SaturninE – S/T Demo

SaturninE – S/T Demo

Wait, this is a demo?  There’s no way, there’s just no way.  This little beauty was tucked away in a box the old editor had in his possession, and this guy, new editor, found it while digging through the dregs to find the goodies to actually review (that’s how we do it now, not everything can […]

Valence – Laser Baron

Valence – Laser Baron

The curse of the prog, none shall survive.  2/3 of Europe wiped out from the prog, leading to the Dark Ages of music.  The prog is airborne, it may come again, it may poison us all.  Really doubt you got that reference that, and thinking on it now it really doesn’t make much sense.  Here’s […]

Fistula – Vermin Prolificus

Fistula – Vermin Prolificus

Started an interesting conversation with the guy from the distro that sent us this today about my wife’s total dedication to doing squats.  Anyway, that’s private stuff, kind of like a fistula.  No, not the band, but what they’re named after, which is probably the worst thing that can ever happen to the human body. […]

Perturbator – Dangerous Days

Perturbator – Dangerous Days

Yeah, been kind of on a kick for this type of music recently, but this is perhaps the best we’ve ever heard.  Wait, didn’t we say that last week?  Around here people change, it’s fact.  And we can change in a week.  Perturbator fits nicely into the dark synthwave genre, creating a sound similar to […]

All Torn Up! – Drone Life

All Torn Up! – Drone Life

What is it with bands sometimes including punctuation in their name?  We’ve seen this before with hardcore, but it’s really an interesting phenomenon, and some day someone is going to need a sociology dissertation, or maybe in linguistics, so there you go, figure this one out.  Or, rather, figure this one out!  Not too long […]

Sectu – Nefarious

Sectu – Nefarious

Bare with us, because this may be the worst logo ever created and you know we like to gossip.  Think we’re exaggerating for flavor?  No, trust us, we’ve seen some bad ones.  But this one isn’t bad because it’s illegible, no, it’s bad because it should be totally legible, but ironically it isn’t.  What is […]

T.O.M.B. – Third Wave Holocaust

T.O.M.B. – Third Wave Holocaust

At first we were stoked that another label was doing something like this, but it turns out Malignant Records pulled a fast one on us, because Black Plagve productions is actually a sister label, maybe sublabel if you prefer, with more of a focus on death industrial, noise, and power electronics instead of the dark […]

Ovvl – S/T

Ovvl – S/T

This one needed to sink in for awhile before these my words spilled upon the screen.  Before we get to the band, let us say Stormspell has got a great thing going on.  This whole “old farts stuck in the 80s” attitude with killer covers with an attitude can work.  It’s not necessarily refreshing so […]

Dance With the Dead – Near Dark

Dance With the Dead – Near Dark

Yeah, needed a soundtrack for the death of the world as fall sets in, and here it is, mein kinder.  Feel like creating a dark, 1980s sci-fi/horror soundtrack for your life?  This is the perfect time of year for it.  Around this time of year this feeling seems to set in for some of us, […]

Hellsing Ultimate – Series Review

Hellsing Ultimate – Series Review

You know what they say about anime, the more interested you’re in a series, the more likely the ending is going to leave you in a rage.  That should suffice if you don’t feel like reading the rest of this, but if you do, let us continue.  Hellsing, as the original series is known for […]
