Double Header – Street Sects
It’s great when you come across a band like this where you could throw out several genres and not one of them would be sufficient or make any sense. Street Sects play a noisey variety of somethingrather from out of Austin, TX and they prove that something weird is happening in the American West. It […]

Ulvedharr – Swords of Midgard
One curious thing from bands we’ve seen from Italy is a strange tendency to consume foreign culture for image purposes. We almost got in trouble once in an old review of a band from a northern region of the country that utilized images of a forgotten tribe, but which to 99% of their audience appeared […]

Interview With Regarde les Hommes Tomber (France Is Here to Destroy)
How many times have we said now that French post-hardcore is of the world-dominating caliber? We try our best to not be redundant, but God help us is it possible as human beings? You get up, you sleep, you eat, you have babies, really we all do it, right? So why not do it with […]

Infectious Garage Disease – S/T
Albums like this are incredibly hard to review. You can’t simply listen to them, toss out the score, dish out some silly words, and call it a day. This kind of thing requires a bit of thought, because it’s not your normal release. Infectious Garage Disease was barely a footnote in the Sacramento, California punk […]

Evadne – The Shortest Way
It’s time for some doom peeeeeoooople. Solitude Productions is a stellar label out of Russia with a primary focus on all things doom, though much of it of the ‘funeral’ variety, generally speaking. Meaning emotional, sometimes brutally slow, sometimes symphonic, none of that stoner crap stuff. Well, okay, so there is occasionally some of that, but […]
avant-garde metal \ black metal \ Charnel House \ dissonance \ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP \ oh so much \ SYGIL Records \ wait stop that's too much
Charnel House – Contagion
First off, just so you know, the artwork there is taken from the fold-out poster inside with the CD, which is superb. That being said, let it be known, the concept behind Charnel House is awesome. It’s a great idea, because nothing is better than mixing beauty with dissonance, especially the quality of dissonance found […]

Storm Ross – The Green Realm
This one hurts, it does. It always hurts us to our core when we have to give something an average or even slightly negative review. But not just that, because sometimes being negative is entirely enjoyable. However, in cases when the submission comes so professionally done and with so much care given to the […]
french fry song \ fuzz galore \ love that bass \ potatoes and guys without fingers \ Riff Fist \ something about riffs \ stoner
Riff Fist – Fistful of Riffs
This presents a conundrum of the most profound. Is the fist made of riffs? Or is it rather that the riffs are made of fist? This question may be impossible to answer, and we’re certainly not intelligent enough around here to figure it out, so we’ll save this philosophical speculation for the rest of you. […]

Double Header – Trepaneringsritualen
Seeing as we love this guy so much in all his blood-crusted beardiness, figured we’d save some time covering two labels and two different releases at once, as this special article style of ours is want to do. Thomas Ekelund, known as Trepaneringsritualen, we first reviewed in a split LP with DEATHSTENCH released by Malignant […]

Underhill – Prologue
Said it before, and we’ll say it again, nothing, we repeat, nothing this label sends us is below a 4/5, ever. As soon as we open that beautiful, sealed digipak of a release by the beast known as Ad Noiseam, our minds explode into a billion pointless words in a futile effort to explain how very […]
