The Case of the Golden Idol (Gruesome Deaths Point-and-Click Detective Game)
The Case of the Golden Idol is in the style of point and click adventures from the early 2000s mixed with a modern macabre flair akin to the likes of Return of the Obra Dinn. It asks you to be the detective with as little hand-holding as possible, throwing you into a world with […]

The Satan Killer (Thrift Store Mulleted Death Machine Action Thriller Junk)
Sometimes hitting the video shelves at your local Goodwill/Thrift Store of your choice or the farthest reaches of the Internet is like the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser. You either wind up completely peeled or discover a new form of chocolate stroke you never knew existed. This month, we’ll be diving into the discount bin […]

Bleak Faith: Forsaken (Medieval Cyberpunk Dystopian Git Gud Soulslike)
Let me say something before I really begin here. This isn’t a game, it’s an experience. If you do a quick search you’ll undoubtedly find out about the jank, read a number of complaints, poor journalism in relationship to game assets from Epic, and other nonsense. But let’s get to what Bleak Faith: Forsaken […]

Hexvessel – Polar Veil (Dark Forest Occult Folk Rock)
I don’t think I’ve seen many bands with as diverse a discography as Hexvessel. Billed as a variety of things such as occult folk and dark forest rock, this quartet from Finland have been crafting amazing sounds for years now, including godlike artists in their work such as Chelsea Wolfe, but even without these […]

Rorcal – Silence (18th Century Post-Sludgecore Artistry)
Had some really bad promos this month. I almost settled a few times, almost did it, I swear to God I almost did. But I will not! I…WILL…NOT! Glad I abstained, because the new one here from Switzerland’s Rorcal is exactly what I was waiting for. No more compromising! I can’t believe I got […]

The Comfy-Cozy Nihilist: A Handbook of Dark Fiction (Short-Form Life Sucks Splatter Fiction)
Having always been a big fan of short story collections, I knew when I saw this available to read I would make fast work of it and most likely love it. Don’t get me wrong, there are times when a story just doesn’t work in short form and needs more than a few pages […]

Carathis – The Haunting of Sablewood (Spooky Tube Sock Black Metal)
Holy shit what in the hell was this guy doing before this point? I mean, hey, I appreciate some of the genre-mashing Carathis was engaging in in his dark past, but this, I mean this is truly something else. Hell, last time I reviewed a band from Austria was like three years ago and […]

Undergang – De syv stadier af fordærv (Death Metal Sewage)
For some reason I never got into these guys until this EP. Perhaps they were too messy, their production too hollow, their approach too typical if you’ve heard gore metal style already, I really don’t know. I don’t have an excuse really, sorry. But hey, now I’m on board so that’s cool. Things picked […]

Signalis (I’m So Confused Yet So Entertained Survival Horror)
This is why Deaf Sparrow exists. To find these hidden indie gems that knock the socks off of the tired, repetitive crap coming from AAA developers today. Signalis feels familiar, yet utterly unique in it’s execution thanks to its not-so-subtle nods to survival horror of yore, and excellently confusing story, and frankly breathtaking worldbuilding […]

Baxaxaxa – De Vermis Mysteriis (Cleaner and Meaner Anguished Black Metal)
Goddamn it I just love Baxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaaaa but man I just can’t spell their name right still! I reviewed these guys before and it’s still a goddamn problem! Jeez! I have to check it or cut-and-paste every…single…time. Well, if anything, at least they’re back with another full-length instead of dipping back into obscure mists, and, […]
