Tetragrammacide – Typho-Tantric Aphorisms from the Arachneophidian Qur’an (Esoteric Blackened Noise Metal)
I knew these guys would come of age eventually, much like a sad review I wrote about an album drop they did in 2015 (the last EP before this latest full-length, actually). I can’t even believe I’m the same person, so pathetic are the words. But, hey, the best things grow, right? Other than […]

Miserable Abyss – Subaquatic Corporeal Rot (Blackened Experimental Dungeon Synth)
It takes a lot to scare me. In fact, at times, I’m pretty sure I can’t be scared anymore. Then I came across this extremely obscure release by Lisbon’s Miserable Abyss and it scared the shit out of me. I’m actually scared of this. What subhuman soil creature made this? What kind of depraved […]

Throat – We Must Leave You (Geriatric Noise Goth)
Well this is perfect. Tis that season, right? Trees look dead. Leaves collapse as floating corpses. Grass is brown and dormant. Cold is rising and getting under the skin. Ahhh, just love it. So we need at least one Goth-styled release to make it feel complete. Unfortunately, the majority has straight up sucked until […]

Martyrdoom – As Torment Prevails (Pneumoniac Death Doom)
For a name that sounds like a poor play on words at first, these guys can bring it. And talk about a comeback, phew! Having been absent from the scene for roughly six years, it’s almost as though they were reborn to reclaim the glory that was lost. I’ve heard some good death doom […]

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 […]
