Luring – Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy (Shapeshifting Black Metal)
I don’t think I’ve been this proud of American black metal since, well, now I guess. Listen, though he had a few good tracks, I only owned a Leviathan shirt because the logo’s cool. We have cool logo here with Pennsylvania’s Luring, as well, but musically something much different. Something more profound, something more […]

Visteria – S/T (One-Woman Emasculating Violating Metalpünk)
Lol yep. I’m telling you I had a ton of awful promos these past two weeks, and only two stood out as worthy for any review, let alone a positive one. In this case we’re beyond positive to godly, so yay. Let’s consider here the debut mini-cassette from Poland’s Visteria. It’s a small package, […]

Until Dawn (Interactive Survival Horror Drama)
Until Dawn, the highly anticipated remake of the 2015 cult classic, was released on October 4, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC. Developed by Ballistic Moon, this reimagining of the beloved horror game offers a fresh perspective on the original while maintaining its core mechanics. One of the most impressive improvements in this remake […]

Nordvagr – Resignation IV (Dark Ambient Industrial with Sick Beats)
Finally, finally, some good dark ambient/dark industrial. Hell, any ambient or industrial is needed around here, but as I’ve said countless times, the former is a genre that seems simple to craft, which is why the majority of submissions I receive are total garbage. Bunch of fools with keyboards yet no actual training in […]

Rotpit – Long Live the Rot (Complexly Flippant Swedish Death Metal)
I’ve seen bands evolve before, but rarely to this level. Rotpit’s first full-length came out over a year ago, and I gave that one a bunch of glittering generalities, some jokes about their style, but still with a strong positive recommendation, so imagine how tickled my tummy was when I saw a new one […]

Inverted Cross – Eternal Flames of Hell (Goat Bowing Blackened Speed Metal)
First Chile, now Catalonia, what’s going on in those two countries there? Tons of crazy shit, apparently. I just reviewed Trollcave the other week, and now let’s add to the mix blackened speed metal Satanists Inverted Cross! But wait a minute, hold up now, I was just saying the other day the whole Satanist […]

Red Flags: Stories and Other Disturbances (Emotional Body Horror)
I met Dr. Elsby while at an underground lit con this September, and decided to delve into her most recent collection. I always feel bad being at such things, initially. You know, when people wonder why you don’t buy their shit, but to be totally honest I usually don’t unless I like the cover. […]

Repuked – Club Squirting Blood (Perverse Swedish Death Metal)
It’s time I faced the facts. I grew up listening to old school Pungent Stench, who developed that saucy, sweaty, butt smelling kind of grime that defined a genre in itself. But, after years of running out of ideas, some legal battles that kind of turned out alright, a stupid name change, and a […]

The Profane Exhibit (Gorrific Horror Anthology)
The Profane Exhibit is a horror anthology featuring the talents of several international genre directors, and the horror tends to skew a bit more extreme and sadistic than what most fans likely go for. If you enjoy the films of the New French Extremity Movement and similar, then you’re likely the target demographic for […]

Silent Hill 2 (Grief-Riddled Psychological Horror Remake Masterpiece)
Silent Hill 2, released on October 4, 2024, successfully captures the essence of the 2001 psychological horror classic. Developed by Bloober Team, the remake modernizes the game while preserving its haunting atmosphere. To know Silent Hill is to love Silent Hill, there’s nothing like a good horror video game. Just so we’re clear, Silent […]
