black metal as you need it as you want it \ Doombringer \ Malignant Voices \ Nuclear War Now! Productions \ Poland
Doombringer – The Grand Sabbath
It’s amazing how many idiotic reviewers, zines, and joke sites are out there these days. It’s practically a pandemic of Buzzfeed-styled click-attacks, tag lists of bullshit, and further a lack of proper research. With the power of the internet, really, is it so hard to study before you write? Doombringer are a Polish black metal […]
an oration of the darkest of philosophies \ black metal \ Czech Republic \ Deathgasm Records \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Kult Ofenzivy \ non-kvlt destruction
Kult Ofenzivy – Nauky různic
This one needed to sit in the head awhile, but not for the usual sitting reasons. It’s not a ‘grower’, as some say, it wasn’t something of the “different than their last one” variety, either. This is one that to any reviewer with an affection for black metal will most likely seem to be something […]

Isolator – Culture & Principal of Anti-Human Exaltation
Loneliness, crushing loneliness. If you’re not feeling that right now, stop right here, go no further. For this is the kind of thing you can experience in only one context; in the middle of wretched solitude. No feeling, numb, cold, and in complete darkness. Without these elements you’ll completely misunderstand everything about this album. There […]
death metal \ Horrified \ Memento Mori \ nothing else to write last tag here
Horrified – Descent Into Putridity
You know what, now and then we like to just lean back around here and listen to something with full expectations of what it has to offer. No secrets, no surprises, just something that tears and is completely open about its method of tearing. Some flesh removed from your eardrums, sir? Yes, please, that will […]
death metal \ Hammerheart Records \ Inquisitor \ thrash metal \ too Satan for words or tags
Inquisitor – Walpurgis – Sabbath of Lust
Damn it, these guys screwed up our whole system of article titles. See, we start with the band name and then a dash, followed by album title. So when the album title contains a dash within its boundaries we are doomed to looking like we’re reviewing a three-way split. So, just for clarification, this is […]
after this there is only emptiness \ black metal \ complete corruption \ Dark Descent Records \ doom metal \ nothingness incarnate \ Swallowed
Swallowed – Lunaterial
Today, you know what? You know what guys and girls? It’s time for complete destruction of everything. Let’s tear it all down, let’s rip out this thing called a soul that we don’t believe in anyway and burn it into metaphysical ashes. Let’s take this thing called order and obliterate it and whatever remains we’ll […]
blackened punk Satanic evil blasphemy beer drinking girls and demons \ Cendra \ d-beat \ punk \ Satanic punk \ Xtreem Music
Cendra – 666 Bastards
This was going to go to a new reviewer, but her response was “2 topical”, but it just so happens this guy right here (editor) doesn’t mind that at all, at least not this week. No, forget that, our opinions are pure, never based on emotional whims, never based on fanaticism for bands that don’t […]
Americana \ Bludded Head \ doom metal \ how can such things be combined even we don't know \ Sleeping Giant Glossolalia
Bludded Head – Reign in Bludd
Reign in Bludd, Bludded Head’s most recent ep-pun-ymous release, is a sweet relief, a breath of fresh air, gentle breeze kissing the soft and carefree cheek. Sure, the band’s suitably riff-and-distortion heavy, and sure, vocalist Nevada Hill’s desperate and oft-thin warbles sound as though they were drummed up from one unnameable pit miles below the […]
At War With False Noise \ Belgium \ Bonobo Stomp \ Dingleberry Records \ hardcore punk \ Missiles of October \ Pogo Records \ punk \ seriously how are there this many labels \ sludge
Missiles of October – Don’t Panic
What is this some sort of Douglas Adams reference? Listen, before we get to the punk, let it be know Deaf Sparrow does not like that novel one bit. It was one of the most awful and overrated pieces of literature to ever pass these eyes (editor). Isn’t that interesting? A digression at the start of […]
dusty old bones \ Poland \ Repulsor \ retro thrash \ thrash metal \ Thrashing Madness Productions \ VHS references
Repulsor – Trapped in a Nightmare EP
Talk about some thrashtastic artwork, it references practically every legendary VHS cover or film poster from the 1980s, such as Virgin Among the Living Dead or City of the Walking Dead. With that in mind, it comes with an expectation of retro worship. In fact, that’s kind of what’s been going on in thrash for the past […]
