Putrid Yell – Consuming Aberration (Chilean Crusted Death Metal)
Here’s some tasty pain and murder. I had a bunch of “eh, maybe” reviews to consider for this week, and then I thought to myself why? Just focus on the best, come on now! It’s good to be ahead anyway, and this one comes out in like three weeks or so. And another Chilean […]

Hot Graves – Plaguewielder (Blackened D-Beat Thrash Crust Wow)
Here’s an album I listen to one track of and I’m like “yep, this is good.” It’s one of those you know is straight up old-fashioned good and there’s no need to delve. Plus, Hot Graves has been at it quite awhile so shit better be good at this point! As usual, per our […]

Awakened in Blood (Depraved Monogamy Splatter Counseling)
A couple finds themselves in a group marriage counselling retreat, and ends up getting the sex and desire from their partner that they always wanted….the end? Not at all!! Awakened in Blood begins with a prologue that’s split into two, one section from 1893 and the other from 1994. What makes it fun is […]

ÚATH – S/T (Atmospheric Haunted Folk Drone)
Haven’t gotten a release like this in awhile. Actually, let’s change that to “a good release.” Folk of the dark variety can be an easy sell, at times, but it’s deceptive. Too folk and it lends itself a childish, “spooky” atmosphere that sounds more like background music during a Ravenloft sesh with only the […]

Asylum Pyre – Call Me Inhuman (Holy Trinity Power Metal for Those Who LARP)
Damn it if I don’t like this. Most power metal submissions I receive, well make that probably 99% of them, are passed upon. I can recall maybe 3 or 4 bands tops of this style that we’ve covered over the past decade. No joke. The power metal crowd can yell all it wants, you’re […]

The Unliving (Undead Army Horror Roguelite Not for Scrubs)
Ah here’s a nice roguelite, provided you’re not a mad sad bad scrub. I wasn’t aware of The Unliving until I saw it pop up on GeForce Now, and I was intrigued by the basic premise, as well as the awesome 16-bit Sqauresoft aesthetic. Be a necromancer? Sure! Who wouldn’t want to summon the […]

Bastard Grave – Vortex of Disgust (Brackish Swedish Death Metal)
This is the kind of album I’m going to refer to from now on as a “sinker.” It needed to sink on in there before I liked it, because to be honest, at first, it sounded like a million other promos I get every week. Okay so it’s only about 500, but still. That’s […]

Genocidal Rites – Exsanguination of the Gods (Barbaric Blackened Death Metal)
Any time you see art by Berkati Cakra, you know you’re in for a slammer. And this may be one of the most over-the-top images I’ve seen him craft. Here’s it fits the music so well it might be his best, and trust you me he’s done a lot of blasphemous necroworship. Just look […]

The Ritual of Death (Satanic Splatter Horror)
Sometimes the shiniest bits of gold are tucked away in the dirtiest pockets of soot and slime. This analogy works with certain gore films, especially the late-80’s work of prolific South American pornographer Fauzi Mansur. Little is known on these shores about Mansur yet the man enjoys a small but fervent cult following to […]

Verminous Serpent – The Malign Covenant (Blackened Death Folk)
Uh oh, tis a collab folks. Well this review started out bad, but this particular collab starts, and also ends, well. Consisting of various members of the Irish koovault wvndergrovnd, Verminous Serpent is new to death metal theatre with this first full-length. Whether or not it continues beyond The Malign Convenant is not a […]
