KSKNP – Death Instruktions
There are several superficially clever phrases that come to mind when trying to properly pronounce Kerrstillingskozletskynyströmpetrus, all of which fail miserably if that idiosyncratic wording passed your attention ungathered. This particular manifestation of death industrial is actually the latest work of Peter Nyström, Stephen Petrus, Robert Kozletsky, Larry Kerr ,and John Stillings. All rather seasoned death-sound mechanisc who’ve done […]

The Vault: Mistress of the Dead – White Roses, White Coffin
Funeral doom is a pretty stable niche in the field of doom metal, but it tends to turn away most of those who are more attuned to the driving force of bands like Bog Oak, or really anything with a tempo that doesn’t move at a pace so slow half a chord progression takes a […]

Usurpress – Ordained
This one’s been stewing in the old brain much like a fine, expensive ham. Much like a ham we just purchased for $90 (that’s not a joke) that we made without realizing we had neither the time or energy to eat all that ham. This one here, it sat in there, it heated, it melted, […]

Cassette Assault – Hit It Hard With Sludge
In the past, when we’ve tossed tapes purposefully at your face; sometimes it’s been a hit, sometimes a miss, depending on the tape. This time we didn’t want that, we wanted it all. no misses. As the tapes come in, as well as anything else, we’re picky now, preferring to review what we see in a positive […]

Harvest Gulgaltha – I
Nothing beats mystery, especially when it comes to anything from the blackness. Harvest Gulgaltha have only been around a few years, but even with only two releases under foot, including a demo, it sounds like they’ve been lurking in tombs for much longer than that. Finding anything about them is near impossible. They’re from somewhere […]

Interview With Bog Oak (Worship the Trees With Fire)
With all of the attention doom metal gets anymore, it’s difficult to pick through the mess of wish-we-weres to find the no-one-can-defeat-uses. But, aside from our awkwardly-worded opener, for which we apologize, deeply, the task is real, the difficulty true. Let’s face it, when anything rises in popularity everyone starts to jump on board until the […]

Квітів Знедолених Берегів – За небокрай мрій
We’ve encountered a wonderfully diverse form of two types of metal from Eastern Europe over the past few years, in particular coming from Russia and the Ukraine. Folk metal of the pagan variety, and doom metal, the latter often delivered to us by Russian-born Solitude Productions. We could go off on a number of bands, […]
Bastinado \ blackened \ Finland \ grind \ grindcore \ no flamewar please \ not hardcore
Bastinado – Worship Fetish
When this one first came in we didn’t think much of it, in fact we did a check on the internet and came up with some weirdo dance/house duo that plays with blocks and ripped off Oogie Boogie’s face from The Nightmare Before Christmas for a live set. Seriously, click on that link and explore. “Groan…really,” […]

Sepulchral Temple – S/T EP
Well these guys have just come out of nowhere, but hopefully they don’t return there. Sepulchral Temple are a mystery. Their website is currently inactive (not to mention built with, blah, Wix), and in spite of having only a small number of Facebook fans they managed to snag both Invictus Productions and Iron Bonehead Productions […]

Igorrr / Ruby My Dear – Maigre
If there was any label we’d trust with a collab, it would be Ad Noiseam, but we were hesitant about this one. Simply because in the past year we changed direction to focus primarily on bands and labels with low exposure. Igorrr, well, if you haven’t heard of him, don’t figure you can call yourself […]
