Décryptal – Sabazios Culte (Cacophonic Death Metal)
Well these guys are certainly a spooky mystery. I have no clue where they came from but with the amount of cacophony they wretch I should! I know they’re form Canada, but figuratively speaking with the type of eerie, dragging death metal these guys play it’s only from the ground they could have possibly […]

Vortex (Decaying in Love Psychological Drama)
Have you ever watched a movie that rattled you deep to your core? The kind of film that you just can’t shake and the very thought brings tears to your eyes? Yeah, Vortex is one of those movies. Actually, it’s more than a mere piece of cinema, this is the dividing line where Gaspar […]

Metal Hellsinger (Death Metal Album Visualizer Doom Clone Crossover)
This video game is single-handedly one of the best metal albums of 2022 featuring guest appearances from: Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility), Tatiana Shmayluk (Jinjer), Matt Heafy (Trivium), James Forton (Black Crown Initiate), Björn “Speed” Strid (Soilwork), Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God), Dennis Lyxzén (Refused And Invsn), and Serj Tankian (System […]

Astriferous – Pulsations from the Black Orb (Existential Death Metal)
It’s a sad day when I realize that this is only the second band from Costa Rica I’ve ever reviewed. Why sad? I just think it is, okay? Isn’t that enough? So Astriferous can be proud they’ve achieved the honor of second band from their home country on this very site. I mean that […]

71TONMAN – Of End Times (Absolute Funeral Sludge)
In spite of having one of the absolute worst band names I’ve ever heard of (seriously, come on guys wtf), 71TONMAN absolutely destroy, even though they bring it slow. Of End Times is my first exposure to their work, and, combining the drag of funeral doom combined with the edgier push of sludge, they […]

Infinity Pool (Murder Tourist Sci-Fi Horror Film)
Sometimes the fruit don’t fall far from the tree. After suffering through the career of Jennifer Chambers Lynch, it’s a high surprise that David Cronenberg’s son Brandon has arrived on the scene in such a rare talent, fully born and ready to kick ass. Possessor was loads of fun and very tough, but Infinity Pool kicks […]

Choo-Choo Charles (Not Quite How You Remembered Your Childhood Thomas the Tank Engine Simulator)
Thomas’ face always creeped me out as a child, those dead, beady eyes seemed a little too menacing. It seems as though I wasn’t the only person that believed this, because Choo-Choo Charles is childhood nightmare fuel cranked to 11 with a schlocky coat of paint, reminiscent of straight-to-Netflix classics like Zombeavers and Tucker […]

Ulthar – Anthronomicon (Abomination Metal)
Ulthar can do no wrong at this point, pretty sure about that. When we last encountered them I was thrilled by the music, but disgusted at the thematics, which were, ugh, Lovecraft BS; a theme far too many metal bands have milked dry until only blood remains, and you don’t even want any of […]
Abomination Hammer \ death grind \ Oregon \ Portland \ Profound Lore Records \ United States
Tithe – Inverse Rapture (Alzheimer’s Death Grind)
This is the kind of release that just makes me super happy. Just almost everything’s good about it, you know? You’ve got a cover that digs out your soul and chews it to bits, a spider-webbed logo you want to snuggle up in, a turning of religion on its head in a clever way […]

Lost Faith (Christian Vigilante Murder Revenge Action Film)
Sometimes you have to go with God to find enlightenment, and at those times expect bursts of genuine lunacy at all times. This is the grasp on the Christian faith as espoused by Joel Wynkoop, who kicks much ass as would-be man-of-action “Steve Nekoda” in the 1992 video violator Lost Faith. Steve and his impossibly […]
