Firtan – Ethos (Philosophical Black Metal)
Hooo boy this was sure to be glorious. Let’s pretend we’ve heard of Firtan before, collectively. Now that that’s covered, consider the cover it self, a beautiful rendition of feminine spirit and strength in the face of suffering, by the ever-dark Nona Limmen. Even such a selection for the visuals speaks volumes of the […]

Longlegs (Satanically Inclined Arthouse Crime Thriller)
Longlegs has been one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2024, and it’s well worth the wait. Granted, I didn’t have to wait as long as I saw an advanced screening at the Aero Theater in Los Angeles at the end of May, complete with an introduction by director Osgood Perkins and star […]

Vomitrot – Emetic Imprecations (Death Barf)
Yes, it’s barf time fools! This is great, I was looking for some awesome death barf recently but nothing was doing it for me. Specifically because the riffs, and most certainly the vocals, were not reaching far enough to the back of my mouth to incite the gag reflex. If it can’t get in […]

Pneuma Hagion – From Beyond (Texas Twang Blackened Death Metal)
Putting one’s name in another language, especially one of the original Holy Languages, is scary. I’m shaking already from Pneuma Hagion, whose usage of “holy spirit” as their name sounds actually threatening when placed into the Greek. And, daimn, you tossed in some fecking William Blake art on top of that? This is truly […]

Feed (Retro Pixel Vampire Shotgun Survival Horror)
I’ve played some underground video games to review on this site, but let me tell you, Feed, by Rosaceae Games, is probably the most underground you’re going to get. This is beyond kvlt. This is so underground it’s not even sure if it itself exists. It’s so under the radar it’s registering in the […]

Magick (NSFW Magic Demon Brothel Horror)
Anyone who’s read my reviews knows how highly I rate Judith Sonnet. Not only an amazing person, but an absolute prolific writer who sends out banger after banger into the universe. Magick was written in 10 days, and to me that just tells you how amazing a writer must be when 10 days worth […]

Evil Dead Trap / 死霊の罠 (Experimental J-Horror Slasher)
Here’s a good one, but not for reasons you’d likely guess. Having heard the legends of the “Evil Dead Trap Trilogy” (is it really though?), I was always curious about them, but not until I learned that 88 Films was doing their own Blu-ray drop of the first and second did I decide I […]

Mourners Lament – A Grey Farewell (Loss-Ridden Symphonic Funeral Doom)
I needed some deep-seated, depressive power this week. Not sure why that was, but be it as it may, here we have another Chilean masterwork to satiate that inner desire. What’s going on in Chile, I ask? I keep getting masterpieces of practically every metal genre flowing out of the country, and add to […]

L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres – Funesta Epifania (Metaphyiscally Epic Dark Dungeon Synth)
Big band name equals big ideas. So says Catalonia’s L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres (damn, super long), who summon up the spirits of their ancestors in an effort to create epic, dark dungeon synth with their debut, Funesta Epifania. Clashing swords in the dark mountains with the sun behind them, can this […]

Defacement – Duality (Blackened Experimental Blackened Black Metal)
You just know with some things. You just know with some people. You just know with some books. You just know with some bands. This is a “I just know” example, Duality, the latest from Netherlands’ Defacement. Dutch metal can be goddamn weird at times, to the level that it becomes its own genre. […]
