The Atrocity Exhibit – Extinction Solution (I Will Buy The Shirt)

  Yeah you know this site, we rip on grindcore something fierce. Not sorry. Usually the trash we get is not just trash, it’s the oozing bile sinking to the bottom of the trash. No, it’s lower than that, it’s the blackened stench you can’t even see that emanates from that foul liquid and not even […]

Upgrade (Death Wish + Linux = )

Upgrade (Death Wish + Linux = )

  Upgrade is the second film by the Australian Leigh Whaddel, a co-creator of the Saw franchise. Thankfully this film represents a movement away from Whaddel’s earlier gory shenanigans and is a venture into the holiest of holies: science fiction. As opposed to exploring a world where a pig mask wearing grandpa gets hard from […]

Sacral Rage – Beyond Celestial Echoes (Spacey Speed)

  Lol, spacey speed, you like that? Good because we’re going to keep this trip to the stars going. Greek speed/thrash space bandits Sacral Rage I’ve only heard from whispers in the galaxy and barely a solar tendril of their sound has ever come to my ears until Beyond Celestial Echoes. The album has received […]

Heads for the Dead – Serpent’s Curse (Super Group Stuff)

Heads for the Dead – Serpent’s Curse (Super Group Stuff)

  Yeah that’s the best I had to describe this one, “super group stuff,” because I wanted highlight that when a group is referred to as “super” it often precludes a positive review. You set anything up as so damn super and it’s more inevitable it will fail due to its assumption of superiority. Luckily […]

Kontrakt (Schizophrenic Hitman Adrenaline Slaughter)

Kontrakt (Schizophrenic Hitman Adrenaline Slaughter)

  I was always fascinated by the hitman life, or is it better to say hit-person? Anyway it’s not like I know a hitperson or anything but that total disregard for the line between life and death must be a dark place. And for a morality-crushing, dark video game, playing such a creature as the […]

Essenz – Manes Impetus (Pandering Black Metal)

Essenz – Manes Impetus (Pandering Black Metal)

  Manes Impetus, the latest from Berlin, Germany’s Essenz, is nearly an hour long which is fine if the goal is to produce a musical journey encapsulating the musical anguish of the forebears, artistic sadism, and creative passions. Aesthetic value 10/10, but we don’t score like that here whoops. This one progresses through some fairly […]

Woebegone Obscured – The Forestroamer (So EPIC It Goddamn Hurts)

Woebegone Obscured – The Forestroamer (So EPIC It Goddamn Hurts)

  Just look at that goddamn sick cover. Man, I don’t know what in the world a forestroamer is, but I want to be one. I want to be one with the nature and the trees with moss dripping all from me. The artist, Artem Demura, aka Stargrave, was the perfect fit for Woebegone Obscured, […]

Blue My Mind (Little Mermaid Body Horror)

Blue My Mind (Little Mermaid Body Horror)

  The “coming of age” theme has been exploited in so many films over the years that I’d probably have a brain aneurysm in the process of trying to name them all. Cynical elitism aside, however, at times a healthy dash of artistic flair combined with strong cinematography can give even the most cliched of […]

Bonehunter – Children of the Atom (Some Sort of Metal)

Bonehunter – Children of the Atom (Some Sort of Metal)

  Woah WTF so we got this new update to the site backend and I have no idea what I’m looking at… Hey, kind of like the latest from Bonehunter, Children of the Atom, so that works out better than I expected. I mean look at that great cover by Joe Petagno. I have no idea what it […]

Ill Omen – The Grande Usurper (Okkvlt Black Metal Ritvalz)

  Here we have the latest release by occult black metal mystery Ill Omen, who hails from New South Wales, Australia. The Grande Usurper was released on Iron Bonehead Productions, well known for all that is underground kvlt for superior provincials. And if you’re reading this well that’s you, whose expected metal offerings demand the occult and […]
