Karg – Marodeur (Post-Artifice Blackened Gaze)
One of the greats of the Austrian post-black metal scene, Karg, has graced me with a wonderful promo featuring a running horsey and rider chasing in tow with a crop. If that doesn’t set the scene, you tell me what does. Lol, I kid. Karg, whose earlier work was primarily noteworthy for its progression […]

Final Dose – Under the Eternal Shadow (Dungeon Punk)
I thought this band was obsessed with drugs or something, because how else are you supposed to read “Final Dose?” Apologies, but I didn’t see the art yet and that was just in the email’s subject line. Well, I found out pretty quick it was a final dose of punishment. It became clear I […]

Putrid Offal – Obliterated Life (I Settled on This Grind)
At first I thought I was settling on this, because these past two weeks for promos have been wretched. Typical metal, and other genres, with not a lick of creativity to differentiate any of it from what I’ve heard a million times. So then I’m looking here at France’s Putrid Offal, who’ve been around […]

Savage Master (Satanic Kitsch Metal)
Well time to punch myself in the face. That’s for two reasons. One, because I said anyone liking this band should be punched in the face (paraphrasing, but basically), and two I should be punched in the face by the band for saying that. Truth be told, I’ve never been into Savage Master. I […]

Hexecutor – …Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint (Hauntingly Ethereal Blackened Heavy Metal)
Are the French coming up to overtake the Finns in weirdness? Also the ghostly and ethereal? Might happen, at this rate. I really needed to listen to the latest from Hexecutor several times to get what they were doing. Even after that I’m not sure I’m in the “get it” crowd yet. Maybe I […]

Osgraef – Reveries of the Arcane Eye (Arcane Death Metal of the Void)
A band so obscure it’s not even on Encylopaedia Metallum yet? Then you know it’s elite. Another hint of greatness here is I can’t find a lick of fucking information about these guys. Are they guys? Are they human? Probably no to the second question. They’re probably not even physical beings. Black metal or […]

Clan Dos Mortos – Técnicas de Morte (Hardcore Nekropunk)
Horror punk is for the weak, do you hear me? What was once a scene of tongue-in-cheek scares that was kind of real scary now just looks like it’s for pussies. Stupid makeup, stupid Elvis lip shit, stupid hair, stupid Frankenstein references without knowing it’s the name of the student who isn’t even a […]

Genocidal Rites – Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law (Barbaric Bestial Black Metal of Death)
I try my best to balance out labels I review, but, damn it, some of them are just so good I can’t but review whatever they send me. How many reviews for Hells Headbangers have I done so far? I don’t even know, but it’s probably embarrassing. Even more revealing (laying myself bare here), […]

Grave Infestation – Carnage Gathers (Lurking Death Metal)
Hmm best death metal band from Canada currently? Probably, yeah. I’ve been on a real fix for this specific type, too: the eerie, lurking kind. It doesn’t pummel, it slowly degrades. It comes from all the dark spaces you dread like a sticky mold, touching all over your skin until it rots away. There’s […]

Caustic Phlegm – Purulent Apocalypse (Fungal Decomposition Death Metal)
I decided to go the route of pure disgust this week with music reviews. Case in point, Scumripper (see review prior to this one), next case in point, Scotland’s one-man viral plague of diseased myconid mucous, Caustic Phlegm. I think one of the best things about this band is I can pretty much get […]
