The Grotesquery – The Lupine Anathema (Big Words For Werewolves)
I’m trying to think of the last time I experienced werewolves and death metal coming together for a love child. Maybe it never happened, but I feel like it had to at some point. Well, if not, or if it did and I forgot, time for some new memories. The members of The Grotesquery are separated […]

In Celebration of Violence (Action/Adventure RPG Blood Fest)
This is just such a great game. In Celebration of Violence has been at least getting decent press since its release in February of this year, but it needs a lot more, otherwise the developer/producer behind it, Julian Edison, won’t get that sweet impetus he needs to make some more games son. If you’re looking […]

Slugdge – Esoteric Malacology (Don’t Trick Me Please)
I’ve got a great idea for a horror film title, get this: When Things Get Pretentious. It’s only going to scare true underground junkies (autocrats if you forgot the term), but it will be absolutely terrifying. You are about to witness, a film, about how the best and most cutting-edge of sounds can become, horribly pompous. That can […]

Grave Upheaval (Can’t Translate the Title Metal)
It’s hard to not like a band with a name like Grave Upheaval. Plenty of bands have used the word “grave,” but this one is far more powerful. Cemetery references are pretty stock now, but an upheaval, damn. This isn’t like defacing a single grave, it isn’t like committing sacrilege over a grave, this is an upheaval, like […]

LOWERED – S/T (Surprise Gimme A Smile Metal)
I love surprises. Not like “oh it’s my birthday today I forgot,” I mean things that come out of nowhere and just make you smile goddamn it. Since I rarely receive hardcopy submissions anymore my surprises come in the form of email promos with great art and music that just makes you smile goddamn it. You wouldn’t […]

Candle – The Keeper’s Curse (High School Bus Ride Metal)
These guys have been supremely ripped on by some sites out there, or have been bullied, if you will. I can see why, yet I have to disagree with some of the upper classmen varsity banter. Yo, Candle isn’t trying to be the best, they just want to fit in. Almost everything about the presentation […]

Ajin (Misanthropic Anime)
Really need to do more anime, so let’s bring it back with Ajin, a series well-known to anime fans but with far less reach into the world above (read: loser kingdom), in spite of both of the current seasons being streamed on Netflix back in 2016. Yeah, I know, we around here have other ways of […]

HAR – Visitation (Mountainous Black Metal)
Man, I just did a site search, and apparently I have never reviewed an Israeli band. How is this possible? This is one of those random ones that came into the promo garbage pile in email, too, so I may not have noticed it at first if it wasn’t for the cover. I had never heard […]

Worship khost – Metallic Pummeling Rituals
When I started to figure out how to better handle this site and submissions, part of that process was creating a feature called “Worship,” which is part interview, but also more. I also consider a particular band’s most recent release, which is going to be something I score at the highest tier of the Deaf […]

Petrification – Hollow of the Void (Petrified Trees Metal)
It’s that time of year where I just need a little bit of this. Mainly because I hate poplar trees, see there’s one outside of my house and I just want to chop it the hell down. A tree joke? I’m not sure the band thought so hard about their name, see. The process of trees turning […]
