Black Shell Media \ card games \ Card Quest \ like where's the save feature man \ old school \ RPG \ strategy \ video games \ WinterSpring Games
In case you didn’t notice, Deaf Sparrow has dabbled in video game critique before, I just wanted to think about the best direction to take, and based on my current music review output, it made the most sense to focus on up-and-coming developers with a small amount of press, as well as games that fit […]
Álex Tedín \ apologoethia \ Barcelona \ black metal \ death metal \ go Spain go \ Invictus Productions \ Spain \ wow Spain wow
This is not the first time I’ve encountered amazing things from out of Spain. In fact I think this is like the shmillionth time this year. I want to just be good friends with any band from the country playing black or death metal. I’ve made several successful attempts to befriend such bands because, recently, […]
Alexandre Goulet \ Canada \ hardcore \ Hopeless Youth \ post-hardcore \ post-punk \ punk
Here we go, oh yes. Time for the next product, or I should say “ritual”, for you to purchase. That’s right, like you, I thrive on money and something like fame. Actually it’s just fake, but the money isn’t, and don’t forget any profits I get go straight to the band! I keep only production […]
crust punk \ death metal \ EXPANDER \ Luca Carey \ make me computer please \ neuropunk \ Nuclear War Now! Productions \ post-punk
I want to see more damn computers in underground music. I don’t mean computers as instruments, we’ve had that awhile, I mean computers for aesthetics. It’s time we begin to embrace our computer lives and accept that, yes, the machines are coming and will take over, and what better way than music that speaks of this coming […]
8-year-old art \ blackened death metal \ Cadaveric Incubator \ death metal \ Finland
Okay, everyone, it’s time to wake the hell up. Get up! Out of your beds! Out of work! Stop whatever you’re doing right the hell now and listen to some death metal crud. I just wanted something I didn’t have to think about today. I’ve been doing too much thinking, and that can lead to bad things […]
camp \ darkwave \ electronica \ film \ horror \ like experience the world man \ Milan Records \ movie \ Nicolas Winding Refn \ noir \ soundtrack \ synthwave \ The Neon Demon \ vampires
Some people think I’m too slow. What’s the point of reviewing something if it was released months ago? Well, I actually analyze what I review, and that takes time, and hey, who doesn’t mind a publicity push after the fact? I can fly through albums pretty quickly, but for films and video games, there’s more […]
baby sacrifice \ California \ death metal \ Marald van Haasteren \ Necrot \ Tankcrimes
I guess since the 1980s set the standard with baby slaying imagery, we need to keep that going so anyone just getting into death metal knows what it is. It doesn’t bother me, no, I just sometimes would prefer deathers come up with new themes, because I pretty much chose this one for the aesthetics […]
black metal \ France \ Heir \ I love these guys \ Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions \ post-black metal \ suicidal black metal
I swear if this label ever sends me anything bad the world is going to end that particular day. Les Acteurs de L’Ombre Productions is, again, the absolute heir of all that was the kingdom of black metal in France. Since its inception in 2009, I have never failed to be amazed by the label’s output. It’s the only […]
atmospheric \ Chicago \ doom metal \ Drug Honkey \ experimental \ Paolo Girardi \ Transcending Obscurity
Doom metal is a genre close to collapse, I’m more and more sure of it. It has as much redundancy currently as NY hardcore and baby boomer punk, so think about it, do you really want to keep listening to it? It’s far too hesitant to change when change is needed, and far too comfortable […]
Abhordium \ Babalon Gracphis \ black metal \ Finland \ sorry Finntroll \ the Finns are back
Something is up in Finland I‘m telling you right now. It’s like everyone was so sick of the mockery that is Finntroll that locals realized they needed to step it up, and instead of using gimmicks, they started to write actual music. Music you can never laugh at, music that breaks barriers, such as the recent one […]
