all tots real \ like real thrash peeps \ no retro crap \ Nocturnal Breed \ thrash metal
We’ve encountered this whole retro thrash thing a number of times over the past few years, in fact you’re probably sick of us saying that, but there are a couple of worthy bands who were doing it before it was cool, or before it was considered retro. How can something even be retro if it […]
1980s \ action figures \ baby \ check it \ dude \ the real deal here all legit
Sometimes I wonder if I’m just reaching that age where nostalgia kicks in. Then I think, no, today really does suck. As far as pop culture goes, it all pretty much ruled from the 70s to mid 90s. In the middle is the golden period of absolute coolness in toys, the 1980s. You’re probably expecting […]
black metal \ blackened death metal \ death metal \ deathened black metal \ Hoth \ metaled death black
Always give credit to self-released bands who put this much effort into it. Hoth took the time to write a thorough promo sheet, including a frakkin sticker to sweeten the pot. We’ve encountered them before, though Cole didn’t like them very much, primarily because they’re self-proclaimed Star Wars fanatics and he didn’t like their, let’s […]
australasia \ black metal Italian sadness \ interview \ pure greatness \ shoegaze into oblivion
A few years ago Deaf Sparrow branched out into other underground genres. Yeah, we like it hard and filthy, but we also like to think. Sometimes we like to think so hard and filthy we collapse into whatever piece of furniture is near, wherever we may be, and lull ourselves into blissful hatred of life. […]
awesome licks though \ chugga chug \ death metal \ Devoid \ India
Only the truly knowledgeable of us know that India produces death metal. And only the truly underground of those who are knowledgeable know that India can produce good death metal. It’s sad because several of their homegrown power teams are actually quite good, others not so much, but that’s to be expected anywhere. Transcending Obscurity […]
grindcore \ hardcore \ holy shit wot \ more pls \ no way \ Patac Records \ powerviolence \ seriously \ Siege \ woah
Don’t know Siege? Get out of here, go back to listening to Scum with the corrected track list. Often billed as one of the first hardcore, grindcore bands, sometimes powerviolence bands, for genre snobs, Siege were way ahead of their time, regardless of your selection at the musical buffet. Even today, listening to the awesome Relapse […]
Abstracter \ black metal \ crows flying everywhere \ grainy like granny \ lo-fi \ sludge \ The Path Less Traveled Records
This is a really cool album title, but unfortunately Tomb of Feathers is only an almost cool album. That sounds a lot more harsh than it actually was to us, so please, continue to read. Don’t stop now, it is your destiny. Abstracter is a progressive black metal band from out of California. With all of […]
dude \ Girls on the Road \ seriously \ Unicorn Video \ VHS \ woah \ WTF
Woah, what? What what what? Now and then, if you’re actually interested, you’ll come across forgotten oddities like this beauty right here. Got this from a friend for a pretty penny, pretty much paying for the cover and expecting to sell it immediately after watching based on what little you can find about it online, […]
electronic \ emotional tragedy \ Goth \ holy shit more pls \ Jessica93 \ Teenage Menopause Records
Originally we were going to have a new writer do this a few months ago, but she crapped out, as most “potential” writers do around here. Seriously, what’s so hard about writing a few paragraphs throughout the week for music you receive for free? Anyway, it was I (editor) who first came across this, and […]
all that shat bru \ ambient \ black metal \ crucial blast \ Mors Sonat \ my God yes more please \ noise
Crucial Blast rarely, and we mean rarely, releases anything that isn’t good. Plus, he’s like a one-man machine that combines several genres into his label, not to mention having one of the best mail order catalogs in the world with stuff from pretty much everywhere. One of his fortes is noise, and though we had […]
