Fell Omen – Caelid Dog Summer (Medieval Anlog Metalpunk)
Yo, my boy is back. Actually, he hasn’t been gone that long. It’s only been seven months since his last one lol! But, I expect nothing less than that from a big dude who loves steel, motorcycles, and wooing the medieval ladies with flowers (band promo for this, his latest). If the first album, […]

Pustulant Flesh – Gurgling Pustulence (Eyeball Bursting Slime Metal)
Last week, a new slab of noise landed, and I immediately wondered if the hideous thing was from somewhere around Flanders because that region, along with Finland and Chile, has become a festering hotbed for that vile strain of death metal with the “when Carcass was good” sound. A sound that requires a full […]

Plasmodulated – An Ocean ov Putrid, Stinky, Vile, Disgusting Hell (Human Filth Metal for the New Florida)
Let the official proclamation hereby be stated: the Florida death metal scene may be undergoing a renaissance. Death metal in the region has simmered with a familiar, if potent, consistency for years now, trapped in the amber of its 1990s progressive death metal glory. And while some may raise fists in my presence, the […]

Tylo – Of Rot and Rebirth (Trauma Metal)
I had to stop and think about this one more than the usual. There’s something different about this I could only fully explain by making up a term. I could try what what others have failed at by saying post-Goth, post-doom, etc. but such an approach is lacking. Tylo Gardner, who’s done work as […]

Verdalack – Force from the Grave (Vampiric Blackened Speed Punk)
Uh oh we got a band using a vampire term for their name. That could be bad… But, lol, hey, they’re from Japan, so trust me, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Any band from Japan can take any genre and make it better than it ever was, especially when it comes to metal. […]

Kontusion – Insatiable Lust for Death (Manly Death Metal for Real Men)
Now here’s an interesting development. I’ve seen bands evolve, or grow, as it were to some. That’s pretty easy I’d say. But what if a band remains stagnant, can that be a good thing? When I previously encountered Kontusion their sound was a bleeding type of death punk, in a sense, corrupted to its […]

Atomic Witch – Death Etiquette (Blackened Speed Thrash with Grave Mist)
My glowing review of Atomic Witch’s last effort now feels insufficient. Death Etiquette utterly obliterates Crypt of Sleepless Malice, sorry. Where its predecessor hammered with raw, crushing deaththrash, infused with a dose of speed, this album reveals a band far more skilled, artistic, and atmospheric, weaving a richer, more evolved narrative. Three years in the lab clearly […]

Blind Equation – A Funeral in Purgatory (Post-Cybergrind Glitch Goth)
The album’s visuals were my initial lifeline: a haunting blend of dark anime, raw glitch, and a somber, dripping grey palette that perfectly shrouded the band’s identity. But the moment the music hit, I was at an immediate impasse. This wasn’t a “grower”; it was an instant gauntlet, demanding a total reevaluation of music […]

Mutant Sex Demon – Cutting Through (Perverse Black n’ Roll)
Here’s another “hot damn” type of release. Finland’s Nicolas Wallgren (aka Lord Warmoon), is at it again! I forget where I first heard about Mutant Sex Demon, I just remember laughing (in the best way possible), and I was excited, some time later, to see this supple full-length hitting the promo inbox. Adorned with […]

Warslaughter – Exacerbación (Excrement Covered Death Metal)
After that last review of the latest full-length from Morbyda, here we have another one that is judged easily by its cover. I like doing that, because good art tells a story, and when it tells a story as indeterminate, twisted, and dark as this one, fear level rises. Add to that drippy album […]
