Frank Herbert’s Dune Sucks: Part III – Children of Dune
Daaaaaaiimn son, this is the CLIMAX of the Dune Triology! Holy shit yes! At least, that’s what they said back then, according to the cover you see down there. This was the greatest sales success sci-fi had ever seen. That’s a sad fact, because after everyone read it, or tried to at least, the pretending […]

Pivixki – Gravissima
Always wondered what something like this would sound like, and trust us, we’ve heard plenty of people saying they did it. “Here it is,” they say, “we’ve made metal with a piano.” But it’s never worked. It’s sounded pretentious, overly-wrought, and frankly lacking in the essence of what metal is: power. Without that, don’t even […]

Interview with Trepaneringsritualen (Breathe, Then Die)
We’ve been on such a dark kick recently. We like it dark, darker than Goth, darker than black metal. So dark we tread places few will go because you’ll be tagged as ‘outsider’ by anyone. No one will accept you, everyone will fear you. One of our more recent listens involved an awesome piece submitted […]

The Vault: Aluk Todolo – Finsternis
Been awhile since we pulled something out of the tombs, but if there was any we should have selected, it was this one. Aluk Todolo is one of the more interesting acts out of France currently, though they haven’t put anything out since Occult Rock in 2012. Excellent work, but nothing quite caught our attention like a […]
Sons of Famine – Alcohol and Razor Blades
Ah, it’s demo time, friends. These guys have really been patient about our backlog problems (finally almost resolved, praise the spirits of the underground), so thanks to them. But listen boys, it was worth the wait, no? Sons of Famine are a recently-formed blackened death metal act from out of Chicago who sent us this […]

Chvad SB – Crickets Were the Compass
Holy living God, this is probably the worst album cover we’ve ever seen. So bad, in fact, it’s the sole reason this album didn’t get a perfect score. Now, hey, hey now, wait up, we love the music, but it deserved something better! Something with this much value musically needs a proper visual representation. In […]

Burzum SUCKS – The Yoko Ono of Black Metal
Good title, eh? One of the writers was like “what’s this whole Yoko Ono thing?” Maybe we should have said “of metal” and been less specific with our symbolism, because this guy pretty much covers the required ‘general idiot’ persona for the entire community. There, we said it. And we’re going to say more, a […]

Magnetic Stripper – Extended Play-R
In the world of experimental music you have MLG and you nave n00bs. Unfortunately, the latter tends to dominate the field, simply because everyone thinks it’s so easy to do. This becomes especially noticeable with noise, which is probably the most overrated genre in existence because at least 90% of “artists” waste our time hopping […]

Double Header – Street Sects
It’s great when you come across a band like this where you could throw out several genres and not one of them would be sufficient or make any sense. Street Sects play a noisey variety of somethingrather from out of Austin, TX and they prove that something weird is happening in the American West. It […]

Ulvedharr – Swords of Midgard
One curious thing from bands we’ve seen from Italy is a strange tendency to consume foreign culture for image purposes. We almost got in trouble once in an old review of a band from a northern region of the country that utilized images of a forgotten tribe, but which to 99% of their audience appeared […]
