Scumripper – For a Few Fixes More (Addict Blackened Thrashpunk)
I don’t think I’ve ever heard an album open as strong as Scumripper’s For a Few Fixes More. Everything about it arranges a stage they promptly set ablaze, consuming the audience in a gigantic fireball fed by the stagnant air of each track. I mean, what do you expect from something that opens with […]

Fell Omen – Invaded by a Dark Spirit (Armor-Clad Dungeon Metalpunk)
I should have probably shown one, or all, of the band photos for Fell Omen, because it more accurately summarizes what you’re in for. Let me give you an idea in words, which likely don’t do them justice: big guy, suit of armor, motorcycle, sword. Though we’re given no clarity beyond that, I’d bet […]

Obscureviolence – Refuting the Flesh (Darkened Death Metal)
I never seem to have trouble coming up with genre tags (primarily for my own personal enjoyment), but this new power trio sure gave me a challenge! Featuring members of Horror God, Russia’s Obscureviolence seem, at first, to combine two popular genres as has been the fad this past decade, the black and the […]

Demon Sacrifice – Under the Blacklight of Divine (Supernatural Punk)
There’s a number of things I like about this EP. From the somewhat minimal cover evoking evil witch stuff, to the fluid, bloody logo nicely accented with an upside-down cross and candelabra, to the strange inclusion of Celtic-type knots, to the awkward English title of Under the Blacklight of Divine, I just knew in […]

Naked Whipper (Blackened Anti-Christian Perversion Metal)
Uh oh, the perverse beasts are back. I can’t remember the last time I heard of Germany’s Naked Whipper, but here we are again. They were around before this site was even birthed, bringing their lusty-demon type of perverted blasphemy years before I even knew their name and years before anyone was riding that […]

Balefire – S/T (Eldritch Death Metal)
I’m gonna start out by saying the only complaint I have with this debut EP, or whatever you want to call it, is it’s too damn short. Goddamn it guys, when you come with this much dark violence I expect longer! I demand more! Continue the beating! Beat me into the ground! Pummel my […]

Shrieking Demons – The Festering Dwellers (Metaphysical Death Metal)
I’ve got to keep giving it to Transcending Obscurity. Guy always drops albums from bands pushing the envelope way past the norm. Though I may only review his stuff here and there, that’s really a standard of greatness I apply to everything. As I always say, if you see it here, you know it’s […]

Hesperia – Fra li Monti Sibillini: Black Medieval Winter over the Sibylline Mounts
I always try to give something a chance even if I think it will kill me. Italy’s Hesperia is an example of this. All the black metal trappings on the damn cover that usually lead to total shitpuke. I’ve seen it too many times. And that’s just the thing. We’ve got boots in snow. […]

Dragonknight – Legions (Melodic Dragon Power Metal)
I am again faced with the power metal conundrum. Namely, what makes the good good? One of the primary issues for the genre is that it relies heavily on classic fantasy tropes that go back to the prehistory of Dungeons & Dragons and earlier literature. To be honest, not much has changed in this […]

Hexenbrett – Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter (Blackened Rock Past Puberty)
Finally! I’ve been waiting for mystery duo Hexenbrett to get their shit together. They definitely had the mystique down. No one really knows where they’re from (most likely Germany, but possibly the United States), but putting this into their particular brand of blackened rock has been largely a miss since their first EP in […]
