Abomination Hammer \ death grind \ Oregon \ Portland \ Profound Lore Records \ United States
Tithe – Inverse Rapture (Alzheimer’s Death Grind)
This is the kind of release that just makes me super happy. Just almost everything’s good about it, you know? You’ve got a cover that digs out your soul and chews it to bits, a spider-webbed logo you want to snuggle up in, a turning of religion on its head in a clever way […]
dreadful black metal \ Lieve Verschuier \ Norway \ Purity Through Fire
Unholy Craft – Naar All Tid er Omme (Good Dreadful Norwegian Black Metal)
Black metal + Norway = banal banalities? I feel like the genre’s particular focus on Norway during the 1990s led to a later “ugh” reaction towards anything from that region, except from those who know little. Even the “greats” we pretend were or still are “good” seem to fail miserably every time they reappear. […]
Alvar Baptist \ blackened crust \ Germany \ Giessen \ Hesse \ Lifeforce Records
Depravation – IV:LETVM (Such a Good German Blackened Crust)
Yesssssss. Gimmie some of that blackened crust yo. This might be a first actually… A first in the sense of this site reviewing such a band, and a first in the sense of such a band being such a good. It might seem like an easy formula since crust is close to death metal […]
blackened doom metal \ Chile \ Santiago \ Tatiana Lebedeva \ Tragedy Productions
Winds of Tragedy – Hating Life (Splendid Chilean Blackened Doom Metal)
I really wasn’t expecting anything from this one. Winds of Tragedy? Album titled Hating Life? Get over yourself son. That’s all I could think. You see that doom thing and words like that, with sadgurl on the cover, and you’re ready to puke (not in a good way). Yep, here we go with this… […]
Italy \ Margherita Petrucci \ mathcore \ post-hardcore \ post-mathcore \ Prosthetic Records
Stormo – Endocannibalismo (Italian Post-Mathcore)
I been bumming cuz I haven’t had any good hardcore in awhile. Actually, is there any lol? Most of those old bands are running on farts at this point (translation: old and uninterested in change). That’s why the whole post-(insert genre) thing gained headway about a decade ago, or was it two? Like, get […]
Beatrice Eversholt \ Helter Skelter Productions \ Landskrona \ Skåne \ STDeath metal \ Swedeath \ Sweden \ Swedish death metal
Funereality – Til Death (STDeath Metal)
Well isn’t this fun? I’m probably going to far with my chosen fake genre for today, but it’s just how I’m feeling, okay?! After the downfall of Pungent Stench and a more recent release of an album stuck in production hell for years that was a general blah, I really missed that filthy groove […]
blackened death metal \ Chaos Records \ death doom \ Maurice De Jong \ Netherlands
Cadaver Shrine – Benighted Desecration (Blackened Death Doom of the Funereal Quality)
I sometimes wonder if Maurice de Jong, known primarily for his project Gnaw Their Tongues, is like superhuman or something. The number of notable bands he’s constructed, all of a dark and experimental style, would practically be a review in itself. Simply writing them all down would achieve the word count I prefer, but […]
Caligari Records \ combat grind \ Ensimmäinen Kultti Illustrations \ Etelä-Savo \ Finland \ Me Saco un Ojo Records \ Mikkeli \ Pirkanmaa \ Pulverised Records \ Roope Sillanpää \ Tampere
Sonic Poison – Eruption (Apocalyptic Combat Grind)
Lol I saw this called grindcore somewhere? Please, listen, restrict the usage of that tag to bands that are bad please. I mean come on this is clearly combat grind. I feel bad for those out there dealing such nonsense, but even worse for myself because I have to waste time pulling out a […]
crossover \ crust \ Iowa \ Iowa City \ Nightmare Imagery \ Prosthetic Records \ United States
Dryad – The Abyssal Plain (Occult Crossover Crust)
I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this one. The cover has this primitive, war or occult death metal style, but wait is that supposed to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster or something? Like WTF? Where is this leading me?! Still anyone cool enough to name their band Dryad must have something […]
Everlasting Spew Records \ Mark Voortallen \ melty death metal \ Minneapolis \ Minnesota \ United States \ Vulture
Nothingness – Supraliminal (Melty Death Metal)
I consider this part of the mystery of the label Everlasting Spew Records. Like, why don’t I seem to hear more about shit like this? Dude’s got the name down, and the roster he carries, daing. Case in point, the latest full-length form Minnesota puke lords Nothingness, Supraliminal, which, as far as a cursory […]
