Dripping Decay – Festering Grotesqueries (Truly Dripping Old School Death Metal)
Not much else to expect from a band naming themselves Dripping Decay, than, well, exactly that! I love it when artists immerse themselves in an idea, and these guys are completely covered in stuff that drips. Their logo drips, their artwork drips, and the music, yes, it drips. Their “mascot” is even named ‘Drippy,’ […]

Talia (Supernatural Extreme Splatter Smut)
Talia has been on my radar for a little while now. I’ve seen a few horror friends review it, and it’s featured on many people’s bookshelves. But for some reason, I just hadn’t picked it up, until now. And for the most part, I’m happy I did. Split into two parts, Volpe begins telling the […]

Porta Nigra – Weltende (Fin de siècle Black Metal)
Is there another way to say “this one blew me away?” Well that rhymed so start with that, I suppose. No, I shall not! I shall not! Now and again a promo is so accurate in its description of a band it’s immediately obvious you’re about to hit upon something unique. Focusing on fin […]

Blasphemous Fire – Beneath the Darkness (Blackened Occult Death Metal)
Damn this one’s got some power. Dark, bestial power. It doesn’t take long to realize it, either. I mean we got blasphemy and fire in just the band name! Jeez! Do you need more? Well, musically that’s going to be provided here as well, incinerating all your friend requests, former lovers, and family members […]

Irréversible (Reverse Order Rape Revenge Thriller)
Sooner or later, everything you know and love will be taken from you. When it happens, the only thing that separates you from everyone else is how you react. Do you suck up your pride and cry into your beer? Do you pack up and take matters into your own hands? Once you do, […]

Eternal Rot – Moribound (Zombified Grooving Death Doom)
Here’s a band that remains the same yet sounds…different? Explain this to me, boys. Having reviewed Eternal Rot’s last one, Putridarium, and seeing the same style of art by the same artist (Mark Riddick), I expected, naturally, more of the same. Zombified, grooving death and doom, that’s what I mean. Dripping. Slipping. Sticking? And […]

Djinn-Ghül – Opulence (Brutal Ethereal Death Metal)
This is almost something I wouldn’t have reviewed based on how it was introduced in the promo. The whole brutal death metal and slamming brutal death metal (is there a fooking difference, really?) is one of the most standardized concepts in the history of anything played with a guitar (heavily). And talk about redundant. […]

The Medium (Supernatural Psychic Dead World Survival Horror)
This one been around a bit, but the nice devs at Bloober Team sent me The Medium for review and, well, I sat on it awhile lol. About a year, maybe two? Luckily, the cloud version is dropping for Nintendo Switch tomorrow (June 29th), and now I can act like there’s something new to […]

Disimperium – Grand Insurgence Upon Despotic Altars (Volcanic Death Grind)
Crap has it really been three years since I reviewed something from Sentient Ruin Laboratories? Not sure how that happened… Sorry bro. Actually I don’t think I dug any of the art until now, and also also I was super behind on promos some months ago and basically just deleted everything to start tabula […]

Gateway – Galgendood (WOW Cavernous Death Doom)
Wow. I mean wow. Like wow. More like WOW. Shit. Transcending Obscurity promos are usually always a solid. But, as you know, I reserve reviews on this site for the best of the best. Curated refuse, as it were. Our efforts are, now and again, supremely rewarded. I remember listening to Gateway before, I […]
