Goetia – Mortuary Cult (Savage Blackened Death Punk)
I was at a loss recently, because the majority of promos were just terrible. This might be one of the worst weeks on record for me, but it’s just the luck of the sucky draw. I was down to a few, but in the end the final review we have today to end off […]

Cyclopic – Flesh of Chaos (Unequivocally Dark Fantasy Death Metal)
Ah yes. Haven’t had a supergroup in awhile, and Cyclopic consists of members from Germany, Kazakhstan, and Russia. Normally, this kind of mix yields mixed results (lol get it) but here we find something else entirely. Now, looking at info supplied by the label, Awakening Records (who you should really be paying more attention […]

Meltification – S/T (Churlish Death Grind)
Are thee proud enough to go the self-titled route? To do so requires the maximum of unbothered grace, and in the world of anything even remotely adjacent to grind, grace is scarcely known. Churlish perhaps? That’s too Thesauaurs for these parts, I’m afraid, but everyone knows that most bands who even dip a smidgen […]

Riena – Miekka ja Varjo (Truly Raw Black Metal)
It’s been a long time since I reviewed black metal of this type and I’m sticking with what I said about it before. When musicians pray to the gods of “raw” they typically belabor the point. It’s not about the raw, it’s how you use it (sex reference). Lo-fi is not the answer, for […]

Nuclear Tomb – Epoch Inhumane (Almost Ineffable Death Thrash)
I was the opposite of a fan of Nuclear Tomb when I received their last full-length, Terror Labyrinthian, for review. It was, quite simply, inchoate. Even the art was drab and undeveloped. So imagine my surprise, or perhaps lack thereof, when two years later I find, with Epoch Inhumane, they’re closer to ineffable. I […]

Diabolic Oath – Unholy Barbaric Hymns (Bestial Blackened Death Metal of Pure Beast)
I just love Sentient Ruin Laboratories. Everything dude releases sounds something like this, but it never tires, it never ages, it remains robust in spite of similarities and in spite of continuing, confidently, on the same path. Feeble? Never. For he truly knows how to dig deep into the blackness, pulling out great sources […]

Nighnacht – Limb Service (Perversely Grotesque Blackened Cannibal Metal)
OMG yesssssss! I was feeling somewhat depressed by the promos I had sitting here for release that are coming out in the next three weeks. Other than one, already reviewed, the rest sucked. Let me poisoncoat it a bit more. The rest fucking sucked. I can’t recall a week this bad in a long […]

Hexenaltar – Descending Curse (Gnashing Blackened Thrash)
Well, here’s another Polish force-to-be-reckoned-with to add to the ever-growing, chapter-by-chapter tome of awesome Polish metal bands (of any genre). A particular bite is growing ever-present in the national sound of Polish metal, and if worshipping an altar of dark magic is your calling, well, these elements come together quite well here. Hexenaltar I […]

Shewolff – We’re All Gonna Fukkin’ Die (Lycanthropic Metalpunk)
Does anyone really need to comment on a band called Shewolff with a cover spouting werewolf, coffin, and flaming swords as its imagery? I’d think not, but Jesus Christ you people demand words from me so you’re going to get them! Belgium’s Shewolff are one of those bands that suddenly bursts onto the scene […]

Desolus – Dwellers of the Twilight Void (Impending Apocalypse Satanic Thrash)
Yes, my boys are back! Now, before someone construes this as favoritism, it just so happens I love these guys, and it just so happens I’m reviewing them again, got it? Because they’re good! So no accusations of pandering, please! And, let me tell you, I don’t bother with bands unless they show general […]
