Heat Dust – S/T
It might not seem like it, but we do receive punk submissions pretty frequently. They just all suck, hard, and aren’t even worth a negative review because they’re typically so typical they deserve nothing more than silence. Suffice to say it takes something especially tasty or tedious for us to put it up on here, for […]

Tetragrammacide – Typhonian Wormholes: Indecipherable Anti-Structural Formulæ
We’ve had our sampling of the bizarre in the past year, especially that which can be deemed genre-bending, chaotically forged, is-this-reality metal. We’re living in a world of chaos these days, so perhaps it’s all a symbol of the collapse of the human race, a look into the future when eventually everything is meaningless and […]

Valdur – Pathetic Scum
Black metal is often easy to grasp, thematically speaking, as soon as you look at a cover. Ever hear that old mantra about tanks, or as they call them typically, panzers? If thou see a tank on the cover, be warned, for it does not deliver the crushing explosions expected. Well, visually speaking, this one […]

Interview with Necro Deathmort (Yes We Asked About That Name)
Ugh, sometimes real life gets in our underground way Goddamn it anyway. But enough of that, you don’t even need details, you all need another one of our fine, detailed, and informative interviews, and we’re not joking around. Typically, we only ask questions of what we consider to be the finest acts that we review, stuff […]

Wailin Storms – Shiver
Music critics can be fickle, but even worse they can be lazy. Lazy reviews focus too much on simple details. This riff is good blah blah etc. Further, they typically rely on the most common of lazy errors, that being name-dropping. “For fans of…” is the veritable slogan for almost every review site in existence. […]

Deathrite – Revelation of Chaos
The start of the week, the start of work, or the start of not doing work, or not getting up, or hating everything until Thursday when it all seems bright again. Until then, work, work, and work. But if you’re at work, what are you doing on this site? That’s easy to explain because you, like […]
The Good, The Bad, The Unsigned
This was always a favorite feature of the original owner/editor of Deaf Sparrow on the old site, but we had yet to bring it back, so here it is, “The Good, The Bad, The Unsigned”. The title, awesome, the process simple. What we do is run through four submissions from unsigned bands/musicians that we’ve received recently, […]
Broken Limbs Recordings \ but I guess we have to say metal of some sort \ Chicago \ genreless beasts \ Immortal Bird
Immortal Bird – Empress/Abscess
Did you ever read a review and smile at all of the praise, only to get to the score and wonder what in the hell happened in the meantime? This actually occurred when this album here was on repeat at the homestead over the past few days. We enjoy, sometimes, checking out what others have […]

Hell:On – Once Upon a Chaos…
Experimentation is occasionally a path of ruin, irrespective of history and skill, a choice often made for the wrong reasons, or even when made for the right reasons it leads to abject failure. It’s a dangerous path, fraught with danger, covered in brambles leading up to steep cliffs where a single foothold means either progression […]
