Horse Butcher – S/T (Also Under the Name of Bestial Deathgrind)
Oh, God… Now, I’m well aware that Sentient Ruin Laboratories has totally crowned himself king of the darkest of underground vileness, but I don’t think I was entirely prepared for Horse Butcher (featuring members of Hissing) and their debut full-length, also under the name of Horse Butcher. References to Carcass probably seem replete for […]

Voidwards – Bagulnik (Dark Ambient Funeral Drone)
I like when an artist forces you to research their creation. This is entirely necessary when they’re obscure and seemingly refuse to provide any clear presence. They live as more of a shade, so deep in the shadows you barely see a glint from their eyes with light shining upon them. In the era […]

Luring – Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy (Shapeshifting Black Metal)
I don’t think I’ve been this proud of American black metal since, well, now I guess. Listen, though he had a few good tracks, I only owned a Leviathan shirt because the logo’s cool. We have cool logo here with Pennsylvania’s Luring, as well, but musically something much different. Something more profound, something more […]

Visteria – S/T (One-Woman Emasculating Violating Metalpünk)
Lol yep. I’m telling you I had a ton of awful promos these past two weeks, and only two stood out as worthy for any review, let alone a positive one. In this case we’re beyond positive to godly, so yay. Let’s consider here the debut mini-cassette from Poland’s Visteria. It’s a small package, […]

Nordvagr – Resignation IV (Dark Ambient Industrial with Sick Beats)
Finally, finally, some good dark ambient/dark industrial. Hell, any ambient or industrial is needed around here, but as I’ve said countless times, the former is a genre that seems simple to craft, which is why the majority of submissions I receive are total garbage. Bunch of fools with keyboards yet no actual training in […]

Rotpit – Long Live the Rot (Complexly Flippant Swedish Death Metal)
I’ve seen bands evolve before, but rarely to this level. Rotpit’s first full-length came out over a year ago, and I gave that one a bunch of glittering generalities, some jokes about their style, but still with a strong positive recommendation, so imagine how tickled my tummy was when I saw a new one […]

Inverted Cross – Eternal Flames of Hell (Goat Bowing Blackened Speed Metal)
First Chile, now Catalonia, what’s going on in those two countries there? Tons of crazy shit, apparently. I just reviewed Trollcave the other week, and now let’s add to the mix blackened speed metal Satanists Inverted Cross! But wait a minute, hold up now, I was just saying the other day the whole Satanist […]

Repuked – Club Squirting Blood (Perverse Swedish Death Metal)
It’s time I faced the facts. I grew up listening to old school Pungent Stench, who developed that saucy, sweaty, butt smelling kind of grime that defined a genre in itself. But, after years of running out of ideas, some legal battles that kind of turned out alright, a stupid name change, and a […]

Trollcave – Adoration of the Abyssal Trespasser (Odious Funeral Death Doom)
I love when bands do shit like this. Calling this an EP when it’s over the standard time limit, lol. And making it only two tracks so at first glance you’d think you were looking at a new 7″ drop. Spain’s Trollcave came under my radar somewhere in the past, I don’t remember when, […]

Grylle – Egrotants, Souffreteux, Cacochymes, Covidards (Legitimately Medieval Black Metal)
Perfect success comes in many forms. In the case of France’s bizarre, medieval black metal minstrel troupe Grylle, it’s written all over everything they do, everything their fingers touch. From the promo pack, looking at what appears to be a photo taken in corpse paint while pregnant, medieval demon and plague art, and a […]
