Hagzissa – They Ride Along (Real Specter Metal)
Occasionally a band like this just totally nails the spook thing. It's October, I'm late on reviewing this and disgusted at myself, it's cold only part of the day, and there are fake ghosts about so I need to fully feel the spook. It's a hard angle to play, though, there's a balance between […]

Drofnosura – Voidfever (Sludge Chunk of Depression)
Now and again I come across something like Voidfever and I'm like "where did everyone go?" As the skeletal-faced, hooded thing on the cover by Dusty Ray devours the eyes and pulls inward you become introspective, sullen, and separated. Is it just me listening to this? Why though? It troubles me when a great […]

Lord Gore – Scalpels for Blind Surgeons (What I Thought Carcass Would Sound Like Band)
As I said on Facebook a few times, Lord Gore clearly nails it for best metal band logo ever, any genre, of all time. I mean look at that, right? Every gender gets defiled equally! Talk about modern SJW pleasure centers. But then again I guess with songs like "Million Maggot March" it's pretty […]

Trench Warfare – Hatred Prayer (Ear Infection Death Metal)
It's easy to start back up after a vacation where I got a double ear infection (inner and middle, both ears) with some filthy death metal that sounds just like that. Actually listened to this one quite a bit before I left for that fateful, poisonous trip, so it seems fitting to return with […]

Ogre – When I Land (Isolating Suicidal Noise)
Man, this guy hits hard on so many levels. Aurally, visually, philosophically, mentally, I mean I feel like my soul never existed or was replaced with spider webs covered in wrist blood. I've been trying to dip the site further into noise now and then because it's been so underrepresented, but the problem is […]

Ami-Bique – きょむりま (From Japan = Good Always)
I've been begging for some good noise for so long I decided it's not a musical genre anymore. Harsh noise wall, which is what I usually see in the promo emails, also needs to die. It consistently lacks purpose, the stuff children create. Record AM radio static and add some meaningless, deep title to […]

GrooVenoM – Wir müssen reden (Lol Trancebore)
Sure formula for destruction is core + anything else. See that core? It will, lol, bore. Metalcore, deathcore, anycore, shed a tear for the human race, and then jump off a bridge. Imagine my suicidal thoughts when I saw this particular German troupe in the promos, who annoyingly spell their name with only some […]

Stonecast – I Earther (I Wanter More Space Metal)
Wow, what do you know, I was ripping on power/melodic and whatever else metal a week or so ago and here we are again. Is this the end? The artwork by Stan Decker would seem to suggest so, but I do have some kind words today, at least for Stonecast, and at least a […]

Pounder – Uncivilized (Badass Period Heavy Metal)
I can't remember the last time I reviewed heavy metal. Unlike thrash, which you still feel totally badass for listening to, heavy metal can lack that effect outside of its original context, that is, the olden times. It has a tendency to feel more dated than Satanic imagery in metal at large. Oh shit […]

Fiend – Seeress (Doompth Metal)
Yo I just came up with a new term: "doompth metal." At first read that sounds horrible, like a new taunt. You doompthus! That, another new word, is definitely a taunt, but doompth is not, sometimes. Okay let me be honest here it kind of is. Truth be told it's all I could come […]
