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 […]

Prostitute Disfigurement: From Crotch to Crown
Yay!!! Another cool death metal release that breaks new territory with such themes as rape, serial killing, and murder. Prostitute Disfigurement hails from the Netherlands, and granted we don’t know how quickly things change over there, but given the great strides death metal has made lately these guys no longer have an excuse to sound […]

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 […]

Zozobra: Savage Masters
The Zozobra (Old Man Gloom) is an enormous effigy that’s built and burnt every fall in Santa Fe, New Mexico. People use the Zozobra as symbol of ridding themselves of their gloom for the coming winter, by lighting it all on fire but essentially going on to repeat the exact same mistakes they were trying […]
black metal \ experimental \ musette \ oompah shit \ Pensées Nocturnes
Pensées Nocturnes: Nom d’une Pipe!
Black metal is arguably the best subgenre to do absolutely weird shit in. The dark, blasphemous nature is a great medium to allow musicians to experiment in scary and bizarre ways. Bands such as Deathspell Omega, Sigh, Transcending Bizarre?, and Thy Catalfalque dominate with experimentation and pushing the limits of black metal. Pensees Nocturnes is […]
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, […]

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 […]
