Centinex – Redeeming Filth

Centinex – Redeeming Filth

This was a day when we wanted to feel manly, or womanly.  It was a day to break down gender barriers, to enter a world where everyone can be beast and the image is not restricted to false presentations in the media.  This is that day.  This is the day when you toss things around […]

Theologian – Some Things Have To Be Endured (LP Edition)

Theologian – Some Things Have To Be Endured (LP Edition)

It’s time for some of The Blast (our ‘hey there buddy’ nickname for Crucial Blast), perhaps one of the most underrated underground labels currently, with powerhouses like Gnaw Their Tongues under the belt, bursting at the seams.  Theologian is relatively new in the scene of death industrial, though that tag doesn’t necessarily describe him.  In […]

DistortHead VS A Scar for the Wicked

It’s time for a challenge.  Time for a battle where only one can remain, crowned the victor of a meaningless Deaf Sparrow award that doesn’t even exist in any physical form.  At times we review two things at once, we’ve done it before.  Two albums, same band, or perhaps two albums same label.  But then […]

Bog Oak – A Treatise On Resurrection And The Afterlife

God damn take a breath before you finish trying to say the title of this one.  It’s so blasted long there’s probably a new law that will be on the books in about ten years after it passes through the House, provided the dichotomy of idiocy up in there gets with it.  It shall thus […]

Old Lines – No Child Left Behind

Old Lines – No Child Left Behind

After all that Thanksgiving indulging where we questioned the existence of such a cool-to-hate-on holiday (for a number of a reasons), we were in the mood for a full-course serving of several overly-filling genres at once.  Like a turkey that’s been brined for a week in cigarette butts and street water, we were looking for […]

PURE FILTH – Book Review

PURE FILTH – Book Review

In the world of hardcore pornography, no actor’s legend looms larger than that of the Mad Satyr himself, Mr. Jamie Gillis. Once described by no less an authority than Al Goldstein as “the best actor in porn and the biggest pervert as well,” Gillis’ oevure runs the gamut of perversion and sleaze, from the playful […]

Jessica93 – Rise

Jessica93 – Rise

Goth night.  Let’s all hide in the corners and stare at our sneakers whilst viewing the more courageous of dark dwellers engaging in the dance of Goth, faces painted, hair dyed in deep colors, chains around their necks, fishnets down to heels, let us watch.  Let us brood about all things that require pills, and […]

Вий – S/T

Вий – S/T

We were just totally in the mood for something terribly ugly today.  This one was actually discovered by accident, after checking out the Facebook page of SaturninE, who we reviewed only a few weeks ago.  Вий was an act playing with them in Italy for an underground doom gig that came up in the feed, […]

Cassette Assault – Metal and Noise

Get your guns, get your gurls, or mens, and prepare, for a….cassette assault!  If you’re new around here, this is when we check out a series of four different cassettes in the same review.  Sometimes from the same label, maybe the same band, but this time we’re doing a set of tapes from four different […]

Panychida – Grief for an Idol

Panychida – Grief for an Idol

Good pagan metal, where art thou?  Any time this guy right here has an urge to release the catharsis of the pagan somewhere deep in his being, he goes straight to Eastern Europe.  Partially because his roots lie there, partially because he can speak one Eastern European language and understand some others, and also partially […]
