CxFx & enduser – Infant Farming

CxFx & enduser – Infant Farming

Here’s an interesting split, and it’s actually a proper split where both artists provide generally the same amount of material instead of it leaning more towards one of them, as we often see, becoming more like a 3/4 or 1/16 non-split 7″.  CxFx, previously titled as Cheezface, is a bizarre breakcore/noisecore act from out of […]

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 […]

Sons of Famine – Alcohol and Razor Blades

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 […]

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 […]

Hammerhands – Glaciers

Awhile ago during one of our Quick n’ Dirty reviews, we gave a nasty review of a band called Hammer Fist and now this is a review of a band called Hammerhands, so the real question and the point of this review is what is tougher – a fist of hammer or hands of hammers?  Continue […]

We All Die (Laughing) – Thoughtscanning

In the past, we gentlemen at Deaf Sparrow have complained about bands trying to be too progressive and adding all these batshit ideas into their music creating a heaping midget orgy of poorly constructed songs, strange fetishes, and no singular idea of who is fucking who and whatnot. If you’ve ever watched Human Centipede or […]

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 […]

Infectious Garage Disease – S/T

Albums like this are incredibly hard to review.  You can’t simply listen to them, toss out the score, dish out some silly words, and call it a day.  This kind of thing requires a bit of thought, because it’s not your normal release.  Infectious Garage Disease was barely a footnote in the Sacramento, California punk […]
