bring it more please \ Moonlight Records \ more doom dudes \ Shinin' Shade \ where's the power? \ WTF more this needs more
Shinin’ Shade – Sat-Urn
It’s not good when you start with one of the worst band names we’ve encountered in awhile. We suppose, though, that if you’re going for more of the 1960s or 70s in terms of your “doom” it sounds fitting, like Blue Cheer or Incredible Hog. However, that always irritates the piss out of us, because […]
beautiful analog \ black metal \ Cassette Assault \ crust \ funeral doom \ holy shit all on cassette even \ noise \ sludge \ tape hiss
Cassette Assault! Noise, Noisy, Noisier!
Uh oh, folks, it’s time for another…cassette assault!!!! Or perhaps those exclamatives should be written as !!!!11!11!!!! Either way, we’re bringing it in that beautiful analog format that warps in the sun and makes stuff like this sound even better. Last time we had a selection of four beautiful pieces of plastic from one label, […]
animal rights \ atmosphere \ girl singing from all angles \ screw humanity \ The Way of Purity \ WormHoleDeath Records \ yes yes yes
The Way of Purity – Equate
Sent a stack of WormHoleDeath releases to one of our writers to do a nice, giant article on the label, because the guys behind it are awesome, hardworking, and in spite of their underground status really push the promotional level of their stuff and take it with a grain of salt, which is a rarity […]
I can't go on \ irony \ misnomer \ quasi-boring thrash metal \ someone help me \ Unlocking the Truth \ what how even \ why?
Unlocking the Truth of Said 8th Grade Metal Band (Yeah, They Suck, Get Over It)
Metal, everyone who’s in wishes other people would just stay the Hell out. A huge portion of it thrives on the underground fanatic, that type who covers themselves in logos until their skin is practically made out of cloth, who purchases everything on cassette for some God damn reason, who knows what metal is, and […]
Dune \ Frank Herbert \ not as bad as first but still kind of sucks \ real bad \ sci-fi \ so I guess it's okay \ sucks bad
Frank Herbert’s Dune Sucks: Part II – Dune Messiah
If you started here, you started wrong, or in my opinion thematically, probably right. I suggest you read my analysis of Dune before going through this one. If you’re interested, just click here for the truth about that living suck. Dune Messiah was Herbert’s first sequel in his Dune universe, and it tends to be […]
cut it out \ no \ noise punk \ on innuendo necessary \ pervo \ T.I.T.S. \ Teenage Menopause Records
T.I.T.S. – S/T
Sorry, no, this isn’t a gratuitous review in any sense of the term. So sorry, we don’t do that kind of thing around here. We respect women as much as we respect the underground. So no T-shirts with the wetness, no butt short shots, no illicit images, not for us! And just so you know, it […]
black metal \ grimoire records \ thrashened black \ Wrought Iron \ yeah we just did that
Wrought Iron: Rejoice and Transcend
Stellar, spot on. There, review finished. We’ve been thinking about trying one-sentence reviews for some time, just haven’t decided the best approach for it yet, so bare with us as we continue to talk even though we’ve already told you what we think of this one. Grimoire Records is an on-the-rise label from out of […]
Beläten \ dark trance \ darkwave \ Michael Idehall \ post-apocalyptic avant-guarde (yeah \ take that one)
Michael Idehall: Deep Code
Here’s something you don’t see very much in underground music today, an artist that goes by their real name. If it’s not his real name, well, then this is like totally weird and probably cutting edge to somebody out there. Michael Idehall is an artist/musician (as well as other things including author) from out of […]
2Black \ how could you even \ just why \ metal shame \ there's no way \ why? \ worst band photo ever \ wow
The Worst Band Photo in History
No, what you see above is not the photograph in question. Keep reading for the reveal. Oh why, ghastly world of ours, why do you permit such things to exist? It’s band photos of this nature that make us question if there really is a point to it all. The answer in this case is […]
Finland \ go ahead add a bunch \ hardcore \ metal \ more genres added as you feel the need \ punk \ rock \ SCUMRISE!
SCUMRISE!: Super Hits EP
Finland has a rather vibrant underground, but most of what we’ve heard here is of the hardcore variety, for some reason. Yes, believe it or not, Finnish hardcore is a “a thing,” as it were. Why do we question your belief? Because who associates Finland with anything but trolls and poorly-written troll metal, right? Well, […]
