Finland \ hardcore punk \ new wave punk \ Svart Records \ Ville Pirinen
Man I’m pretty sure this is something Google Translate is not going to get properly, so I’m not even going to embarrass myself with a translation of either one, the band’s name, or two, the album title. Let’s just let Finnish punk filth words lie as they are. The same applies to this band’s […]
atmospheric death metal \ Australia \ Bitter Loss Records \ brutal death metal \ Giannis Nakos \ Remedy Art Design
A church burning in a more artistic way on the cover? Methinks me interested. Oh, and wait, these chaps are from Australia? Oooo, there’ve been some good things in death metal, methinks, coming out of that island of terrors for some time now, so it’s worth a listen for that fact alone. Australian death […]
Canada \ Didier Normand \ filth metal \ Funeral Hymns Records \ Hells Headbangers \ old school death metal
Still trying to figure out what in the hell this album title even means. Like you never shall do something (probably important) and like you’re going into that, I think? Christ don’t leave me guessing at this esoteric shit! WTF. Thankfully, I don’t have to think about much else when it comes to Expunged. […]
Florida death metal \ Godz Ov War Productions \ Johny Prayogi \ Memento Mori \ Miami \ old school death metal \ Unholy Prophecies
Oh great, here we have some more old school death metal. Can you take any more? Can I? Well, if it’s stuff like Miami Florida-based Hexorcist, then the answer is actually yes, believe it or not. But what does this type of sound entail? I could drop names to make it clear, but for […]
Armageddon Label \ blackened punk \ hardcore punk \ Joe BB \ Sweden
Gawsh finally some more hardcore punk ass shit for me to review that got me pretty EXcited. Enough that I decided to EXpress myself by capitalizing two letters for some reason in some sick attempt to verify my own EXistence. Can you blame me? I was getting sick of all the trash I receive […]
Caligari Records \ death doom \ Fred Grabosky \ Massachusetts
Well here’s a repulsive crusher I can utilize to summon various references to awful things of the human body. I figured with the dejected lump of grief flesh on the cover it would be so, but sometimes you don’t know. Cover art is only the beginning of the journey, never the end. Featuring two […]
Canada \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ psychotic death metal \ war metal \ Zach Smith
So I was in the mood for some absolutely bestial, war-torn, tortuous death metal today and wow here I get some psychotic stuff instead (that’s better). Canadian pummel lords Malgöth are one of those random Iron Bonehead releases that just came out of frikken nowhere. Though at least one of the members has an […]
Canada \ crossover \ death thrash \ Hammerheart Records \ Nalle Mielonen \ Petrichor
Oh my god… Oh god. OH GOD. OMG. HOLY SHIT OMG. Please more! Please! I mean I could get into some sex talk here about this one but Video Nasty is too good for that kind of low-brow criticism analogy. But seriously OMG holy shit give it to me. When I see anyone referencing […]
blackened death metal \ Chile \ Godz Ov War Productions \ Igor Datkiewicz \ war metal \ WS Artworks
Woah boy is this good. Yep, it will murder you. Yet another killer release to add to the “Chilean blackened freaks” category I’ve found much delight in in the past decade. What are the other bands I can recall? Who cares, because this is MFin Black Ceremonial Kult fools, so let’s stay focused on […]
Chile \ dark fantasy metal \ heavy metal \ High Roller Records \ Velio Josto
This is such a pleasant release. I’m not sure how else to begin except by saying WTF do you want? Take a band from Chile, which named themselves after a Larry Niven book (and were not the first to do it), toss in fantasy, sci-fi generalities, and old school heavy metal, and you get […]
