Fiend – Seeress (Doompth Metal)
Yo I just came up with a new term: "doompth metal." At first read that sounds horrible, like a new taunt. You doompthus! That, another new word, is definitely a taunt, but doompth is not, sometimes. Okay let me be honest here it kind of is. Truth be told it's all I could come […]

Apparition (Actually Scary Ouija Ghost Hunt)
Okay this game freaked me out. When Fat Dog Games first told me about Apparition after I contacted them about a different game, I was disinterested because of how pathetic the theme seemed but I figured eh free play, review, move on. I was wrong. So very wrong and so very scared. Who would […]

Balcony (Self-Loathing Identity Collapse)
Phew, this one is a killer. Man... Balcony is one of those films that doesn't tell you much about its real meaning until the ending. You think you got it all worked out. You're sure of it. This is a touching glimmer of hope in all the human garbage, you think, and then it […]
Besta – Eterno Rancor (Crust Metal Capitalism)
Yet another example of a book judged properly by its banking account. Marco Donida probably listened to Eterno Rancor as many times as I did, because I myself certainly thought of crucified snake Jesuses, a meth lab with a floating brain, a skeleton sycophant wading in toxic waste and refugee vomit with a bayoneted […]

Pandemic Express (Mosquito Mutant Tag With Assassin Mimes)
Talk about some deceptive wording. Pandemic Express is billed with the word "zombie" thrown about but zombies there are none though escape plenty. I'm not sure why everyone latched onto it as a "zombie" thing when it stands perfectly fine on its own feet if you're into mutant insect people, but I suppose for […]

The Spadina House (Lol Victorian Superpowers)
Goddamn I can't stop laughing at this. And that probably makes you think I hate it, but in actuality it's something else, trust me. The Spadina House proved quite difficult to review because it's rather simple to blow its cover in a second (I actually did already, you just didn't notice), so I'm conflicted […]

Omgeving – Wijde Wijdte (Honestly Impressionistic Metal)
Now here's a guy who knows exactly what he's about all...the...time. Honestly not sure I do, however. Look at that cover by Polish tatoo artist Kuba Kujawa. Seriously look at it. Do you know what's going on there? You might think so at first. Now the band name, Omgeving, is Dutch for "surroundings" and […]

Do No Harm (Hippocratic Slaughter Oath)
God this is such a great film. I knew it was going to be, there was no way a doctor standing with a depressed glare at the camera, covered in blood whilst holding a scalpel, was going to be anything but graphic (and thus very good). That stare got me sold. But what sold […]

Agony Unrated (Real Hell Game Will Offend)
I've played some pretty vile games throughout my life. Hell, I can remember when gore first became a "thing" in games, or at least was made more visible by offended parents complaining about it. I've seen video game filth evolve from the most primitive to the most graphic and real. So what I'm saying […]

Great Falls – A Sense of Rest (Post-Prefix Hardcore)
There was something to this one I couldn't find the adjectives to explain, and then it came to me, just choose a prefix or two, though I'll focus on "un." Unengaging, ungood, see how easy? Let me explain further so it's more unclear. Post-hardcore goes in one of two directions: interesting or uninteresting. The […]
