Demona – 2015 EP
There’s a lot of crossover in speed and thrash metal, and really it’s always been that way. Sometimes there’s a blurring of lines, but thankfully it’s permissible, and never has been confusing. This is because both genres feed into and off of each other quite well. Now, we’ve received a lot of thrash over the […]

Crest of Darkness – Evil Messiah
First glancing at this cover, you’ll probably giggle. It sends out black metal signals like the lone captain of a sinking dinghy shooting up flares. “Look at me, help me, I am here!” he screams into the black night, surrounded by nothing but a sea so vast the chances of anyone seeing his desperation is […]

Interview with Sewer Goddess (Worship the Filth Below)
With all the noise we’re finally getting again, it’s good to have an interview surrounding this recent proclamation of the power electronics revolution. Of course, though, you know us, we only mean the good stuff. The bad stuff, yeah, we’ll sometimes review it, but sadly noise is filled with lots of it because everyone thinks […]
Adversarial \ awesome death metal in the classical sense but yet not because it's new \ blackened death metal \ Canada \ Dark Descent Records \ death metal
Adversarial – Death, Endless Nothing and the Black Knife of Nihilism
Well, this band has already started off on their path of adversariness with an album title that’s probably going to break our system coding. First for its length, and if that doesn’t do it, then for its meaning. Nihilism, the rejection of principles, especially moral principles or those stemming from religion, the rejection of love, […]

STORM OF NOISE – The 1st Offensive
So it’s time for some of this, everyone. In the past we received a decent amount of noise promos for review, or let’s just say experimental to cover everything under the sun so no one feels like an outsider. But recently we’ve been hit with a wave of metal of the ‘blackened’ variety, or just […]
Autokrator \ black metal \ death metal \ experimental \ France \ Inferna Profundus Records \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Third Eye Temple \ totally crazy man so I have to reference Star Wars like a tool
Autokrator – S/T
There are certain people out there giving us a wealth of idiocy to criticize, and it’s great because we can still seem creative. Let it be known that anyone who references Star Wars in a review of any metal band, unless it’s a metal band with a focus on Star Wars, is a complete toolbox, […]

Yen Pox – Between the Horizon and the Abyss
We’ve been on board with Malignant Records for a long time now. What started as a partial zine project many years ago eventually went on to become one of the modern powerhouses behind death industrial, noise, ambient, and all of those moldering genres we enjoy so much around here. So yeah, we’ve known about them […]

2methyl – Layer 8
We’ve been really getting slammed with black metal, post-black metal, and blackened death promos recently, and we’re not really sure the reason. Now, of course, you know us, that’s always fine in our books, in fact it’s the introduction to every one of our books: “send things of this variety.” It really says that. But […]

Mefitic – Woes of Mortal Devotion
This is such an awesome name for a band, even though it’s a spelling variation. Who cares? It sounds so Goddamned vile it pleases one to speak it aloud to others. To what are you listening, friend? Mefitic. To which they shirk in horror, knowing only from the staticy bile coming from your ears that […]
doom metal \ Monolord \ Riding Easy Records \ yep that's about all you can say about it
Monolord – Vænir
The artwork from this one is just splendid, let’s get that out now. It’s esoteric, brooding, possibly Gothic, in the classical sense, not modern, and it gives one “the feels” in its stark simplicity. We expect great things out of great art, and some bands don’t appreciate how critical a cover can be for how […]
