Human Services – Animal Fires
We enjoy responding to users on Facebook or the site proper. It encourages us to write faster and harder, to get them to climax in the sense of saying something stupid so we can criticize their very existence. So, it’s not unusual to get the occasional weirdos now and then, people that reveal the true […]

Interview with Perturbator (Worship the Gods of VHS)
Those of you who have been paying attention to us recently know we reviewed a few different dark synthwave bands in the past few months, in fact we’ve pretty much been going through a fad. But around here that’s what you want to see, it means we’re giving you more of that hard-hitting somethingrather journalism […]

Gost – S/T
Well, isn’t this fitting for the month? We’ve been on a dark synthwave kick around here with several excellent submissions, including Perturbator’s newest, which we reviewed not so long ago, and with whom we’re currently finishing an interview. In fact, he was the one that told us about this Gost character, so we gave him […]

The Sade – II
We’ve recently been too entrenched in death and gloom around here, as well as dark synthwave madness. It’s been a dark, all-encompassing pathos, a pathos that was in need of an awakening through good, old-fashioned hard rock with a touch of Satanic imagery, perhaps a bit of that ‘billy’ thing tagged on at the end. […]

The Vault: Ehnahre – Taming the Cannibals
There’s very little you can say about Ehnahre to someone who hasn’t heard them before. Black metal free jazz, death jazz, Satanic jazz; terms like that sort of give an idea, but it’s not really sufficient. An earlier version of the band formed around 2000 and experimented with several different genres including grind, sludge, and […]

Boddicker – Crime Upheaval
It’s too bad this cassette is sold out and anyone who now wants to listen to it has to resort to, pfff, digital. Boddicker, get with the times. Listen, anything like has to be listened to on at least vinyl or cassette. It can’t be any other way, especially since they use Detroit as an […]

Collapse Under the Empire – Sacrifice & Isolation
This is something we need to dig out for our ‘The Vault’ feature coming up soon. Collapse Under the Empire first came to our attention when they sent us their EP The Sirens Sound several years ago. It was placed into the car stereo during a long trip to DC, even though the artwork gave no […]

renate/cordate – S/T
Blame us for the length of time this one took. We can’t pin it on the old editor for this particular review because though this one came in another one of his mysterious boxes of “WTF where did you hide this stuff?”, this new editor speaking to you now looked at this particular album, said […]

Hemorrhage – Chapter One EP
How many times have we opened a review with “wow” around here? One too many, certainly, so let’s start this one out on a different note. If only we had the buzzwords to do it…at least one… What about a phrase instead? How about simply this is of the “I want to punch someone who […]

Monastery – Peculiar Storms
You ever look at something and say “yeah, this will be good”? Here is a case of that, so thank the new deities of the true arts, Seraphim House, for the opportunity to listen to such beauty. Robb, the mind behind Monastery, took the time to send an absolutely spectacular package that, upon opening the box, caused me […]
