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 […]
blah maybe maybe not \ Desdinova \ Green Valley Records \ progressive \ thrash
Desdinova: Defying Gravity
Well, this was…a bummer…a bummer’s bummer. We’ve had a lot of bands over the years here telling us what their image is all about, what it all means to them. Often it’s pretty accurate, in spite of the staleness of the tunes to be found. Desdinova is pretty clear they’re a thrash band from their […]

Decomposed: Devouring
Swedish death metal has had its score of greats, and we need not mention any of them here because it would just be pretentious. Probably yawnsome, too, and we keep it underground, so underground. Decomposed started out with a huge leap of faith, naming themselves with such an obvious term, one already taken by at […]
Brutal Panda Records \ metal \ post-hardcore \ post-rock \ so awesome screw genre \ Wild Throne
Wild Throne: Blood Maker
Yeah, sometimes bands can blow you the feck away. Like totally. Like you look behind you and where you expect to at least see limbs there’s barely a spray of blood and miniscule chunks. If there are chunks they’re practically the same splatter as the rest of it. Blood Maker comes via way of Brutal Panda […]
Coffins \ death metal \ doom metal \ grind \ Noothgrush
Noothgrush/Coffins: Split LP
Any veteran of the doom metal scene is familiar with these two names, without a doubt. That saves us a lot of time, see, because where we’d normally spend an introductory paragraph talking background and bio, we can now use that space to write pointless nothingness like this sentence, which you will still read because […]

Frank Herbert’s Dune Sucks: Part I – Dune
Well, as you can assume, I, Arkus have been taking my time reading something. This mysterious something with irritating italics in places that don’t make sense all of the time, is all of the original Dune novels written by Frank Herbert, throwing in the parody called Doon for my final analysis. This was actually published about two years ago, but in creating the new […]

DEATHSTENCH/Trepaneringsritualen: Split LP
In the world of darkness, there are a few labels that reign supreme that we see around here frequently. One of those, Malignant Records, has sent us recently several cool pieces, including our first vinyl promo for the new hardcopy address. And here it is. First off, nothing beats a picture disc with cool artwork, […]
Billy Anderson \ Death Valley Driver \ metal \ sludge \ stoner
Death Valley Driver: Graveyard Dead
When we first encountered these guys a year or so ago, the disc was too old to review and well, we didn’t like it much anyway. The cover was a huge WTF with some sort of skeletal Mexican wrestler holding a mic that looked more like a computer mouse and some ghost chick under his […]

Greenhorn – The Plague Doctor’s Mask EP
Nothing beats receiving a self-released hack-job that actually ends up being…awesome. “What is this?” you wonder, as you stare at what looks like a…like a…yes that is the skull of a triceratops. Wait a minute, guys, this isn’t even a plague doctor’s mask! Okay, for once, let’s not put this aside, we said, let’s take […]
black metal \ hardcore \ post-hardcore \ Regarde les Hommes Tomber \ season of mist \ sludge
Regarde les Hommes Tomber: S/T
Here we go again, time to get redundant up in this. French hardcore, especially of the post variety, dominates. It’s one of the most atmospheric, creative, and musically confrontational hotbeds in the modern scene. We were first enlightened on this subject several years ago, and since then have been continually enlightened, endlessly enlightened. We’re so […]
