Nachts – Privileg (Pre or Perhaps Post-Suicidal Black Metal)
What in the hell kind of horrid past did this guy have? I knew I was going to get more sadness out of this than I bargained for, but holy hell guy, what did life do to you?! I have a penchant for the more emotional veins of black metal, depending on how it’s […]

Caustic Phlegm – Putrefying Flesh (Putrid Intestinal Leak Death Metal)
There’s not much one needs to do to describe a band called Caustic Phlegm. They’re going to be caustic, and there’s going to be much phlegm expelled. The Xerox rot cover further exemplifies the sputum. With as short as I can be on descriptions, this release itself is short, being a reissued demo on […]

Wizordum (True Retro Fantasy FPS)
Golddang it this is sher fun. I don’t know why I started like that… But, what’s done is done and it’s time we moved on to Wizordum, indie fantasy FPS from Emberheart Games where hyuck stereotyped countryspeak doesn’t make any sense. I first got a glimpse of this one via some GIFs I saw […]

The Primevals (The Lost Stop-Motion Sci-Fi Legend)
We can finally all rest in peace, with smiles on our faces. The story of The Primevals is long, though quite interesting. The brainchild of David Allen (RIP), known for his stop motion work on a variety of films, including the original Puppet Master (1990) and odd stints doing animation sequences for others, even […]

Mouth (Living Hole in the Ground Horror)
Did I ever think I’d read a monster story, about a hole in the ground, with layers of teeth that had different purposes, a mind of its own, and could communicate with his people by rumbling the ground? If you’d have asked me before I read this, the answer would’ve been most definitely not. […]

Scavenger – Beyond the Bells (Genre-Defining Female-Fronted Heavy Metal)
I am so sick of hearing about goddamn Savage Master. Just stfu. They’re so goddamn overrated it makes me rage to the point of quitting existence. I’m not even sure how the fandom started, but what’s the point, because by now you’re probably wondering why I’m going on a tirade about a band not […]

DEVASTATIÖN – Rise of the Dead (Blackened Punk Thrash Beyond Your Dreams)
Holy hell is this good. I mean my blood is still boiling hours later. I want to punch something, hard. Having never heard of Belgium’s DEVASTATIÖN before this, though they’ve been dishing out releases since 2007 and…now wait a minute… Yes, nevermind! I do remember these guys, but their album Pussy Juice Blues just […]
Charles Martin Smith \ horror musical \ Synapse Films
Trick or Treat (Resurrected Horror Musical)
After a long gestation period and serious time spent in Rights Hell, Charles Martin Smith’s Trick or Treat is finally getting a new US release compliments of our buddies at Synapse Films. In an unprecedented move by Synapse, the company has chosen to “leak” their new transfer a full year ahead of release date […]

Dödsrit – Nocturnal Will (Melancholic Blackened Metalpunk)
What an interesting combination of genres this one is, but regardless, musically, it has one of the most emotional presentations I’ve ever seen out of anything going that “blackened” route. Pause, like the armored knight above, and take a breath before you listen. Sweden’s Dödsrit have been releasing full-lengths since 2017, this being their […]

Lustmord – Much Unseen is Also Here (Deific Dark Ambient Drone)
What hasn’t been said about living myth Lustmord? Around since 1980 and with connections to practically every important industrial, experimental, etc. act since then and before, there’s little I can add to the mix that will make him feel more godly. In the hordes of mere mortals bowing to his aural vistas I’m barely […]
