Délétère – De Horae Leprae (Canada’s Best Black Metal Band Do You Hear Me?)

Délétère – De Horae Leprae (Canada’s Best Black Metal Band Do You Hear Me?)

  That’s right, I’m going straight literal with the title to this review, because it’s true do you hear me? Don’t even bother tossing names of other Canadian black metal outfits at me, just don’t. Délétère is the only one I want to hear about from now on do you hear me? I actually reviewed a previous release by them […]

TRUCHŁO STRZYGI – Pora Umierać (Polish Death Smash Punk)

TRUCHŁO STRZYGI – Pora Umierać (Polish Death Smash Punk)

  Finally some punk I can legitimately review without feeling like I’m forcing it so this site seems diverse. Leave it to the Polish underground for it to happen, as typical punk submissions are too oiboi for me. Yes, there are also oigirls, but the term doesn’t have the rhyme pattern my exquisite reviewing skills demand, […]

My Big Sister (Soul-Crushing Reality-Infused Ghost Adventure)

My Big Sister (Soul-Crushing Reality-Infused Ghost Adventure)

  There’s been a surge in 16-bit styled games in the indie market, usually of the RPG variety since Squaresoft worship will never die. Was The Secret of Mana really that good? Remember one of the bosses was Santa Claus? Yeah, forget that game. Of course they released some pretty stellar titles otherwise, but were only one of several […]

Demise – De la Manipulación A la Ignorancia (Guerrilla Metal RETURNS)

Demise – De la Manipulación A la Ignorancia (Guerrilla Metal RETURNS)

  Anything from South America that is metal and has at least one mask-wearing member I like to now call “Guerrilla Metal,” because I feel like I’m soaking in a jungle and being shot upon by many machine guns. And I just can’t get enough of all of these bands referring to their following as “hordas.” […]

The Evil – S/T (Non-Evil, Mask-Wearing Doom Metal)

The Evil – S/T (Non-Evil, Mask-Wearing Doom Metal)

  I saw the masks and I wanted to enjoy this thoroughly. The cover, by Fernando Drowned of The Most Destructive Art, had me mask-loving, But, as it turns out I only enjoyed the music partially. There’s something less threatening about doomers wearing masks on stage than you find with blackened death metal or black […]

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K (Uber Yet Untermensch Anime)

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K (Uber Yet Untermensch Anime)

  Oh yeah anime time. Why you take so long? Unlike sites of trash, I finish a series before I review, imagine that. How can one judge an anime on one episode or one season, if there are more than one? Like video games, a few minutes is not enough. Please. You may consider, by looking […]

Construct of Lethe – Exiler (Pretentious Thesaurus Metal)

Construct of Lethe – Exiler (Pretentious Thesaurus Metal)

  So here’s the thing, Construct of Lethe know exactly what they are doing musically. And by that, I mean they have such a refined ear for composition, recording, and compelling melody. They don’t just stop at the melodic death metal drudge and drear and are clearly interested in pushing their sound into a musically […]

SIEGE COLUMN – INFERNO DEATHPASSION (New Jersey IN THE FLESH)

SIEGE COLUMN – INFERNO DEATHPASSION (New Jersey IN THE FLESH)

  I rarely specify where exactly a band is from in the US unless there’s some well-known association with a genre and particular area, city, or whatever. Also I guess that depends on state size, right? Like most people will just say Rhode Island instead of specifying a city, outside of the pretentious wonderland of […]

CASSETTE ASSAULT (Stuff I’ve Been Sitting Upon)

CASSETTE ASSAULT (Stuff I’ve Been Sitting Upon)

It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these, and that’s primarily because of a special app I’m seriously working on for the site where I can give some press to stuff I don’t review on in this way anymore. Bad art, or just ehhh releases, will all have their due eventually. Sometimes this […]

Taina – Seelenfresser (Industrial Metal Still Tries Lol)

Taina – Seelenfresser (Industrial Metal Still Tries Lol)

  I should have known before I started. Taina, I’m sorry, Seelenfresser was set to sprint, but it tripped immediately, shaken by the poof of the starting pistol. The 1990s are gone, friends, though we still worship them when we forget. What we tend to forget is the parts we actually aren’t nostalgic for at all. Here’s a […]
