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 […]
death \ Hammer of Odin or some shit \ Moonlight Records \ put that together in a stew with Viking beer \ thrash \ Ulvedharr \ Viking stuff
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 […]
crust punk \ Infectious Garage Disease \ Negative Reaction Records \ powerviolence \ punk punk \ punkerviolence \ street punk
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 […]

Evadne – The Shortest Way
It’s time for some doom peeeeeoooople. Solitude Productions is a stellar label out of Russia with a primary focus on all things doom, though much of it of the ‘funeral’ variety, generally speaking. Meaning emotional, sometimes brutally slow, sometimes symphonic, none of that stoner crap stuff. Well, okay, so there is occasionally some of that, but […]
avant-garde metal \ black metal \ Charnel House \ dissonance \ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP \ oh so much \ SYGIL Records \ wait stop that's too much
Charnel House – Contagion
First off, just so you know, the artwork there is taken from the fold-out poster inside with the CD, which is superb. That being said, let it be known, the concept behind Charnel House is awesome. It’s a great idea, because nothing is better than mixing beauty with dissonance, especially the quality of dissonance found […]
doesn't really go anywhere \ electronics \ experimental \ guitar \ so sorry please forgive us \ Storm Ross \ the truth hurts
Storm Ross – The Green Realm
This one hurts, it does. It always hurts us to our core when we have to give something an average or even slightly negative review. But not just that, because sometimes being negative is entirely enjoyable. However, in cases when the submission comes so professionally done and with so much care given to the […]
french fry song \ fuzz galore \ love that bass \ potatoes and guys without fingers \ Riff Fist \ something about riffs \ stoner
Riff Fist – Fistful of Riffs
This presents a conundrum of the most profound. Is the fist made of riffs? Or is it rather that the riffs are made of fist? This question may be impossible to answer, and we’re certainly not intelligent enough around here to figure it out, so we’ll save this philosophical speculation for the rest of you. […]
ad noiseam \ ambient beatz dawg \ DnB \ give me dat beat yall \ too much beetz to h4ndl3 \ Underhill
Underhill – Prologue
Said it before, and we’ll say it again, nothing, we repeat, nothing this label sends us is below a 4/5, ever. As soon as we open that beautiful, sealed digipak of a release by the beast known as Ad Noiseam, our minds explode into a billion pointless words in a futile effort to explain how very […]
bring it more please \ Moonlight Records \ more doom dudes \ Shinin' Shade \ where's the power? \ WTF more this needs more
Shinin’ Shade – Sat-Urn
It’s not good when you start with one of the worst band names we’ve encountered in awhile. We suppose, though, that if you’re going for more of the 1960s or 70s in terms of your “doom” it sounds fitting, like Blue Cheer or Incredible Hog. However, that always irritates the piss out of us, because […]
