Brain Dead Zine \ death grind \ Hells Headbangers \ murderous \ Pierre de Palmas \ United States
When I hear bands open up the pork factory from track one (vocals is what I’m saying), I normally zone out fast and then tune out faster. But some bands know how to work classic deliveries in ways that just goddamn work and we can’t let the complaints remain. That’s not so simple with […]
Awakening Records \ crust metal \ death metal \ giallo metal \ gore metal \ Italy \ Paolo Girardi
I feel like a new war is developing, a war between two countries. It’s sure to be a war the human race will never forget! Lol, did you think I was getting political? This is about death metal fools! I’m talking here about the ongoing pressure from Chile upon Italy and vice fucking versa. […]
atmospheric black metal \ blackened death metal \ esoteric black metal \ experimental black metal \ Finland \ Igor Datkiewicz \ occult black metal \ Poland \ Primitive Reaction
Yay, I remember these guys! And apparently part of the band is in Finland now or something, but who cares? If you’re into nihilistic, occult soul sacrifice, that’s the only thing that really matters. Last time I encountered Throat was over two years ago, and it’s great to see that they’re still depraved as […]
blackened speed metal \ blackened speed thrash \ blackened thrash metal \ Germany \ I Hate Records \ Sebastián Frigerio
I simply adore bands that so visibly lean into Satanic and demonic themes, but it has to be done in a certain way, almost a self-deferential lack of care. Frills required. Such as spikes fashioned into upside-down crosses, photographs in cemeteries with a bit of blasphemy, fire, skulls (plastic, of course), so yes Germany’s […]
bestial black metal \ blackened death metal \ Konstantyn Kopacz \ militant black metal \ militant death metal \ Primitive Reaction \ Ukraine \ Warhead Art \ Костянтин Копач
I mean what needs to be said here? I’d keep it brief, but my hands demand something of substance. Consisting of members of some of the hardest bands in history (Drudkh, for example), Bras D’Honneur take the French “arm of honor” and create from it not merely a lewd gesture, but an entire pathway […]
BenJ \ funeral doom \ Georgia \ Meuse Music Records \ Winterkeep
It’s a mistake listening to this album, at any time of the day. It will darken the brightest light, turn into void the blackest of nights. But how fulfilling it feels to listen through Qroba by Georgia’s (the country) Ennui to let the funereality flow over me. I could pull out a number of […]
Dying Victims Productions \ fantasy metal \ Finland \ Gustave Doré \ heavy metal \ melodic heavy metal
Here’s an album that took me some time to grasp. I won’t say “grower,” because honestly Finland’s Chalice know what they’re doing. This doesn’t grow on you, you need to grow on it. Because these guys really know what they’re doing. The issue was simple, being that I was simply not used to listening […]
20 Buck Spin \ blackened death metal \ Dublin \ Ireland \ Khaos Diktator Design \ Stefan Todorović
The Irish are a proud folk, and now they should be prouder, because their native soil and blood has led to the creation of one of the greatest blackened death metal bands in history. This is more than a landmark, it’s a stela upon an entire country. No, better yet, an obelisk. No, no, […]
Alex Ram1 \ anarcho hardcore \ anarcho punk \ blackened hardcore \ blackened punk \ Caligari Records \ hardcore punk \ Russia
Now here’s a nice combination of details that came together exactly as they probably would have. I don’t think anyone involved had a choice. Vladimir, Russia, is a relatively small city that most foreigners would know nothing about. But we’ll avoid the history and focus on this ferocious horror that comes from its streets, […]
Bvllmetalart \ death thrash \ hellfire \ Indonesia \ Satanic thrash \ Tarung Records \ Timbul Cahyono \ Witches Brew
I normally only review after release if a drop deserves it. This means we have here a rare instance of such a situation, but with some details I should make clear. Indonesia’s Slakter is somewhat unpolished in their particular presentation of death thrash, but it’s their energy and clear dedication to their craft, not […]
