Abigail / Nekrofilth – Fuck in Hell’s Evil Bitches (Incorrect Grammar Blackened Thrash / Hardcore Punk)
I usually complain about splits, primarily because one band outweighs the other, but let’s forget about that today because this is not such a case. This is Abigail fools! The rulers of splits! The kings of splits! The god emperors of splits! The demiurges of splits! Say it how you want, but these guys […]

Blasphemous II (Sins are Good and Evil is the Way to Win Metroidvania)
Blasphemous II is fantastic. If you loved the first one, the sequel is everything that was but better. A cool weapon? Now there’s (at least) three to choose from. Amazing bosses? Blasphemous II introduces even more incredible designs. New mechanics that allow you to backtrack through old places unlocking secrets? Dozens more are here. […]

Invultation – Feral Legion (Werewolf Metal)
You know, I’ve seen the werewolf theme used quite a bit in metal, in a variety of genres too. Sometimes it’s cheese, sometimes it’s sleaze, mostly, just please. Rarely does it offer a band a chance at greatness, it’s kind of too golden age to work as I’ve seen it mainly presented, but, well, […]

Body Void – Atrocity Machine (Physically Revolting Acid Metal)
This is like political, crusted, body horror sludge or something, or let’s just say acid metal. That’s the best I could come up with today, and thankfully I hit upon this in the emails because it came in a bit late. Got a few days late to scrunch it in there so let’s do […]

Don’t Answer the Phone (Disturbed Veteran Slasher Shlock)
Taking it back to the Dawn of the Reagan Era this month with Don’t Answer the Phone. This by-the-numbers Kenneth Bianchi/Ted Bundy schlocker is elevated to somewhere near greatness by a balls-out performance by Nicholas Worth that will leave you grasping your chair in genuine fear. As for the rest of the film? Well, […]

Sadistic Force – Midnight Assassin (Slasher Metal)
You know a band’s killer when they’ve only been around three years but sound like they’ve been around thirty. But, hey, also you can’t be riding that retro thing too hard, otherwise we just feel old. Do I want to feel nostalgic? Sure. But I want to feel young, I want to feel like […]

The Answer Lies in the Black Void – Thou Shalt (Hypnagogic Doom Metal)
Now there’s a mouthful of a band name! And Thou Shalt is a mouthful of an album. Atmospheric types of doom seem to take one of two primary approaches; either they crush with overwhelming chaos or, as in the case of The Answer Lies in the Black Void, they crush with dreamstates. That particular […]

Churchburner (Black Metal Gangsta Rap Metafiction)
This landed into my emails with no description apart from something along the lines of “this sounds good!!” So when I tried to search it up for myself, just to get a little insight, apart from its obvious namesake, I trawled and found very little. But I was increasingly intrigued because of it. No […]

Seraphic Entombment – Sickness Particles Gleam (Pre-Cambrian Fetid Death Doom)
Angry angry angry! You guys are sure angry! But, hey, you’d be this angry if you dripped off the walls of a sewer like Seraphic Entombment did. That ooze sticking in the mortar poured probably before time itself? That’s Seraphic Entombment. The misshapen pre-Cambrian artefacts of life that crawled from the seas and died […]

Vanishing Kids – Miracle of Death (Psychedelic Gloom Metal)
I always wanted to be a melty-faced teen and now that dream is realized even though I’m in my 40s. Vanishing Kids are like one of those “sleeper hits,” but a band, and the major difference being that their latest, Miracle of Death, is absolutely not unpromising upon release. I mean, like, shit, okay […]
