Blaze of Perdition – Near Death Revelations
It’s always tragic when a band has to experience death, not simply screaming about it or symbolizing it via music. When real death hits anyone, how to cope? Finding life in those ashes can be difficult for most, nearly impossible for others, if possible at all. For music it can be a total tragedy. Certain […]

Many Arms & Toshimaru Nakamura – S/T
It’s sadly been awhile since we’ve reviewed something from the highly underappreciated Public Eyesore, or as we like to lovingly call them “The Pub”, “The Eye”, or “The Sore”. The guy has an obsession, or perhaps a fetish, or perhaps a dedication if we’re speaking lovingly, of experimental music in its essence. Free jazz, power electronics […]

Nyseius – De Divinatione Daemonum
You know what good black metal has and often lacks? Atmosphere. Every year this guy right here (editor) pulls out Transilvanian [sic] Hunger not for the vocals, not for the incessant drumming, but for those guitars. They flow like brittle snow around cold rocks in a chasm, and it just makes this time of year […]

Demona – 2015 EP
There’s a lot of crossover in speed and thrash metal, and really it’s always been that way. Sometimes there’s a blurring of lines, but thankfully it’s permissible, and never has been confusing. This is because both genres feed into and off of each other quite well. Now, we’ve received a lot of thrash over the […]

Crest of Darkness – Evil Messiah
First glancing at this cover, you’ll probably giggle. It sends out black metal signals like the lone captain of a sinking dinghy shooting up flares. “Look at me, help me, I am here!” he screams into the black night, surrounded by nothing but a sea so vast the chances of anyone seeing his desperation is […]

Adversarial – Death, Endless Nothing and the Black Knife of Nihilism
Well, this band has already started off on their path of adversariness with an album title that’s probably going to break our system coding. First for its length, and if that doesn’t do it, then for its meaning. Nihilism, the rejection of principles, especially moral principles or those stemming from religion, the rejection of love, […]

Autokrator – S/T
There are certain people out there giving us a wealth of idiocy to criticize, and it’s great because we can still seem creative. Let it be known that anyone who references Star Wars in a review of any metal band, unless it’s a metal band with a focus on Star Wars, is a complete toolbox, […]

Yen Pox – Between the Horizon and the Abyss
We’ve been on board with Malignant Records for a long time now. What started as a partial zine project many years ago eventually went on to become one of the modern powerhouses behind death industrial, noise, ambient, and all of those moldering genres we enjoy so much around here. So yeah, we’ve known about them […]

2methyl – Layer 8
We’ve been really getting slammed with black metal, post-black metal, and blackened death promos recently, and we’re not really sure the reason. Now, of course, you know us, that’s always fine in our books, in fact it’s the introduction to every one of our books: “send things of this variety.” It really says that. But […]

Mefitic – Woes of Mortal Devotion
This is such an awesome name for a band, even though it’s a spelling variation. Who cares? It sounds so Goddamned vile it pleases one to speak it aloud to others. To what are you listening, friend? Mefitic. To which they shirk in horror, knowing only from the staticy bile coming from your ears that […]
