Depravation – IV:LETVM (Such a Good German Blackened Crust)
Yesssssss. Gimmie some of that blackened crust yo. This might be a first actually… A first in the sense of this site reviewing such a band, and a first in the sense of such a band being such a good. It might seem like an easy formula since crust is close to death metal […]

Fair Game (Ozploitation Survival Revenge Film
Ozsploitation (or the rough and tumble flicks that came out of the Land Down Under as a result of the worldwide success of both George Miller’s Mad Max films and the Aussie New Wave of directors like Peter Weir) has experienced a frightening new surge in popularity thanks to doyens of culture like Quentin […]

The Callisto Protocol (Alien Crunching Workplace Hazard Survival Horror)
Crunchy. The Callisto Protocol is the crunchiest game of 2022. Your protagonist’s head (Jacob) will go crunch. The enemies limbs, head, and torsos will go crunch after beating them with a stun baton. Your controller will go crunch after being thrown on the ground of one of the most frustrating dodge mechanics in a video […]

Hallows Hill (Fin de siècle Dead Ghost Girl Escape Room Game)
Well, here’s a concept I’m now totally sold on. Most of what I receive for video games is through Epic or Steam, with the occasional console tossed in if we feel like it, because, let’s face it, PC ubermensch is a real thing. Console fools and Xbox douchebags (that’s a true fact, they’re all […]

Winds of Tragedy – Hating Life (Splendid Chilean Blackened Doom Metal)
I really wasn’t expecting anything from this one. Winds of Tragedy? Album titled Hating Life? Get over yourself son. That’s all I could think. You see that doom thing and words like that, with sadgurl on the cover, and you’re ready to puke (not in a good way). Yep, here we go with this… […]

Stormo – Endocannibalismo (Italian Post-Mathcore)
I been bumming cuz I haven’t had any good hardcore in awhile. Actually, is there any lol? Most of those old bands are running on farts at this point (translation: old and uninterested in change). That’s why the whole post-(insert genre) thing gained headway about a decade ago, or was it two? Like, get […]

Christmas Bloody Christmas (Terminator Santa Murder Film)
Is Joe Begos the future of horror? I’ve had this conversation more than once after seeing the masterful and exhilarating VFW and taking a deeper dive into his work on films like Bliss, I’m truly convinced that Mr. Begos is the guy. Like the masters of yore, he sneaks in some of his own […]

Funereality – Til Death (STDeath Metal)
Well isn’t this fun? I’m probably going to far with my chosen fake genre for today, but it’s just how I’m feeling, okay?! After the downfall of Pungent Stench and a more recent release of an album stuck in production hell for years that was a general blah, I really missed that filthy groove […]

Cadaver Shrine – Benighted Desecration (Blackened Death Doom of the Funereal Quality)
I sometimes wonder if Maurice de Jong, known primarily for his project Gnaw Their Tongues, is like superhuman or something. The number of notable bands he’s constructed, all of a dark and experimental style, would practically be a review in itself. Simply writing them all down would achieve the word count I prefer, but […]

Hello Neighbor 2 (Goosebumps Survival Horror)
I’ve always been a bigger movie dork and music nerd than a gamer, but in the face of doing right by the Captain…looks like it’s time to play them games. What better game to start than the eagerly awaited Hello Neighbor 2. The first installment set the game world on fire with it’s family-friendly […]
