The Vault: Pollution – N.S. Drugs
Here it is folks, a resurrection, the first resurrection, maybe the only resurrection you’re ever going to need. A new feature we’re going to do around here is hereby called “The Vault,” but maybe we’ll change that sometime in the future. Basically, old reviews from the original site will be reposted here, if we feel they’re […]

Squash Bowels/Parricide: Old Grindfathers and Their Grind
Ahhh, grind, probably the one genre in metal that refuses to go anywhere, it’s completely content. You see the same thing with older veins of hardcore. If you appreciate it for what it is, then hey, why not? Otherwise ‘not’ is your only option. Squash Bowels is a goregrind band from out of Poland, which […]

Verdant: Sincerity
God the artwork on this thing… Now and then you come across an album where the artwork, or in this case photography, basically does justice to the actual sound therein. Every song on this feels like what you see, it even sounds like it in its best moments, like the inside of some old mausoleum […]
blah maybe maybe not \ Desdinova \ Green Valley Records \ progressive \ thrash
Desdinova: Defying Gravity
Well, this was…a bummer…a bummer’s bummer. We’ve had a lot of bands over the years here telling us what their image is all about, what it all means to them. Often it’s pretty accurate, in spite of the staleness of the tunes to be found. Desdinova is pretty clear they’re a thrash band from their […]

Decomposed: Devouring
Swedish death metal has had its score of greats, and we need not mention any of them here because it would just be pretentious. Probably yawnsome, too, and we keep it underground, so underground. Decomposed started out with a huge leap of faith, naming themselves with such an obvious term, one already taken by at […]
Brutal Panda Records \ metal \ post-hardcore \ post-rock \ so awesome screw genre \ Wild Throne
Wild Throne: Blood Maker
Yeah, sometimes bands can blow you the feck away. Like totally. Like you look behind you and where you expect to at least see limbs there’s barely a spray of blood and miniscule chunks. If there are chunks they’re practically the same splatter as the rest of it. Blood Maker comes via way of Brutal Panda […]
Atari 2600 \ join in the suck and love it \ Top 10 Worst \ video games
The 10 Worst Atari 2600 Games (E.T. Is Not One of Them, Duh)
Yeah, sure, it’s been done, but it’s never been done right, and in this case it’s being done again because I deleted the original blog. So yes, this is a rewrite of a previous article, but everyone loves these things. However, in this case, there isn’t a proper ‘top ten worst’ list for the Atari 2600. They all […]
Coffins \ death metal \ doom metal \ grind \ Noothgrush
Noothgrush/Coffins: Split LP
Any veteran of the doom metal scene is familiar with these two names, without a doubt. That saves us a lot of time, see, because where we’d normally spend an introductory paragraph talking background and bio, we can now use that space to write pointless nothingness like this sentence, which you will still read because […]

Frank Herbert’s Dune Sucks: Part I – Dune
Well, as you can assume, I, Arkus have been taking my time reading something. This mysterious something with irritating italics in places that don’t make sense all of the time, is all of the original Dune novels written by Frank Herbert, throwing in the parody called Doon for my final analysis. This was actually published about two years ago, but in creating the new […]

DEATHSTENCH/Trepaneringsritualen: Split LP
In the world of darkness, there are a few labels that reign supreme that we see around here frequently. One of those, Malignant Records, has sent us recently several cool pieces, including our first vinyl promo for the new hardcopy address. And here it is. First off, nothing beats a picture disc with cool artwork, […]
