Uranium – Pure Nuclear Death (Black Industrial)
Now here’s a damn fine contrast to the review I just posted. From gloom pop to this. So first I lament the fact I don’t get enough gloom and dark pop, and here we are with something else I don’t get a lot of, or at least usually not good, black and/or dark industrial. […]

MØAA – Jaywalker (Gloomy Dream Pop)
Been awhile since I got a sweet taste of something like this. Occasionally some gloom comes in, but it’s trite and ineffective. It doesn’t make me languid, it makes me mad, kid. Lol, sad, a pathetic intro… Anyway I don’t even remember how I happened upon the latest from MØAA but I did, and […]

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales (Intrepid Story-Slicing Privateer Simulator)
How does a night of transporting yourself into books, stealing key plot devices, and selling them to pay off your jail sentence sound? The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is this and more, layering pages of different plots on top of each other in a top-down, point-and-click/turn-based combat action adventure. With a more than serviceable […]

Forndom – Alster (Haunting Dark Ritual Folk)
Yeah I get these ambient submissions sometimes and it always reminds me how difficult it is it to make a lasting impression or be effective in the genre. It’s far beyond that in difficulty if you’re remaking tracks within the genre that were released in a previously different form. This is exactly what Sweden’s […]

Third Storm – The Locust Mantra (Blackened Melodic Thrash Death Metal Woah)
Here’s another interesting one from Sweden. I saw a bit of semi-hate concerning The Locust Mantra out there, mainly that it doesn’t “stand out,” but I’ve said it before is that always necessary? Plus, Third Storm are also much older than you’d expect so perhaps think a bit, listen harder, and see what comes […]

Nightmare (MKUltra Psychological Slasher Film)
It’s back! One of the sleaziest and ugliest of the slasher classics that oozed their ways onto movie theaters in the early 1980s has finally returned to your home after substandard earlier releases. Romano Scavolini’s Nightmare remains potent stuff and is more timely than ever in the wake of incidents like the Sandy Hook […]

Kontusion – S/T (Raw and Mutilated Death Punk)
Whelp, I died. Another Sentient Ruin smacker. I pretty much guessed that, though, without even scoping the label. Xeroxed cover from a rotted-on-the-insides dumpster nuclear fire? Yep, musical summary right there folks, another example of my “see that cover, this sounds like that” intro. Even better, though, is how the overlapping of lines makes […]

Solipnosis – Síntesis Silenciosa (Reality-Altering Progressive Blackened Speed Metal)
Dang Chile can you calm the fuck down? Christ you’re killing me here with all this awesome stuff! I’m just going to review stuff from Chile now, sorry everyone, this is a 100% Chilean underground site starting today. Well, of course not, but it could be if I keep getting promos like the latest […]

Amid Evil VR (Dark Fantasy VR Death LARP)
What a treat this one is. New Blood Interactive is already legendary for its retro-inspired FPS titles like Dusk or its legendary, oddball pixel horror title FAItH. A personal favorite of mine, and one I played in-depth, as well as reviewed on this site (look it up yourself lazy), is Amid Evil, an FPS […]

True Criminals (Psychopathic Moron Crime Thriller)
What do you get when you take Dumb and Dumber and add ultra crude elements, murder, and humor that leaves nothing to the imagination? Daryl and Dax. No last names, just Daryl and Dax. Two brothers who see an opportunity (to them, and definitely not to anyone else) of taking the blame for a […]
