Domhain – Nimue (Blackgaze Dirges for the Sullen)
This is a debut? Amazing. It almost seems not in the realm of possibilities. I’ve heard many attempts at this kind of thing, and I hate genre-tagging criticism, but man there’s a lot of stuff in here. Shoegaze, blackgaze, blackmetal, atmospheric metal, post-metal, doom metal, folk metal, dark folk, post-shoegaze, damn it almost sounds […]

Abigail / Nekrofilth – Fuck in Hell’s Evil Bitches (Incorrect Grammar Blackened Thrash / Hardcore Punk)
I usually complain about splits, primarily because one band outweighs the other, but let’s forget about that today because this is not such a case. This is Abigail fools! The rulers of splits! The kings of splits! The god emperors of splits! The demiurges of splits! Say it how you want, but these guys […]

Invultation – Feral Legion (Werewolf Metal)
You know, I’ve seen the werewolf theme used quite a bit in metal, in a variety of genres too. Sometimes it’s cheese, sometimes it’s sleaze, mostly, just please. Rarely does it offer a band a chance at greatness, it’s kind of too golden age to work as I’ve seen it mainly presented, but, well, […]

Body Void – Atrocity Machine (Physically Revolting Acid Metal)
This is like political, crusted, body horror sludge or something, or let’s just say acid metal. That’s the best I could come up with today, and thankfully I hit upon this in the emails because it came in a bit late. Got a few days late to scrunch it in there so let’s do […]

Sadistic Force – Midnight Assassin (Slasher Metal)
You know a band’s killer when they’ve only been around three years but sound like they’ve been around thirty. But, hey, also you can’t be riding that retro thing too hard, otherwise we just feel old. Do I want to feel nostalgic? Sure. But I want to feel young, I want to feel like […]

The Answer Lies in the Black Void – Thou Shalt (Hypnagogic Doom Metal)
Now there’s a mouthful of a band name! And Thou Shalt is a mouthful of an album. Atmospheric types of doom seem to take one of two primary approaches; either they crush with overwhelming chaos or, as in the case of The Answer Lies in the Black Void, they crush with dreamstates. That particular […]

Seraphic Entombment – Sickness Particles Gleam (Pre-Cambrian Fetid Death Doom)
Angry angry angry! You guys are sure angry! But, hey, you’d be this angry if you dripped off the walls of a sewer like Seraphic Entombment did. That ooze sticking in the mortar poured probably before time itself? That’s Seraphic Entombment. The misshapen pre-Cambrian artefacts of life that crawled from the seas and died […]

Vanishing Kids – Miracle of Death (Psychedelic Gloom Metal)
I always wanted to be a melty-faced teen and now that dream is realized even though I’m in my 40s. Vanishing Kids are like one of those “sleeper hits,” but a band, and the major difference being that their latest, Miracle of Death, is absolutely not unpromising upon release. I mean, like, shit, okay […]

Uranium – Pure Nuclear Death (Black Industrial)
Now here’s a damn fine contrast to the review I just posted. From gloom pop to this. So first I lament the fact I don’t get enough gloom and dark pop, and here we are with something else I don’t get a lot of, or at least usually not good, black and/or dark industrial. […]

MØAA – Jaywalker (Gloomy Dream Pop)
Been awhile since I got a sweet taste of something like this. Occasionally some gloom comes in, but it’s trite and ineffective. It doesn’t make me languid, it makes me mad, kid. Lol, sad, a pathetic intro… Anyway I don’t even remember how I happened upon the latest from MØAA but I did, and […]
