Belief Mover Records \ black metal \ buioingola \ depressing as hell \ doom metal \ Dweller in the Valley \ Eye of Nix \ grimoire records \ Hanged Man Recordings \ noise \ noise rock \ post-black metal \ powerviolence \ psychedelice \ Same Sex Dictator \ Sentient Ruin
In the past, when we’ve tossed tapes purposefully at your face; sometimes it’s been a hit, sometimes a miss, depending on the tape. This time we didn’t want that, we wanted it all. no misses. As the tapes come in, as well as anything else, we’re picky now, preferring to review what we see in a positive […]
black metal \ blackened freaking blackness fossilized into something so black you'll freak \ death metal \ Harvest Gulgaltha \ Nuclear War Now! Productions
Nothing beats mystery, especially when it comes to anything from the blackness. Harvest Gulgaltha have only been around a few years, but even with only two releases under foot, including a demo, it sounds like they’ve been lurking in tombs for much longer than that. Finding anything about them is near impossible. They’re from somewhere […]
Bog Oak \ doom metal \ interview \ is it bad I want to worship trees now? \ Svart Records
With all of the attention doom metal gets anymore, it’s difficult to pick through the mess of wish-we-weres to find the no-one-can-defeat-uses. But, aside from our awkwardly-worded opener, for which we apologize, deeply, the task is real, the difficulty true. Let’s face it, when anything rises in popularity everyone starts to jump on board until the […]
atmospheric \ doom metal \ funeral doom \ melodic \ too good for English words \ Ukraine \ Квітів Знедолених Берегів
We’ve encountered a wonderfully diverse form of two types of metal from Eastern Europe over the past few years, in particular coming from Russia and the Ukraine. Folk metal of the pagan variety, and doom metal, the latter often delivered to us by Russian-born Solitude Productions. We could go off on a number of bands, […]
Bastinado \ blackened \ Finland \ grind \ grindcore \ no flamewar please \ not hardcore
When this one first came in we didn’t think much of it, in fact we did a check on the internet and came up with some weirdo dance/house duo that plays with blocks and ripped off Oogie Boogie’s face from The Nightmare Before Christmas for a live set. Seriously, click on that link and explore. “Groan…really,” […]
black metal \ blackened death metal \ Invictus Productions \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ less is more \ Sepulchral Temple
Well these guys have just come out of nowhere, but hopefully they don’t return there. Sepulchral Temple are a mystery. Their website is currently inactive (not to mention built with, blah, Wix), and in spite of having only a small number of Facebook fans they managed to snag both Invictus Productions and Iron Bonehead Productions […]
ad noiseam \ breakcore \ creepo dog art \ electronica \ IDM \ Igorrr \ Ruby My Dear
If there was any label we’d trust with a collab, it would be Ad Noiseam, but we were hesitant about this one. Simply because in the past year we changed direction to focus primarily on bands and labels with low exposure. Igorrr, well, if you haven’t heard of him, don’t figure you can call yourself […]
atmospheric black metal \ black metal \ Bloody Mountain Records \ so raw you'll freak buddeeee \ Sxuperion
We’ve had a lot of high-production black metal recently, quite good, but how about something raw, eh? Been awhile since we took a piece of flesh off of the side of a cow and just chewed on it, no salt even. Not even a fork or knife, we’ll tear at it with our fingers and […]
Fysisk Format \ MoE \ noise rock \ Norway \ true noise rock no assumptions
You know, there was this one time we received the then newest full-length by the much-hyped Årabrot, who even makes sure on their own site you know they’ve been “ridiculed and ignored by the press” and hated by the “glossy black metal establishment” in their home country of Norway. Having actually reviewed their 2010 release Revenge, we can […]
Blood Music \ dark synthwave \ Gost \ skull mask is cool
One of the great things about running a site like this is getting to know some of the bands, such as our interview with Perturbator from last October. But that’s basic, that’s not all we mean. It’s not just the fact that you speak to them on a more personal level, it’s that from there […]
