crust \ hardcore \ ism \ metal
ism: Demo
Don’t be fooled by the powerviolence tag you’ll find on the Bandcamp page we have nicely linked below, because there’s not a bit of that in this. So, sorry, no girlfriend-in-side-project cameos that were clearly to make sure an “evening of fun” took place, as much as you’d want that to happen. But, hey, that’s […]
doom metal \ sludge \ Tons
Tons: Musineè Doom Session Vol. 1
Now and then doom bands get the name right. It’s not about the name, you say? No, it is about the name, damn it. None of this stupid wizard junk with fire, bong smoking, electric space-worm-riding, trip-to-the-sun-in-a-cardboard-spaceship, Jesus-in-Hell-with-the-Virgin-doing-lines-whilst-reading-The Return of the King junk that’s boring. Sadly that was a reference to probably about two hundred […]
black metal \ blackdeath \ phobos \ Russia
Blackdeath: Phobos
Blackdeath are a brother duo from St. Petersburg, Russia and play black metal with a dash of thrash and German lyrics about Satanism. Some may have heard of Blackdeath through their splits with more popular acts such as Horna, Leviathan (U.S.), and Mortifera. With kvlt and Lucifer in their calloused hearts, they have created Phobos, […]
grind \ metal \ no trust \ sludge
No Trust: Unfound
There are lots of these two-piece bands around nowadays, maybe because talent is getting thin. And it’s not an easy thing to achieve, for a very simple reason. Without some sort of depth, whether it be via samples, synth, orchestra, various layers over several takes, whatever it is, it often only survives a single listen […]
black metal \ endstille \ season of mist
Endstille: Kapitulation 2013
When a band comes around like Germany’s Endstille, you have to mentally and physically prepare yourself for the next hour of merciless and unforgiving auditory assault leaving you angry and wishing you bought that katana on Amazon so you can chop whatever you can find in your backyard. Kapitulation 2013, the most recent release by […]
3rd machine \ industrial metal \ symphonic metal
3rd Machine: The Egotiator
This was almost practically the worst thing ever made, and it almost won our coveted title that we’ve been meaning to start. To have this much hopelessness in only three songs makes one quiver in terror at the arrival of a potential full-length. 3rd Machine comes from The Netherlands, active since at least 2005 and […]
australasia \ black metal \ rock \ shoegaze
Australasia: Sin4tr4
Sometimes artwork doesn’t tell you much of anything about a release. See, that’s the problem we have here. You see something that follows a typical style, say to yourself “aw man some sort of crappy deathcore”, you put it in, actually good, hmm looks like we were wrong… Case in point right here, because the […]
ad noiseam \ breakcore \ dark ambient \ dub \ electronic \ fausten \ glitch
Fausten: S/T
See those worms on the cover? They’re symbolic. They’re going to dig into your body cavity and intertwine with your intestines, wrapping their way up your veins and nerves until they slowly replace your brain and leave only a trembling mass of fetid earth-dwellers in its place. That was our attempt at providing a cool […]
deathcore \ France \ hardcore \ metalcore \ nothingness \ post-hardcore
Nothingness: No Happy Ending
Picked this one up, said, “yeah, deathcore/metalcore or some crap, we’ll wait on it”. Damn these stereotypes and biases, they plague our minds! Someone out there save us, free our mind from these genre tags that bind us! Well, hey, can’t blame us entirely, the artwork pretty much said what it needed to, and it […]

John 3:16: Visions of the Hereafter
Now and then we get good experimental, every now and then. Not so much with noise, because it’s deceptive in how people approach it and everyone just buys a million effects pedals, but with experimental yes, most of the time people have a better grasp of “music” since you normally actually have to play something […]
