Archaic Thorn – Eradication (Nihilistic Death Metal for Lunch)

Archaic Thorn – Eradication (Nihilistic Death Metal for Lunch)

  Lunch time freaks. Catching up on some backlog I was first going to pass on this German death metal trio, but those echo vocals had me going too strong to let it pass me by. Archaic Thorn certainly have a more clever take on the anti-Christian stuff by only so slightly referring to it […]

Siculicidium – Az alámerülés lárvái (Archaic Chant Black Metal)

Siculicidium – Az alámerülés lárvái (Archaic Chant Black Metal)

  Time to catch up on some backlog fooks. Picking through the remains of these past two months was tough. Some winners, mostly losers, and obviously this one here must be a winner. Good for them because last Romanian band I reviewed was over two years ago. Not a snub to Romania by any means, […]

Heads for the Dead – Into the Red (Back at It Death Metal)

Heads for the Dead – Into the Red (Back at It Death Metal)

  I just realized I reviewed these guys about a year ago. Actually not, but almost. And I almost liked it, but I really didn’t entirely. It’s part of that “super group” thing you sometimes see, multiple, or in this case three (used to be just two), members of different bands from different countries sometimes […]

Speedkiller – Midnight Vampire (Castlevania Blackened Death Metal)

  Yeaaaahhhh get it. You ready for some Vampire: The Masquerade mattafakkas? You’ve got to be careful of vampire stuff, and this is coming from someone who teaches a course on vampires, so like, I know. Vampire aesthetic is of polar opposites: totally cool or totally drool. The cool variety often carries that 18th century […]

Burning Psalms – A Layer of Repugnance Protects My Wounds. (Sadboi Suicide Ambient Noise)

  I hate how I have to actively search this shit out. Why are noise, ambient, and so forth artists and labels so bad at promotion?! Anyway, I got lucky on this one on two counts. One, not released yet. Two, the label head is cool and responded in a reasonable far quicker than the […]

Pneuma Hagion – Voidgazer (Noble Status Nefarious Death Metal)

Pneuma Hagion – Voidgazer (Noble Status Nefarious Death Metal)

  Now here’s a cover I was really on the fence about, in fact pretty much leaning over to the “no way” side but the more I listened to Pneuma Hagion the more I had to accept it. I’ve received some promos from these guys before, consistently rejecting it for the usual Classical or Neoclassical […]

Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron (SEGA! Epic Heavy Metal)

Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron (SEGA! Epic Heavy Metal)

  You guys been like playing that Sega Genesis Nintendo stuff man? To be honest when someone dares name themselves after a totally overrated 16-bit fighting game you can’t expect much. SEGA (you scream)! Maybe it’s just coincidence though, I don’t know, actually it is. The name Eternal Champion comes from some fantasy literature stuff, […]

Revolting – The Shadow at the World’s End (Acceptable Swedish Death Metal)

Revolting – The Shadow at the World’s End (Acceptable Swedish Death Metal)

  So I wasn’t a big fan of this at first. In fact I wasn’t a fan at all. I pretty much hated it, but then I realized it wasn’t the fault of Revolting, I had just heard too much typical death metal going through the promos and I forgot, lol, this is the Swedish […]

Omegavortex – Black Abomination Spawn (Exactly Like Their Moniker Blackened Death Metal)

Omegavortex – Black Abomination Spawn (Exactly Like Their Moniker Blackened Death Metal)

  Lol these guys. I see any reference to voids, chasms, and generally anything that suggests a gaping pit of despair and disorder, I know it’s going to be killer. This goes for any genre but blackened death metal? Yeah, works there for sure. It’s almost a requirement. Germany’s Omegavortex are the true curtain to […]

Décembre Noir – The Renaissance of Hope (Uxoricide With Feeling Melodic Doom)

  Yeah check it out, I can use big words you just had to look up. I had nothing else to go on and the cover spoke to me. Pheewww shit is this good. I normally avoid bands with this max exposure and fan power, but Décembre Noir are too good to pass up and […]
