Siaskel: Jatenentolpen Thejin

You know, usually you see a logo that looks like a combination of sticks and sinews and you figure “oh, here we go, one of these bands,” but now and then behind the logo is a name that deserves reading, and a proper font.  Siaskel has an interesting approach in concept, and usually that kind of thing […]

Entrance Into the PORTAL Hath Been Granted (Interview)

Entrance Into the PORTAL Hath Been Granted (Interview)

  Portal, the presence, the power, the entity.  But what is it?  What are they?  And what is this?  An interview?  Of course not, we don’t waste much time with that unless it hasn’t been done, that’s why the title has ‘interview’ in parenthesis.  Deaf Sparrow knows, we know, the Portal has been opened many […]

Traktoroth: Post Nuclear Boogie EP

Man sometimes Eastern Europe just gets it right, right in the kisser.  Sorry, that’s all we had on hand by way of clever introductions.  Many have argued that said part of the world is roughly ten years behind everyone else culturally, but it’s pretty rude.  There’s no lack of style over there, easily proven via […]

Period: 2

Period: 2

God damn, son, this is good.  There’s something naturally frightening about free death jazz (we just made that up) if it’s done right, suffice to say this is done right.  Public Eyesore is a wonderful label run basically by one guy that’s been dishing out some incredible releases over the years.  The genius of Bryan […]

303 Committee: Conquest

303 Committee: Conquest

This is a dip into darkness so deep it’s virtually impossible to expel yourself from it.  Inam Records has been encountered several times around here, such as the legendary drone master Sujo, but there’s very little information out there about 303 Committee and that’s about as elite as it could possibly get.  To listen to […]

Cassette Assault!  No Visible Scars

Cassette Assault! No Visible Scars

It’s a…..cassette assault!  That’s a new thing for us around here.  We get a bunch of cassettes from a single label, or band, and we have at it, firing that beautiful celluloid like so many bullets, filling your corpse with the notations of sweet, hissing tape through a blown-speaker Magnavox.  Take it like a champ! […]

The Witch Who Came from the Sea (VHS)

The Witch Who Came from the Sea (VHS)

Wow, here’s a pile of mutated, rotting, festering, very-bad-smelling human fluid and waste products.  Let’s get something straight around here.  I love bad movies, love em.  And there’s no sense in arguing why, because if you’re reading this, you’ve been there too.  The troubling filming techniques, the poorly articulated dialog, the horrid acting, the ridiculous […]

Scaredycat: run.

Scaredycat: run.

Wife was stoked about this.  Why?  Sticker.  We need stickers for our scooter.  Unfortunately, this sticker is not being placed there, at least not yet.  Why?  Because I was stoked too, but cold water was tossed all over my naked body.  Nothing beats some good spazz, and yep, not only the promo sheet says it, […]

Abstractive Noise: of the Adder’s Bite

Abstractive Noise: of the Adder’s Bite

Now and then we receive something so mind-blowingly spectacular it takes us too long to write the review.  Why?  Because words escape us.  We can tear apart the most pathetic of albums with little effort, we can gum profusely the awesomness of post-black metal, but when we face something like this, our words are mere […]

Inverticrux: Malcontent Manifestation Monitoring Program

Inverticrux: Malcontent Manifestation Monitoring Program

This album has probably received the most listens out of anything we’ve ever encountered.  It can so easily change the opinion of the listener it deserves it, because you go into it expecting one thing, come out with another, go back again, come out with yet another, it never ends.  Inverticrux, formerly Vintage Flesh, is […]
