biofreaks \ dinosaurs \ first-person shooter \ FPS \ gore \ horror \ like you get all the three best tags ever in one game \ Ominous Entertainment \ Steam \ video game \ video games \ zombies
You know, when I first caught some pics of Defense: Abominations I expected an entry-level first-person shooter (FPS) effort from some Eastern European cyberflunk who can barely hack his own email. What I found was more of a mid-grade network spy who can almost hack this site’s email but gives up because he’s in the middle of programming […]
black metal \ blackened death metal \ Blood Harvest Records \ CAPS SATAN \ death metal \ Helter Skelter Productions \ Rhode Island \ satan \ Satan metal \ WITCH KING
Sometimes the stupid titles I come up with sound more condescending than they actually are. They’re more congenial, at times, like this time. I mean, come on, can’t we at least question the Satan thing in metal once in awhile? Just once I’d like to see someone or some band do something a little more […]
Canada \ doom metal \ electronic fart \ funeral doom \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Malsanctum \ the other way \ two-minutes to the funeral
Well, here it is, likely the first time something from Iron Bonehead Productions actually depresses me in the other way. I prefer the “why does the human race exist?” type of depression, but this is more of a “why was this album released?” sadness. Now, please pause, for I have already started this on an […]
chainsaws abound \ film \ gore \ horror \ like woah chainsaw duel \ Mandy \ movie \ Panos Cosmatos \ RLJE Films
Panos Cosmatos is a name that should definitely be known to fans of more off-the-wall cinema. Boosting up an undeniably old-school touch with modern cinematography and sound techniques, the young Canadian director should have been on indie film fans’ radar already his dazzling Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010). In 2018, he’s back again with […]
Kobold \ Serbia \ speed metal \ thrash metal \ Željko Manojlović
Welcome Serbia’s Kobold and their Death Parade, 15 tracks of ass-blistering, face-melting, dick-scalding, heart-burning, finger-gnashing, teeth-crushing, curb-stomped, methhead speed metal. The things I like about Kolbold’s take on the old is that it doesn’t stray from the path of what has come before. The cover by Željko Manojlović is very 80’s with those Big Brother, […]
Blood Harvest Records \ death metal \ death thrash \ everything is burning \ Helter Skelter Productions \ Maligner \ Regain Records \ screw the vote \ Sweden \ thrash metal \ we hate voting here shut up
Lol this is such a goddamn fitting album to review today, it really is. If you’re not aware, this site is so apolitical you’ll swear off any potential party affiliation or political worldview immediately. Keep that crap out of here, unless it’s to start flame wars in the comments so the site gets more hits. […]
Andrii Vintsevych \ FPS \ horror \ scary \ Steam \ unstupid witch references \ video game \ witch
Boy I struggled to figure out some sort of synonym for ‘hunt’ to title this, and ‘pursuit’ is all I had for today, but it’s rather fitting for Witch Hunt. I wish I was a bit smarter while writing this, but I’ve had a long month of job interviews, conferences, and things other than playing […]
blackened death metal \ Crawl \ death metal \ hooded death metal \ Jonas Holmberg \ Swedeath \ Sweden \ Transcending Obscurity Recrds
I feel like I’ve been getting a lot of Swedish metal the past few months. Actually, it’s probably more than I’ve noticed it since it’s been pretty damn good in general. I really need to stop with the italics joke, so let’s see if I can make it through the rest of this. Really I don’t need […]
black metal \ Brandon Guerts \ Caroline Harrison \ cassette \ Crowhurst \ Crown and Throne Ltd. \ experimental black metal \ Gnaw Their Tongues \ horse pig dragon \ noise \ noise metal \ Tartarus Records \ vinyl
When I first heard Gnaw Their Tongues I had no idea what to appreciate or what the fuck I was listening to. My feeble mind wasn’t ready to abandon the glittery world of shred guitar solos, crushing breakdowns, and pig squeals. But Gnaw Their Tongues always stuck with me and I know it was […]
graveyard stuff \ Lazy Bear Games \ medieval \ not much graves though I'm sorry to say \ sim \ Steam \ tinyBuild \ video game sim \ video games
See how clever this site is with colloquialisms? I took that “early grave” idiom and applied it to this game right here about cemeteries! So clever! More clever than Graveyard Keeper, in fact, as much as that fact pulls the bones from my body and places them in the wrong tomb. That’s right, I’m not going […]
