Kontusion – S/T (Raw and Mutilated Death Punk)

Kontusion – S/T (Raw and Mutilated Death Punk)

  Whelp, I died. Another Sentient Ruin smacker. I pretty much guessed that, though, without even scoping the label. Xeroxed cover from a rotted-on-the-insides dumpster nuclear fire? Yep, musical summary right there folks, another example of my “see that cover, this sounds like that” intro. Even better, though, is how the overlapping of lines makes […]

Solipnosis – Síntesis Silenciosa (Reality-Altering Progressive Blackened Speed Metal)

  Dang Chile can you calm the fuck down? Christ you’re killing me here with all this awesome stuff! I’m just going to review stuff from Chile now, sorry everyone, this is a 100% Chilean underground site starting today. Well, of course not, but it could be if I keep getting promos like the latest […]

Intéremo – Buried in Rotten Remains (Crunchy South American Swedeath What?)

Intéremo – Buried in Rotten Remains (Crunchy South American Swedeath What?)

  This one surprised me for one detail. I swore to God and all previous pagan deities and whatever else that this absolutely had to be from somewhere in South America. Chile, I thought. But, nope, actually Sweden! Talk about incorrect! Anyway, this presents a conundrum and something unexpected at the same time. Swedish death […]

The Moth – Frost (Sludge Doom Pop)

  What’s with all this tastiness I’ve been receiving recently? Went through a big glut of metal for awhile and suddenly I’ve been seeing stuff from genres outside of the usual darkness. Sludge doom pop? Yeah, I’ll take that, I need that. Gawsh. I’ve sampled their work before, but their latest, Frost, is a dip […]

Maggot Heart – Hunger (Primal Prophetic Post-Punk)

  I’ve seen a lot of bands defined as “defying categorization,” a bit ironic, yes, but usually also more than a bit wrong. Oftentimes such phraseology is used as an attempt to sell something from the musical bargain bin. That wretched state of existence where everything you never heard of dwells and attempts to scream […]

Noctomb S/T (Wait There’s More, Southern Blackened Sludge)

Noctomb S/T (Wait There’s More, Southern Blackened Sludge)

  Hmm. Well. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a band as versatile as this in any genre. I also like that these guys are from Raleigh, NC, because the scene there has always been this weird mid-level thing for the underground. Not unusual, since it is a college domain, and the expected indie market […]

Abhorrency – Climax of Disgusting Impurities (Bestial Violation Blackened Death Metal)

  Well get ready to consume this one at face fooking value. A multitude of upside-down crosses hide within a festering logo above an image that summarizes the album title below. What’s this one like? Well it’s a Climax of Disgusting Impurities! What else? Honestly though, the face on that child-like goat being is freaking […]

Hexvessel – Polar Veil (Dark Forest Occult Folk Rock)

Hexvessel – Polar Veil (Dark Forest Occult Folk Rock)

  I don’t think I’ve seen many bands with as diverse a discography as Hexvessel. Billed as a variety of things such as occult folk and dark forest rock, this quartet from Finland have been crafting amazing sounds for years now, including godlike artists in their work such as Chelsea Wolfe, but even without these […]

Rorcal – Silence (18th Century Post-Sludgecore Artistry)

Rorcal – Silence (18th Century Post-Sludgecore Artistry)

  Had some really bad promos this month. I almost settled a few times, almost did it, I swear to God I almost did. But I will not! I…WILL…NOT! Glad I abstained, because the new one here from Switzerland’s Rorcal is exactly what I was waiting for. No more compromising! I can’t believe I got […]

Carathis – The Haunting of Sablewood (Spooky Tube Sock Black Metal)

  Holy shit what in the hell was this guy doing before this point? I mean, hey, I appreciate some of the genre-mashing Carathis was engaging in in his dark past, but this, I mean this is truly something else. Hell, last time I reviewed a band from Austria was like three years ago and […]
