MachineCode – Samurai

MachineCode – Samurai

We’ve dealt out a ton of trash for you this week, so let us now worship all that is the machine.  Since those mechanical monsters of electricity and steel will someday dominate our pathetic lives, placing us into servitude until we’ve worn out our welcome, burning us down into carbon to be utilized as air […]

Destroy All Gondolas – S/T 7″

Destroy All Gondolas – S/T 7″

Man, seriously, various things were sprayed out of our pants in laughter at this band’s name.  This was then followed by further confoundment when the press release was scoped from Kornalcielo Records, reading simply that these Italian crazymen played punk/surf/hardcore with a dose of Satanic imagery.  “Really,” we thought, “It’s either a joke or completely […]

Torturerama – It Begins At Birth EP

Torturerama – It Begins At Birth EP

Death metal is probably the easiest genre to call.  When you see a band name, you usually know where they’re going with it and what to expect out of the quality.  You’ve probably heard it all, all the references to body parts, bodily fluids, ad nauseum, but not in the way they’re thinking.  And the […]

IRM – Closure

IRM – Closure

Ahhh, the sweet sound of corrupted metal and acid-degraded vocals.  It’s been awhile since we delved into dark industrial/noise, or post-industrial if you prefer, and if there’s any label to do it with, it’s Malignant Records.  We really wish we knew what ‘IRM’ stood for, and we’re not going to take a chance, because it’s […]

Cassette Assault – Absolute Filth

Cassette Assault – Absolute Filth

Here we are again, ye keepers of the guns and ammo, ye corrupt blasphemers of the digital era.  Load up, get your bandoliers, get your helicopters, get your grenades, and prepare to blow the speakers of that nice old Sony two-deck you got from Goodwill as you continue to deny the world you believe in […]

Nightbringer – Ego Dominus Tuus

Nightbringer – Ego Dominus Tuus

Now here’s a type of black metal that needs more representation, and one that raises questions.  Something that goes beyond mere sound quality, elevating itself with the sheer impressiveness of its breadth of concept.  Nightbringer is probably one of the more underrated US black metal acts of the past twenty years, carving a niche into […]

Execució – Demo

Execució – Demo

After all the work we’ve been doing recently, there came a time when enough was enough but circumstances made it pertinent to keep going anyway and push through the pain.  When life gets you down, when work never ends, when you have to finish things in a day you normally do over the course of […]

ÆVANGELIST – Writhes in the Murk

Sometimes before we write these things we like to check out the plebosphere to see what kinds of opinions are being tossed about, just for a frame of reference.  Don’t dare accuse us of plagiarism, because it doesn’t happen around here, we’re original, 100%.  The main reason for doing such research is to get an […]

Wormwood – S/T

Wormwood – S/T

Christmas has decayed away, it has fallen into the snow, crushed underfoot, ground into muddied mush speckled with blood.  Ahead the New Year approaches, and with it thousands upon millions of lies erupt from the maws of the damned, those sniveling wooden robots of society that drag their feet, make their purchases, make their promises, […]

Two Films of Christmas Horror and Hate

Two Films of Christmas Horror and Hate

As of this writing, it’s December 25th and my Christmas celebration began with a domestic squabble with my on-again/off-again domestic partner. Things got uglier and fists got introduced into the equation. Like a gentleman (or a coward who realizes that a ‘Domestic Violence’ rap is not going to look very appealing to my newly-found corporate […]
