Adorior – Bleed on My Teeth (Female-Fronted Bloody and Blackened Death Metal)
Goddamn. You often hear the buzzwords “female-fronted metal,” but what does that actually mean? So there’s a woman in there somewhere, got it. Why point it out? Well, often, it’s simply because women in metal are not as visible as men. Okay, got it. But here’s the problem I often find with this. Apologies […]

Gorgerin – S/T (Back Alley Autopsy Goregrind)
Figured since I got another good one to review this week, instead of trimming down the chaff to get to the usual two, I’d do three, and Canada’s Gorgerin were just the right amount of disgust to drive away anyone who recently came to the site. We keep it real underground here, to the […]
Carbonized Records \ D&D \ D&D death thrash \ death thrash \ Dungeons & Dragons \ James Bousema \ United States
Dungeon Crawl – Maze Controller (D&D Death Thrash)
This shit’s goddamn genius. Now that we’ve started with that, I have to keep it going so you understand. Can’t just jump into a campaign without some backstory. I’ve seen lost of fantasy themes tossed around in metal, especially the power variety, but few bands can give it any sort of real substance. Imagine […]
demo \ grisly black metal \ Japan \ raw black metal \ Werewolf Records
Immortal Death – Demo (Grisly Black Metal)
Leave it to the Japanese, yet again, to truly terrify. How are they so damn good at mixing it up? I just don’t get it. Is it something culturally imbedded over there? Well, regardless, we have another example here of taking a tired old style and turning it into something so horrifying even the […]
BlackSeed Productions \ Me Saco un Ojo Records \ Necrohelm \ occult death metal \ Spain \ supernatural death metal
Sanctuarium – Melted and Decomposed (Supernaturally Tainted Death Metal)
Well this is nice, got another album here that comes as pictured and also as titled! Nice! But, first off, listen here assholes, for the love of god, and I mean anyone, not just this band, include cover artist info in the promo! I had to spend a good half hour or so figuring […]
AOP Records \ Germany \ Nona Limmen \ philosophical black metal
Firtan – Ethos (Philosophical Black Metal)
Hooo boy this was sure to be glorious. Let’s pretend we’ve heard of Firtan before, collectively. Now that that’s covered, consider the cover it self, a beautiful rendition of feminine spirit and strength in the face of suffering, by the ever-dark Nona Limmen. Even such a selection for the visuals speaks volumes of the […]
EvM \ Joonas Räsänen \ Personal Records \ Sweden \ Transylvanian Recordings
Vomitrot – Emetic Imprecations (Death Barf)
Yes, it’s barf time fools! This is great, I was looking for some awesome death barf recently but nothing was doing it for me. Specifically because the riffs, and most certainly the vocals, were not reaching far enough to the back of my mouth to incite the gag reflex. If it can’t get in […]
blackened death metal \ death grind \ Texas \ United States \ William Blake
Pneuma Hagion – From Beyond (Texas Twang Blackened Death Metal)
Putting one’s name in another language, especially one of the original Holy Languages, is scary. I’m shaking already from Pneuma Hagion, whose usage of “holy spirit” as their name sounds actually threatening when placed into the Greek. And, daimn, you tossed in some fecking William Blake art on top of that? This is truly […]
Chile \ Enzo Toledo G. \ funeral doom \ Lobenzo Rockart \ Personal Records \ symphonic funeral doom
Mourners Lament – A Grey Farewell (Loss-Ridden Symphonic Funeral Doom)
I needed some deep-seated, depressive power this week. Not sure why that was, but be it as it may, here we have another Chilean masterwork to satiate that inner desire. What’s going on in Chile, I ask? I keep getting masterpieces of practically every metal genre flowing out of the country, and add to […]
Catalonia \ dark ambient \ dungeon synth \ Negra Nit \ Spain
L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres – Funesta Epifania (Metaphyiscally Epic Dark Dungeon Synth)
Big band name equals big ideas. So says Catalonia’s L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres (damn, super long), who summon up the spirits of their ancestors in an effort to create epic, dark dungeon synth with their debut, Funesta Epifania. Clashing swords in the dark mountains with the sun behind them, can this […]
