Syning – S/T (Catacomb Synth Depressing Black Metal)
Oh groan, I said, scoping the cover of this. I like my corpses in black and white, but though I’m not 100% certain I’m pretty sure this is yet another metal cover utilizing a shot from the Capuchin catacombs. If not, something close to it and when repetition of this nature is strong, you […]
blackened doom metal \ Caligari Records \ Czech Republic \ Czechia \ death doom
Můra – Doom Invocations and Narcotic Rituals (Opium Addicted Death Doom)
Lol these filthy shits. I can’t remember the last time I reviewed a Czech band but I’m not going to bother to look because these guys are all that matter at the moment. I often wish blackened metal, of any attached genre, would just slow the hell down now and then. Really does it […]
Lavadome Productions \ No Peace at the Gate \ Shaari Moth \ Technical Death Metal \ Texas
Cambion – Conflagrate the Celestial Refugium (Conundrum Inducing Technical Death Metal)
It’s been a bad week or so for promos, let me start there. Everything I’ve received has been a disappointment; either failing miserably with the art, or reaching, at best, average achievements in the music. That brings us to Texas’ Cambion. To be honest, I found this to be a goddamn conundrum at first. […]
ancient black metal \ Greece \ hells headbangers \ melodic black metal
Medieval Demon – Arcadian Witchcraft (Ancient B00bs Black Metal)
Now here’s a band that can get people into trouble. Well, specifically me. And to be more specific it’s because many of their band photos include female booby slaves and social media doesn’t like the reality of the human body. Therefore… I mean the aesthetic is ace and somehow makes corpse paint look cool […]
grindcore \ mathcore \ Nick Povey \ powerviolence \ Prosthetic Records \ United Kingdom
Pupil Slicer – Mirrors (Powerviolence Mathcore and Grind with a Purpose)
Ah so glad I received this so everyone can STFU that I don’t review music of this type. I just rarely get the good stuff. How many times do I have to say that? I guess every time since people tend to stop here once in their life for that one thing they heard […]
Antiq Label \ dark folk \ France \ Maéna
Wÿntër Ärvń – Abysses (Black Metal Folk Stuff)
A little late on this review, but I wanted to let Wÿntër Ärvń sink into my being more before I made my final decision. It was necessary, for I rarely receive folk that truly captures my attention, dark folk probably least of all. Not familiar sir, you think? Never, most of it simply fails […]
France \ Loïc Muzy \ orchestral death metal \ steam punk
Exanimis – Marionnettiste (Orchestral Steam Punk Death Metal)
So I was thoroughly surprised by this one and now I have a deep-seated craving for orchestral death metal with steam punk stuff going on. Not black metal, I get a bit of that, like I want more bands to do this kind of thing but perhaps it’s just too hard for the provincials, […]
Blood Harvest Records \ Dayan Weller \ depraved metal \ Finland \ gore metal \ Headsplit Records \ La Caverna Records
Sadistic Drive – Anthropophagy (Dirty Finnish Depraved Metal)
Let’s end this week (I think I’m ending it) with some depraved metal ye fools. I was hit with at least one other Finnish band of this style, more on the grind side, this past month, and man did they suck. You can almost tell immediately by the art whether a band of this […]
dakka dakka metal \ Godz Ov War Productions \ Poland \ Wilson Germán Arrieta
Chainsword – Blightmarch (Dakka Dakka Metal)
Ooooh those angry, angry Poles playing their video games. Still getting out that war angst I suppose. It’s understandable, the country was wrecked by subjugation and terror for like five-hundred years until the end of WWII, so I’d be pretty pissed too. But hey, I’ll allow it for at least one reason, that being […]
California \ Carbonized Records \ grindcore \ San Jose \ Stephen Bower
Socioclast – S/T (Bittersweet Grindcore)
Well this was surprisingly enjoyable for an album that first appears to be a rip off of some Teitanblood shit, but not nearly as long. In fact it’s not even half of that or so. Albums that deliver in such a short span of time are amazing to me when they work. Most bands […]
