Adversarial – Death, Endless Nothing and the Black Knife of Nihilism
Well, this band has already started off on their path of adversariness with an album title that’s probably going to break our system coding. First for its length, and if that doesn’t do it, then for its meaning. Nihilism, the rejection of principles, especially moral principles or those stemming from religion, the rejection of love, […]

STORM OF NOISE – The 1st Offensive
So it’s time for some of this, everyone. In the past we received a decent amount of noise promos for review, or let’s just say experimental to cover everything under the sun so no one feels like an outsider. But recently we’ve been hit with a wave of metal of the ‘blackened’ variety, or just […]
Autokrator \ black metal \ death metal \ experimental \ France \ Inferna Profundus Records \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Third Eye Temple \ totally crazy man so I have to reference Star Wars like a tool
Autokrator – S/T
There are certain people out there giving us a wealth of idiocy to criticize, and it’s great because we can still seem creative. Let it be known that anyone who references Star Wars in a review of any metal band, unless it’s a metal band with a focus on Star Wars, is a complete toolbox, […]

Yen Pox – Between the Horizon and the Abyss
We’ve been on board with Malignant Records for a long time now. What started as a partial zine project many years ago eventually went on to become one of the modern powerhouses behind death industrial, noise, ambient, and all of those moldering genres we enjoy so much around here. So yeah, we’ve known about them […]

2methyl – Layer 8
We’ve been really getting slammed with black metal, post-black metal, and blackened death promos recently, and we’re not really sure the reason. Now, of course, you know us, that’s always fine in our books, in fact it’s the introduction to every one of our books: “send things of this variety.” It really says that. But […]

Mefitic – Woes of Mortal Devotion
This is such an awesome name for a band, even though it’s a spelling variation. Who cares? It sounds so Goddamned vile it pleases one to speak it aloud to others. To what are you listening, friend? Mefitic. To which they shirk in horror, knowing only from the staticy bile coming from your ears that […]
doom metal \ Monolord \ Riding Easy Records \ yep that's about all you can say about it
Monolord – Vænir
The artwork from this one is just splendid, let’s get that out now. It’s esoteric, brooding, possibly Gothic, in the classical sense, not modern, and it gives one “the feels” in its stark simplicity. We expect great things out of great art, and some bands don’t appreciate how critical a cover can be for how […]

Decline of the I – Rebellion
You know what’s annoying? Pretentious critics who pull out obscure quotes to verify their grasp of thought. They must be feared, but remember, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself (John F. Kennedy, 1905). Now we’re not trying to make enemies, but it’s been said if you want to make enemies, try […]

Cinis – Subterranean Antiquity
Death metal, how does it survive? Why do we ask that question is likely your own question right now, but it’s quite easy to answer. We ask because the number of similar bands out there is astounding, at times, and it grows every month. But if they’re all so similar, how can that be? Well, […]

Concatenatus – Meditation Through the Inner Vortex
Now here’s something we needed. We were kind of in the mood to feel ultra-elitist, to sound like that friend you hate, the one who pulls out dozens of band names you’ve never heard, all in response to your asking simple questions about a genre or whilst discussing a band. “I like Belphegor, they’re pretty […]
