Lazer Station – MEGABOMB SOUND SYSTEM VOL. 1 (Post-Industrial Cybergoth)
Yay I’m on an industrial kick this week thanks to Bandcamp tagging! After that last one I was hoping to find something more traditional, and here we go. Mixing old style with modern post-industrial, cybergoth, and other things of the electronic dark, Lazer Station was a welcome surprise in a landscape otherwise densely populated […]

Duivel – Heiligschennis (Truly Blasphemous Black Metal)
Lol man, this cover. The cut-and-paste painting style displays one of the most vile things I’ve ever seen. It’s sure to defile, and much like the band who dared to have it crafted, Duivel, its blasphemous in ways more glaring than you’d first expect. If you’re familiar with Dutch black metal in the slightest, […]

Primal Rage (Giallo Bio-Horror)
At the tail end of the 1980s, the Italian horror business was in crisis mode. Argento had fled after Opera for an attempt at grabbing the brass ring of a career in America. Fulci had taken ill and his sporadic output suffered as a result. Lamberto Bava never fulfilled his early promise and Michele […]

Infernal Curse – Revelations Beyond Insanity (Moldy Bestial Blackened Death Metal)
Now here’s a gross band. You’re going to feel unclean after this one, sorry. Infernal Curse is one of the most respected bands out of the Argentinian underground and this, their only third full-length in 15 years, has been highly anticipated since they first hinted at it three years ago. Most of their output […]

Cement Tea – Funny Music For The Prettiest Faces Out There (Hardcore Anime Industrial)
I was digging back through some old industrial (yeah, EDM, EBM, whatever you want to call it) CDs that were the jam back in the 1990s, tossed them in the car to recall memories I shouldn’t remember, and I realized, hey, I haven’t gotten any industrial promos in months! So I dug around. Most […]

Carnage on 84th Street (Noir Unless Gore Splatter Crime)
Judith Sonnet has always been the author I go to when I fancy reading something unapologetically gory and horrific, whilst also being able to provide a great and well-rounded story. This read was no different but with a crime focus. Think Sin City vibes; dark and dreary, falling rain, and everything colorless unless it’s […]

Torture Rack – Primeval Onslaught (Better Than Good Enough Death Metal)
These past two weeks I’ve had a bunch of “eh, good enough” death metal promos to sort through. And you know what? I don’t have time for that anymore! I don’t want “good enough,” especially not with “eh,” I want better than good enough! I want at least almost better than that! The best […]

Aodon – Portraits (Emotional Atmospheric Black Metal)
Again I’m convinced only the French can pull this style off as well as they do. People always rip on French stereotypes, and maybe there’s occasionally some truth in it, but if there’s one stereotype of which they should be proud, it’s their absolute mastery of emotional, atmospheric black metal. I mean jeez every […]

Barotrauma (Claustrophobic Navigational Incompetence Simulator)
Barotrauma is nothing if not claustrophobic. From the fact that your characters’ heads are mere inches from the ceiling, to the tiny control rooms sectioned off by manually operated doors, you’re instantly set with a sense of dread. A sense of unknown vastness for you to explore in this flimsy, tiny little claustrophobic pillbox. […]

Kvad – So Old (Raw Blackened Noise Metal)
Uh oh a black metal band from Norway? Will this be, perhaps, trite? If you see it on this site you know that’s never the case anymore! We don’t bother with negative reviews because if it’s not the best then screw it. We curate, we barely elaborate, that’s the standard. Kvad is much different […]
