Ulvik – Last Rites | Dire Omens (Mountainous 19th Century Blackened Folk Doom)
This one came in late, but there’s time, and I had to make time just glancing the cover. There’s a sense of history here, and sense of noticing details and remembering things forgotten. What appears a simple image of a rotting dog face, or something like that, is enclosed in a border only the […]

Alarm! – S/T (Outcasted Victimized Hardcore)
Oh hahha yes, what a great cover this has. Most hardcore I get for review is too old school to be called old school, meaning it sounds like nostalgic shit you should have wiped out of your ass years ago. When was Hatebreed relevant? 1995? Give that crud a flush with the people who […]

Hellbutcher – S/T (Covered in Spikes Blackened Speed Thrash)
Yes, hmm, yes. I must admit I was hesitant about this when I first heard of it. Having listened to Nifelheim extensively, and still on occasion, for many years, I, like many, lamented their disbandment in 2022. Though, let’s be real, it was technically years before that as releases slowed and we’d get a […]

Cannibal Apocalypse (Vietnam Cannibal Zombie Horror)
It’s always a good day when a highly underrated splatter classic hits 4K, and this month it’s Antonio Margheriti’s Cannibal Apocalypse letting loose compliments of Kino Lorber. Also known as Cannibals in the Streets and Invasion of the Flesh Hunters, this lean and mean dose of nastiness has been shocking audiences ever since its […]

Königreichssaal – Psalmen ‘O’ Delirium (Irreligious Medieval Blackened Doom)
Poland keeps pressing creativity to the limits of metal, let me tell you, case in point Königreichssaal. I could start with a number of things, but let me begin with the fact that the bassist is in his sixties and possibly the father of one of the younger chaps within this unholy trio. Why […]

Fractal Generator – Convergence (Experimental Blackened Math Metal)
Ah, this reminds me of how much I loved…calculus. You heard me right. I loved that complex combination of symbols that looked like fucking magic wards to the uninitiated. The fools! If only they understood the true depth of calc! So with a band referencing math that even PhDs have trouble explaining, and titling […]

Ensuring Your Place in Hell 2 (It Just Gets Worse Extreme Splatter Horror)
Oh Jesus Christ. Just oh God. I called to the Lord so many times reading this and I’m not even religious. I managed to give some summaries of the first collection, talking about which was the best (can you really used best when it’s violently gross?) but this time…I just can’t. If you have any […]

Spiter – Enter the Gates of Fvcking Hell (Still True Vampyric Metalpunk)
Well, let’s see if the link to this one with the slightly altered title will make it through the censors lol. Because Spiter would most certainly not use a V in the place of a U. Since the lead is from Shitfucker, I mean, come on. However, though the laughs of that band are […]

Altar of Gore – Litanies of the Unceasing Agonies (Savagely Putrid Death Metal)
Is this another case of “yep, that kind of band” or “yep, that kind of album?” In some ways, but not all, I’m very pleased to state. Altar of Gore is a fairly established member of the New Jersey disgusting metal scene, which is filled with horrid rejects like Blasphematory. Said scene is rather […]

Perish (Dark Mythological FPS)
I wish I didn’t wait so long to check this one out, hot damn. Actually, scratch that, after a one-year anniversary update, it’s probably good I did. Released over a year ago, this indie dark mythological FPS horror romp was received to largely negative criticism. We won’t go over what or why. And it’s […]
