Calligram – Position | Momentum (Post-Blackened Crust)

  Am I in the mood for post-black metal with a little of that blackened hardcore and a touch of the crust? Sure, why not? I’m in a good mood. Plus, don’t really seem to be easily accessible reviews out there, so let’s start the process for the good boys in Calligram, who appear to […]

Pukewraith – Banquet of Scum (Grimy Death Metal)

Pukewraith – Banquet of Scum (Grimy Death Metal)

  I frequently misuse the word ‘puke’ and refer to practically everything we review here under that blanket term, as well as probably using ‘filth’ too much, but if it upsets one ex-con Xbox player, eh, who cares? So the great thing about Pukewraith is the word is already covered and I don’t have to […]

Putridity – Greedy Gory Gluttony (Brutal Death Metal for Modern Sensibilities)

  I’ve been neglecting poor old brutal death metal for awhile now, but it’s not my fault, I swear. It’s the fault of the bands! It’s the fault of the labels! Everyone but me! And though the blame-game is everyone’s excuse it’s totally valid here because brutal death metal is actually, not metaphorically, the same […]

Demonized – Abyss Vanguard (Savage Blackened Death Metal)

  Now here’s the definition of comeback. I mean wow, exactly two decades have passed since Demonized released anything. After a self-titled that went under everyone’s radar they’re back with an EP. Well, we’ll take it! I’m on a simplicity for simplicity’s sake kick this week, so don’t expect any fluff. Nothing else to say […]

Systemik Viølence – Negative Mangel Attitude (Sharper Image Blackened Punk)

  Ahhhh, it’s Systemik Viølence! I’ve been following these clowns for some time now, after they made some nasty waves in 2016 with Fuck as Punk, a tirade taking aim at pretty much everything that turned punk into an industry. Of course, old-school punk’s whole mantra was a stab at the mainstream, but once it […]

Tomb – The Dark Subconscious (Slovenly Blackened Death Metal)

Tomb – The Dark Subconscious (Slovenly Blackened Death Metal)

  I debated reviewing this one because it’s such a damn sloppy mess. Malaysia’s Tomb have got a great sound, don’t get me wrong. Earlier work, such as Gates of Gehenna, may be thin on cutting-edge themes, but heavy on the evil. We got wolves howling, solos screeching like bleeding blisters on the fingertips, drums […]

Lazer Station – MEGABOMB SOUND SYSTEM VOL. 1 (Post-Industrial Cybergoth)

  Yay I’m on an industrial kick this week thanks to Bandcamp tagging! After that last one I was hoping to find something more traditional, and here we go. Mixing old style with modern post-industrial, cybergoth, and other things of the electronic dark, Lazer Station was a welcome surprise in a landscape otherwise densely populated […]

Duivel – Heiligschennis (Truly Blasphemous Black Metal)

Duivel – Heiligschennis (Truly Blasphemous Black Metal)

  Lol man, this cover. The cut-and-paste painting style displays one of the most vile things I’ve ever seen. It’s sure to defile, and much like the band who dared to have it crafted, Duivel, its blasphemous in ways more glaring than you’d first expect. If you’re familiar with Dutch black metal in the slightest, […]

Infernal Curse – Revelations Beyond Insanity (Moldy Bestial Blackened Death Metal)

Infernal Curse – Revelations Beyond Insanity (Moldy Bestial Blackened Death Metal)

  Now here’s a gross band. You’re going to feel unclean after this one, sorry. Infernal Curse is one of the most respected bands out of the Argentinian underground and this, their only third full-length in 15 years, has been highly anticipated since they first hinted at it three years ago. Most of their output […]

Cement Tea – Funny Music For The Prettiest Faces Out There (Hardcore Anime Industrial)

  I was digging back through some old industrial (yeah, EDM, EBM, whatever you want to call it) CDs that were the jam back in the 1990s, tossed them in the car to recall memories I shouldn’t remember, and I realized, hey, I haven’t gotten any industrial promos in months! So I dug around. Most […]
