Occult Burial – Burning Eerie Lore (Sacrificing Saplings Occult Thrash)
I knew this would be good when I saw the band photo with three dudes sacrificing a with torches, or it may have been a sapling, and one is looking all spooky while in the process of growing balder and totally doesn’t give a shit if you notice. Thrash has proven one of the […]
Carnal Records \ Chadwick St. John \ classic black metal \ Inkshadows \ Sweden
Svartsyn – Requiem (More of the Same Yet Better Black Metal)
Yeah, so like I was on a lull this week, and the last week, because 100% of the promos I received sucked and there was seriously nothing worth your time. So if anyone said there was they’re stupid and you should stop paying attention to them. So I had a conundrum at that point. […]
Esfinge de la Calavera \ Forever Plagued Records \ raw black metal \ Ukraine \ Umbra Pestis
Ritual Suicide – Nocturnal Haematolagnia (I Thought Those Guys Broke Up Raw Black Metal)
I thought those guys broke up? Ritual Suicide most certainly did call it the end in 2019, so what have we here in October 2020? Nocturnal Haematolagnia was finished before the band’s demise and we needed one last dose of this crazy Ukrainian black metal vampire attack before we called it quits, right? Perhaps, […]
Necromaniac Artworks \ Soulseller Records \ Swedeath \ Sweden
Repuked – Dawn of Reintoxication (Swedeath with a Myspace Page)
Lol these fooking clowns. I knew Repuked was going to spew vomit from the moment I saw their name, followed by the album title, lol Dawn of Reintoxication, and then band photos where they clearly could give a shit with grocery bags left in the shot, a double-wide lawn chair, someone holding a foot […]
California \ Gothic death metal \ Transcending Obscurity Records \ Zé Burnay
Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns (Two Bittersweet Tracks of Blackened Gothic Death Metal)
At first I thought there was something wrong with this promo. Two tracks of “death metal”, WTF? That’s practically single length, barely an EP in my books. But okay it’s an EP I guess. So here’s the thing about EPs. You have to prove yourself fast and hard or it’s all over. You hear […]
Amor Fati Productions \ Germany \ Karmazid \ occult black metal
Häxenzijrkell – Die Nachtseite (Halloween Black Metal is Good)
Can this occult aesthetic hold out forever? It does for Halloween, at least, so why not black metal? And hey, we even have an orange and black theme for this one so quite fitting as we move into October. Witch, goat, cauldron, alchemical symbol for lead, skull, and some sword shit also. Yep, 20% […]
hard rock \ Majestic Mountain Records \ Shane Horror \ sludge \ stoner metal \ Sweden
Laser Dracul – Hagridden (Moldy Old Dude Stoner Metal)
Well this was surprisingly good, holy shit. I mean don’t fault me too much because these guys are coming at you with lasers and some Dracula shit and, more importantly, they’re playing stoner/sludge/doom metal that usually collapses under the weight of stereotype. Said institutions have not done better in this regard, most often. So […]
blackened thrash \ Dying Victims Productions \ Germany \ Paolo Girardi
Blackevil – Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire (They Meant to Spell it That Way Blackened Thrash)
This is a great example of an album I really hated at first but then love, but it’s not what you’d call a “grower,” it’s rather I didn’t entirely get it at first. First things first, they’re apparently using the British spelling of “baptise,” because I guess the Germans learn their English that way […]
blackened thrash \ Hex Graphics \ Norway \ Pulverised Records
Evoke – Seeds of Death (Nasty Filthy Angry Blackened Thrash)
I feel like this is always a great way to end a week and usher in the weekend beeoches. Nasty, filthy, and angry thrash. Open the week with funeral doom, end it with this, that’s what I say. Unfortunately the promos don’t respond often enough to make that a permanent reality, so you’ll have […]
Aural Music \ dark folk \ Italy \ Paola Erre \ Russia
kariti – Covered Mirrors (A Dark Folk Emotional Purge through Loss)
To be honest I simply reworded kariti’s own Bandcamp blurb for my subtitle of this one because her words were so poignant alone but I didn’t want to seem totally incapable of thought. But thoughts are lacking today, as a rule. I’m at a total loss for thoughts and words, or better to say […]
