doom metal \ Monolord \ Riding Easy Records \ yep that's about all you can say about it
Monolord – Vænir
The artwork from this one is just splendid, let’s get that out now. It’s esoteric, brooding, possibly Gothic, in the classical sense, not modern, and it gives one “the feels” in its stark simplicity. We expect great things out of great art, and some bands don’t appreciate how critical a cover can be for how […]

Decline of the I – Rebellion
You know what’s annoying? Pretentious critics who pull out obscure quotes to verify their grasp of thought. They must be feared, but remember, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself (John F. Kennedy, 1905). Now we’re not trying to make enemies, but it’s been said if you want to make enemies, try […]
Cinis \ classically trained classically awesome \ death metal \ Murdher Records \ Old Temple \ Poland \ Technical Death Metal
Cinis – Subterranean Antiquity
Death metal, how does it survive? Why do we ask that question is likely your own question right now, but it’s quite easy to answer. We ask because the number of similar bands out there is astounding, at times, and it grows every month. But if they’re all so similar, how can that be? Well, […]
black metal \ Chile \ Concatenatus \ needs more blood \ signed in blood \ so kvlt
Concatenatus – Meditation Through the Inner Vortex
Now here’s something we needed. We were kind of in the mood to feel ultra-elitist, to sound like that friend you hate, the one who pulls out dozens of band names you’ve never heard, all in response to your asking simple questions about a genre or whilst discussing a band. “I like Belphegor, they’re pretty […]
doom metal \ funeral \ Goth \ Gothic \ Hypnotic Dirge Records \ Orphans of Dusk \ so blissfully depressing \ Solitude Productions
Orphans of Dusk – Revenant
Ah, Solitude Productions, what good can’t we say? Without wasting too much time, it’s enough to simply state that when you see the logo or hear the name, you know it has to do with doom metal. Hypnotic Dirge Records, hey, what can’t we say about them as well? Though not known strictly for doom, […]
Eye of Nix – Moros
See, this is what we like, people. Let’s explain something here tangentially before even getting into the review. When a band takes the time to send us something on vinyl, cassette, CD-R, floppy disc, we don’t care, we appreciate it. Why ? Because it shows the band cares about their work enough to put some money […]
Abusiveness \ Arachnophobia Records \ best pagan like ever or something \ black metal \ pagan metal \ Poland
Abusiveness – Bramy Nawii
Well this has been a week of Eastern Europe, hasn’t it? In fact, we have a backlog of tons of stuff from the region, especially Poland. Poland is an interesting bridge, as it were, between the East and the West. Though Eastern Europe was once considered part of Europe long ago, now it’s still considered […]
dark folk \ folk \ Goth \ Infinite Fog Productions \ occult \ occult rock \ post-punk \ Russia \ so Russian you'll with you were Russian \ Srub \ Сруб
Сруб (Srub) – Топь (Bog)
Here’s one that takes careful consideration, due primarily to the cultural background behind it, of which few would be aware outside of its home country. Eastern Europe often receives a great of the west’s insensitivity, primarily because so few understand anything of its history. Remember World War I? Yeah, read about Apis and learn a […]
all metal \ black metal \ Chaos Echoes \ death metal \ France \ no metal \ Nuclear War Now! Productions \ this is like its own thing man
Chaos Echoes – Transient
Now it’s time to take things to the level where few can reach. The hands of most are weak, their joints feeble, they lack the inner strength to pull themselves up from the middle of the giant web of metal into realms of pure chaos. Upon these upper, silken strands things are much different, all […]
Accidental Guest Recordings \ Brooklyn \ Clean Girls \ noise punk \ noise rock \ punk \ smelly old real punk noise \ that's the best we had
Clean Girls – Despite You
Really can’t remember how we came across this. It’s a mystery that will likely never be solved, a blank spot in a memoir that will confuse scholars for centuries until that one, depraved individual does the right digging and pulls the corpse of the answer from out of its decaying tomb with “who the hell […]
