Torture Rack – Primeval Onslaught (Better Than Good Enough Death Metal)
These past two weeks I’ve had a bunch of “eh, good enough” death metal promos to sort through. And you know what? I don’t have time for that anymore! I don’t want “good enough,” especially not with “eh,” I want better than good enough! I want at least almost better than that! The best […]

Aodon – Portraits (Emotional Atmospheric Black Metal)
Again I’m convinced only the French can pull this style off as well as they do. People always rip on French stereotypes, and maybe there’s occasionally some truth in it, but if there’s one stereotype of which they should be proud, it’s their absolute mastery of emotional, atmospheric black metal. I mean jeez every […]

Barotrauma (Claustrophobic Navigational Incompetence Simulator)
Barotrauma is nothing if not claustrophobic. From the fact that your characters’ heads are mere inches from the ceiling, to the tiny control rooms sectioned off by manually operated doors, you’re instantly set with a sense of dread. A sense of unknown vastness for you to explore in this flimsy, tiny little claustrophobic pillbox. […]

Kvad – So Old (Raw Blackened Noise Metal)
Uh oh a black metal band from Norway? Will this be, perhaps, trite? If you see it on this site you know that’s never the case anymore! We don’t bother with negative reviews because if it’s not the best then screw it. We curate, we barely elaborate, that’s the standard. Kvad is much different […]

Leathürbitch – Shattered Vanity (Leathery Sleaze Metal)
With a name like Leathürbitch there are no secrets to be purged. No past wrongs that need to be expunged. No lies to be forgiven, no mistakes. If one is to combine the leather with anything, it’s outright sleaze and there’s no coming back from the path. There is no guilt, no shame, only […]

The Scarlet Worm (Abortion Brothel Revenge Western)
Normally, I have a policy not to review movies made by friends and acquaintances because I actually value the people in my life and it would suck if I wrote a bad review and lost a good friend in the process. That said, I’m glad to be breaking company policy today because The Scarlet […]

Pa Vesh En – Martyrs (Nihilistic Raw Black Metal)
When just the cover of an album makes you think of self-harm, you know it’s going to be absolutely devastating. To the heart, to the soul, to your mind, to everything and everyone you know and love. Never have I felt as much self-loathing as I did listening to Martyrs. I wanted to lay […]

Sporae Autem Yuggoth – … However It Still Moves (Supernatural Death Doom)
When I see dot dot dot, I expect big things. Illegible logos, forget it, that’s meaningless these days. What I want is that dot dot dot. It implies depth of feeling, lamentation, thoughts of mortality… Now, however, at the same time, I don’t want that to including frikken thoughts on Lovecraft. For the love […]

The Final Gate (Giallo Zombie Horror)
Having never seen a Lucio Fulci movie, I feel like I went into this book with a fresh set of eyes. The authors make it clear at the start that they take huge inspiration from the director, and his films influence this book hugely. The Final Gate sets the pace early; it’s very quick […]

Vomitheist – NekroFvneral (Morbid Vomit Metal)
Man once that sick bass hits there’s not much else to say. “This is going to be great” would suffice. Obsessed with all things morbid, Switzerland’s Vomitheist have some of the greatest song titles and shirt designs I’ve ever seen. Everything about them is like a pile of guts. Just a big mess of […]
