Teramaze: Esoteric Symbolism

When a band or record label says an album sounds like Tool, Metallica, Soilwork, and Devin Townsend, you can’t help but be skeptical and want to at least see if it matches up to such high expectations. This album…. does meet some of that hype – no doubt about that – but some of these […]

Wreck of the Hesperus: Light Rotting Out

Anyone who doesn’t enjoy this album and pretends to understand depressing funeral doom is full of crap.  So full of crap.  We’re talking like your DNA is literally crap if you say such a thing.  Your parents were no better than the C.H.U.D. that spews the bile-ridden sewage that led to there actually being a […]

Odradek Room: Bardo. Relative reality

No no no, we didn’t improperly write the title, that’s how it appears verbatim on the album cover, so give us a break.  We don’t correct grammar and syntax errors of bands if they’re being “artistic” for us.  Especially if they assist us with their knowledge, explaining the meaning of the Tibetan word ‘bardo’ on which […]

Dota 2: Thoughts 400 Hours In

It definitely needs to be said first that I, Cole Olson, have only played this game for 400 hours. That is it – 400 hours with probably around 50 alone dicking around with bots but do you know why I spent 100 hours dicking around with bots? Because I’ve heard such atrocious things about the […]

Lycanthia: Oligarchy

Sometimes we kind of have this “thing” for Gothic metal, especially of the black variety, or perhaps with a touch of “the doom” for extra thickness.  When properly combined these things create  a tragic beast.  It’s the kind of thing denied by God as something which may exist, the kind of thing that gets you […]

Den Saakaldte: Faen i Helvete

Do you guys like oatmeal? Because this review is oatmeal based. Oatmeal is great because of all the varieties of food that it can be mixed with such as berries, peanut butter, yogurt, jelly, cinnamon, protein powders, etc,.. Black metal is oatmeal and this bowl has been prepared by Den Saakaldte with their album, Faen […]

Lions of Tsavo: Traverser

When using the Google machine to research these lads, the Wikipedia page for the actual lions of Tsavo appears. The story is rather brutal and suits the music well. Back in the day when they were building a railroad over the Tsavo River in Kenya, the British led by Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson, two […]

Squash Bowels/Parricide: Old Grindfathers and Their Grind

Ahhh, grind, probably the one genre in metal that refuses to go anywhere, it’s completely content.  You see the same thing with older veins of hardcore.  If you appreciate it for what it is, then hey, why not?  Otherwise ‘not’ is your only option.  Squash Bowels is a goregrind band from out of Poland, which […]

Verdant: Sincerity

God the artwork on this thing…  Now and then you come across an album where the artwork, or in this case photography, basically does justice to the actual sound therein.  Every song on this feels like what you see, it even sounds like it in its best moments, like the inside of some old mausoleum […]
