The Sun Through a Telescope: I Die Smiling
In recent years, drone doom, a genre spawned from the likes of Black Sabbath, Swans, and Melvins have swept into the scene with its colossal reverb and indiscernible screaming. Bands such as Khanate, Boris, and most iconically, Sunn O))), have spearheaded this movement becoming a prominent subgenre of metal. Unfortunately, the characteristics of drone doom […]

The Night God Screamed
When a movie comes along with a title as awesome as The Night God Screamed it’s hard not to instantly start thinking what it could be about. What kind of monstrosity could be so evil that the big G himself would let out a sissy little yelp of terror? What ungodly act of brutal savagery could […]

Wold: Badb
It’s shocking, revolting, putrefying to the soul how bad this is. Typically, when a band releases something on limited cassette, usually for the hell of it, it’s best to let it stay limited and in the hands of friends, because they’re practically the only people who are going to get anything out of it, or […]

Common Enemy: As the World Burns
It’s amazing bands like this still exist, it really is. It makes some of us realize how old we really are, that dreadful feeling of “been there done that” about a million times, the “heard it all” sensation, the “back in my day” sensation, also the “why does this still go on and when will […]

Cold Body Radiation: Deer Twilight
Going through the old box of submissions from the previous editor, we came upon two by the needs-more-recognition label Dusktone. Its goal has been to release music of the dark and gloomy, paraphrasing from the official site, so it’s always a pleasure during the winter months to receive something from them. This, and another soon-to-be-reviewed-by-us […]

Squat Club: Corvus
The previous editor, God rest his tragic soul, sent a bunch of hard copy promos before the address was changed to the current one. We like surprises here at Deaf Sparrow, those random, lo-fi cassettes that hide treasures within. So in a box full of this kind of thing, there had to be at least […]

Belcher/Bivins Double Quartet: EXO
Really dig this label, the guy usually doesn’t send anything to explain what he’s doing, just a disc, nicely packaged, with that cool label logo on the back, nothing more. Not even sure if it’s a dude, to be honest, could be a ‘chick’ as they say, or perhaps ‘gurl’, is that how it’s spelled […]

MirrorBlaze: Triumph of the Villain
Still kind of confused about this band name. It’s written as MirrorBlaze, just like that, but it appears in separation in their logo. As to what it means, we’ll leave that up to you. MirrorBlaze are a three-piece thrash outfit from Bangladesh who banded together in 2007. Triumph of the Villain is their first full-length, […]

The Blood Spattered Bride
Seriously, some of this box art from the old VHS days, when things came in boxes bigger than your head or in shiny clamshells, really, just wow sometimes. At other times come on, stop leading us on! Case in point, this film, because the girl you see on the cover appears nowhere in the actual movie […]

Mai Mai Mai: Theta
Tony C. of noise rock act Hiroshima Rocks Around and spastic-pop duo Trouble Vs. Glue, decided to take us on a new exciting sonic trip through dense soundscapes, abstract beats and immense noise. The purpose of this journey is sonic experimentation and Tony C. definitely knows how to go about in order to achieve extreme outcomes from his music. So […]
