Evadne – The Shortest Way

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 […]

Charnel House – Contagion

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 […]

Windbruch – No Stars, Only Full Dark

There has been a lot of bullshit coming out of Russia lately – Russian military missiles, caviar, Putin’s pubes, Putin’s dumb fucking face, Putin’s sad, wimpy dick, Putin’s pungent asshole, etc,.. Fortunately for everyone not in Russia, there is good news; Russia can produce good music from time to time and Windbruch’s No Stars, Only Full […]

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 […]

Riff Fist – Fistful of Riffs

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.  […]

Black Crown Initiate – Song of the Crippled Bull

This review is going to end up being a huge pitch to sell/follow a band that really deserves a lot more respect and Facebook “Likes” than what they currently have.  Black Crown Initiate from Reading, Pennsylvania have been a touring monstrosity, playing with titans like Fleshgod Apocalypse, Behemoth, 1349, and a personal favorite, SepticFlesh. Already they’re touring on the […]

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 […]

Shinin’ Shade – Sat-Urn

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 […]

The Way of Purity – Equate

The Way of Purity – Equate

Sent a stack of WormHoleDeath releases to one of our writers to do a nice, giant article on the label, because the guys behind it are awesome, hardworking, and in spite of their underground status really push the promotional level of their stuff and take it with a grain of salt, which is a rarity […]

Frank Herbert’s Dune Sucks: Part II – Dune Messiah

If you started here, you started wrong, or in my opinion thematically, probably right. I suggest you read my analysis of Dune before going through this one.  If you’re interested, just click here for the truth about that living suck. Dune Messiah was Herbert’s first sequel in his Dune universe, and it tends to be […]
