Atlantico \ Barranquilla \ Colombia \ Julián Felipe Mora Ibanez \ molten puke death metal \ putrid death metal \ Xtreem Music
You ever wonder what it would be like to vomit at a funeral? Or is this a question about a funeral for vomit? Can one grieve over vomit? Or, rather, is it perhaps that the entire cortège is releasing vomit at a funeral? These are only some of the questions that come to mind. […]
blackened speed metal \ blackened thrash \ Guadalajara \ Inframetal Records \ Jalisco \ Juan Carlos García Gutiérrez \ Mexico \ Necrohexx \ witch metal
As before, let me say it, I usually don’t review an album after release except in rare cases where something moves me enough. Mexico’s Phantom is just such a rarity. Now, that might be a bit deceptive since there’s nothing entirely new here, this is speed and thrash metal, after all, but the rare […]
blackened death rock \ Claudio Elias Scialabba \ death rock \ Dying Victims Productions \ Italy \ Messina \ Sicily
Normally, I avoid compilations. I get the point, but I don’t like them, I want something new. Okay, so the way around that is typically a band or label will add new tracks or something, but they’re most often covers so why TF bother? But, when you put in there rarity whether early demos […]
blackened death metal \ California \ Hells Headbangers \ Los Angeles \ Nestor Avalos \ United States
Though part of the original guarde of black metal in the United States, I’ve never really considered Demoncy to be black metal, though I have always considered them to be awesome. Their earlier work certainly hearkens back to the early 1990s wave from Norway, but as time went on they developed their own, Californian, […]
black ambient \ dark ambient \ dark industrial \ dark ritualistic ambient \ Japan \ ritualistic ambient \ Slithering Black Records
There’s good ambient, and there’s bad ambient, regardless of subgenre. There is no middle. The reason is simple. The artist is either skilled at making music, or merely holds keys on a keyboard. I’ve said this a bagillkillion times. Here we have something even beyond the usual skill, though, something of darkly mythic potential. […]
Ainul Iblis \ Austria \ Estonia \ raw black metal \ Signal Rex \ Switzerland
This one surprised me for reasons that might escape the usual listener. I was told once I review too much black metal, but that happened to be a coincidence for the time and now that winter draws closer I have an excuse if I wanna engage. At any rate, I know the tropes, you […]
California \ cold wave \ dark wave \ darkwave \ Los Angeles \ synth wave \ synthwave \ United States
I tell you what here’s another shat week for promos. I had only a single submission I wanted to review (already done before this one) and in desperation I thought “hey, been awhile since I heard some good Goth licks.” Search a tag and sometimes you come upon gold, this time under the moniker […]
Australia \ death doom \ Headsplit Records \ Me Saco un Ojo Records \ Melbourne \ Necro Frost \ Victoria
Well this one surprised me now, didn’t it? Just the other day I was saying how Australia’s Werewolves pretty much satisfies everything you’d need in death metal from the country, but now I decided to add to the list Carcinoid, which opts for the death doom angle, with some cocky smartypants attitude. On the […]
20 Buck Spin \ California \ Daniel Butler \ erotic death metal \ San Francisco \ United States
For some bizarre reason it took me some time to get into this one, but don’t let that fool you, it’s an absolute ripper. I’ll blame the weather or something, because clearly my mind just wasn’t ready for it. Again, strange, because I find a certain site rating this much lower than would I, […]
brutish war metal \ Duje Aljinovic \ nasty war metal \ Profound Lore Records \ Richmond \ Stygian Black Hand \ United States \ Virginia \ war metal
Here’s a band I knew nothing about until I came across this in the promos. At first I thought it was some bro metal band obsessed with punching (see their name), and then I found out it was actually murderous war metal (redundant, I know) band from Richmond, Virginia, which is quite close to […]
