Altarage \ Bilbao \ blackened death metal \ death metal \ Doomentia Records \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Sentient Ruin Laboratories \ Sol Y Nieve \ Spain
Altarage – Nihil
Oh how we dread our submissions, oh how we loathe the endless messages, the letters (yes some people still write those), the pages upon pages of words soon forgotten in this escapist novel we turn called email. The density can be overwhelming, never-ending, so repetitive it’s scarcely possible to give more than a moment to […]
Against All Odds Productions \ BDSM \ grind \ grindcore \ Pink Mass \ total sex fest
Pink Mass – Slvt Kvlt
We went on a bit of a tirade against grindcore on Facebook the other day, and it was justified. Grindcore over the past decade has sunk into a swamp of humor in order to hide terrible musicianship. You’re probably laughing we used the word “musicianship” within this discussion, but seriously, we can’t take it anymore. […]
black metal \ Canada \ duck black metal \ dusktone \ post-black metal \ Stellar Descent \ wait WTF seriously?
Stellar Descent – …fading…
What is a risk? The easy answer is something, anything, where one takes a chance equaling failure or reward. The complex answer is either possibility is due to the application of the idea itself. What do we mean? Well, let’s elaborate. In these times when music is so easy to create, not necessarily well, and […]
Aderlating \ all of that \ Black Plagve Productions \ dark industrial \ death industrial \ horror \ Maurice De Jong \ Mories \ terror
Aderlating – Hell Follows
One has to wonder if composers from the classical period were alive, what exactly would they be doing? If they were born in the modern era, where would they be today? What kind of music would they be making? Avoid things of the popular, its analogies are fruitless, because in spite of what that music […]
apply cold water \ Brazil \ Caligari Records \ cassette \ crust \ Disterror \ doom \ doom metal \ funeral \ Heavydeath \ Jupiterian \ Label Exposed \ Lung Molde \ Mexico \ stoner \ The Unquiet Grave \ thrash
Label EXPOSED – Caligari Records
Well, it’s been awhile since we did one of these, in fact back before the new site became active, so it has to have been about three or four years now. And what a fitting reunion! We have here, that’s right, a label exposure for Caligari Records, owned and run by the former owner/editor of […]
Aluk Todolo \ France \ living black hole \ Norma Evangelium Diaboli \ occult rock \ The Anja Offensive
Aluk Todolo – Voix
It’s impossible to find a proper way of starting this, but others have tried, with pathetic results. Calling Aluk Todolo, direct quote, “an autistic version of Wolves in the Throne Room” is offensive. Not to the autistic, or to Wolves in the Throne Room, but to music criticism. That was the best you could do? […]
France \ Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions \ like seriously why are they so very good \ post-black metal \ post-hardcore \ Regarde les Hommes Tomber
Regarde les Hommes Tomber – Exile
Some people consider us elusive, others bizarre and unnecessary. Whatever we may be, we always make sure to regard the worst with the most foully derisive of language, and the best with the most confusing of personal journeys through minds that, strangely, have never touched a single narcotic. Writers who amaze with their unusual prose […]
Chicago \ Immortal Bird \ interview \ just awesome stuff man come on answer our cool questions
Interview with Immortal Bird (We Like Those Vocals)
If you haven’t noticed, we tend to interview bands with the biggest impact on our tastes, or those who seem to be pushing boundaries that need a good pushing, or shoving, or punching in the kidneys. Problem is, no matter the band, it all depends on whether or not they finish the damn questions in […]
dark ambient \ Infinite Fog Productions \ Ksenza Records \ Russia \ Stuzha \ totally cold beyond belief
Stuzha – Butugichag
Perfect timing for this, what with all of the cold creeping in and killing everything. Today the temperature dropped low enough to freeze puddles, and the pleasant sound of fracturing earth was welcome, but still, it’s not cold enough. We need cold that anything living dreads, cold you can feel in your bone marrow. Stop […]
Atila \ Bisnaga Records \ dead house \ electronica \ ghost house \ Portugal \ Signal Rex \ witch house
Atila – V
Boy we needed a dose of this. Too much dark synthwave anymore, has anyone noticed that? How could you not? With the quickness of the Internet, as soon as something catches, it’s everywhere, it burns through the kindling of memes and vines like a giant backdraft that’s somehow appeared in an open space. Give it […]
