Revenger – The New Mythology Vol. 1 (Singer Vacancy, Do Not Apply)
Now here’s a curious thing. So curious I’m not sure I’ve ever discussed it. First off, let’s get the bio puke out of the way. Revenger come from Canada, and I don’t recall ever having heard of them until this release. As usual, you know me, the cover is what first got my attention, […]

Victorius – Dinosaur Warfare Legend of the Powersaurus (Seriousaurus)
I joked about this one on Facebook when I posted one of the band’s promo photos. Some of you thought it was a meme I created, but it was not. And this critical review, too, is real. Victorius is one of several German bands over the past year that have left me disappointed, but this […]

IPERYT – The Patchwork Gehinnom
This one really surprised me. I had heard some whispers of Poland’s IPERYT (which translates from Polish to mustard gas) before, but the genre of “industrial metal” has all but buried itself. Why? There’s been a big push towards the so-called “organic” in music, including all forms of metal. This is really part of the […]
Adi Christianize \ death metal \ Everlasting Spew Records \ Hellish God \ Italy \ Technical Death Metal \ you heard this already metal
Hellish God – The Evil Emanations (You’ve Heard This Metal)
I really wanted to slam to this one. For two reasons. One, the art kills, two I have yet to give such praise to a death metal band from Italy. Let’s start with the art. Though not atypical, or even moderately unique, the cover of The Evil Emanations, by Adi Christianize of Dechristianize Art, is so […]

Rotheads – Sewer Fiends (Satanic Rats)
Congratulations to Rotheads, the first Romanian band to be considered for a review on my trash site. In fact, this might be the first Romanian band to get a review on Deaf Sparrow in general, even going back to the older site prior to 2013. It takes a lot to get reviewed on here, I’ve been […]
death metal \ Ectoplasma \ Greece \ Greek \ like 90s dude \ Memento Mori
Ectoplasma – Cavern of Foul Unbeings (90s Skeleton Blood Pile)
I’ve been hearing some great Greek metal as of late, and let’s add this one to the list. Actually make that sort-of. Maybe a footnote, or a parenthetical mentioning, or maybe a margin scribble. First off, that name, Ectoplasma. It’s possibly one of the greatest death metal band names ever conceived, even though they’re not […]
Abysmal Grief \ doom metal \ Italy \ occult metal \ ouija board love \ Regen Graves \ Sun & Moon Records \ Terror from Hell Records
Abysmal Grief – Blasphema Secta (Ouija Metal)
I was really drawn to the art of this one, by the current guitarist of Abysmal Grief Regen Graves, and I also wanted to give it a shot because I’m pretty sure I’ve never reviewed anything from Sun & Moon Records or Terror from Hell Records before. If I did it was before the new […]
Daniel Corcuera \ doom metal \ Druid Lord \ Nekronicon \ spoon metal
Druid Lord – Grotesque Offerings (Slow Metal)
I remember when I first came across these guys, back in 2010 when they released their first album, and that was three years before the new future of Deaf Sparrow with this updated site you’re currently wasting your time on. Though you won’t find the old review here, as it’s stuck in FTP on the […]
death metal \ Dedy Badic \ Missouri \ power metal \ Satan metal \ Satan overload \ stop the Satan please \ thrash metal \ United States \ Vaultwraith
Vaultwraith – Death is Proof of Satan’s Power (Olde Satan)
I’ve been thinking on this one for several weeks now. As is usual around here, that means something is confusing or unclear. In this case it appears to be neither. I’m fully convinced this is an “on purpose” but yet have no actual proof as the band remains obscure and seems to have no live […]

Card Quest (Old-School RPG Card Slam)
In case you didn’t notice, Deaf Sparrow has dabbled in video game critique before, I just wanted to think about the best direction to take, and based on my current music review output, it made the most sense to focus on up-and-coming developers with a small amount of press, as well as games that fit […]
