Coil/Nine Inch Nails: Recoiled
We’ve previously called the guy running Cold Spring a God. Now we will refer to him as the thing which created God. Over the years, whenever we first started to receive submissions as we branched out into ambient, noise, and the like, everything we received from him was a gem. It seems he has an […]

Australasia: Vertebra
As we found before with Australasia, the artwork doesn’t tell you so much about what to expect. It’s like a blank cover to a two-thousand-page epic masterpiece of literature. When we first came across this guy in his release Sin4tr4, there was a nice horsie on the cover, so we sadly ignored listening to it for […]

The Teeth: Homewrecker
One of the best things to do as a music critic is take a release and stick it in without doing any research. Research should come after. Why? Because this gets all of the stereotyping out of your system, so when you prove yourself wrong you end up with a much more honest review. It’s […]

Fist Fight in the Parking Lot: Year of the Ox
We first came across Fist Fight in the Parking Lot via their self-released EP about a year or so ago. Verdict? Awesome, but unfortunately we can’t show you the proof because we’re programming the archives so they work properly due to the fact they’re in an older version of PHP no longer supported. Take our […]

Pasadena Napalm Division: S/T
Stoked probably isn’t the word we’re searching for when we begin our discussion of this masterpiece to signify the bodily sensations that erupted when we heard it was going down, it was all going down. Finally, the full-length was prepared. Aflame wouldn’t cut it either, and neither would afire. This requires some sort of clever […]

Keep My Grave Open
Awesome title, bad, bad movie. How many times has this happened to you? A title conjures images you can’t wait to have fulfilled, only to find them ripped from you head and stomped into the ground repeatedly as a laugh track fills the air. Here’s another laugh track for you, there are some people who […]

Schloss Tegal: Oranur III “The Third and Final Report”
Cold Spring, the living god of dark music. Funk dat, make it the living pantheon of dark music. For all of the great material he releases, he’s also been known for re-releases, particularly of legendary underground dark ambient and industrial that both groundbreaking and genre-creating. We already reviewed Ax’s Metal Forest a few weeks ago, and […]

Trist/Lonesummer: Split
The curse…of the split. Splits can have this problem, if one band does reasonably well but the other is less so it can be a disaster. And no one wants to be that band, the placeholder, there primarily so the definition of ‘split’ isn’t violated. Is this opener obvious enough? Do you get it? Not yet, […]

Black Hate: Los Tres Mundos
There are certain countries associated frequently with black metal, so frequently we don’t even need to mention them, or it, because there’s really only a single one that immediately comes to mind. Mexico? Probably one of the last places you’d expect to find a quality black metal band. Not to say there aren’t any, but […]
black metal \ folk metal \ industrial \ pagan metal \ Svarga Music \ Thunderkraft
Thunderkraft: Totentanz
Uh oh, yep, that’s right, that’s a panzer on the cover. And you know what that usually means, it’s not bringing an ounce of power, if anything it’s an Italian WWII tank you can take out by shoving a broom handle in its wheels. Tank, generally, equals horrible when it comes to any style of […]
