Skumstrike – Flawless Intrigue from Hell (Adjectivally Blackened Speed Metal Punk)
I like it when bands have no fucking clue what they’re talking about. You don’t need to even know proper English (or any language) when you bring power like Skumstrike but, yes, let us analyze what’s going on here. Flawless Intrigue from Hell? Bros, WTF does that even mean lol? The adjective is completely […]

Ludgar – Violent Visions (Blackened Vile Thrash Punk)
Well shit, I don’t need to say too much today. After you set the mood with the intro, I could toss out any of the tracks here and say “there you go,” and leave it strictly at that. But I know you need substance, and I get my reel ideas by talking nonsense, so […]

Meurtrier – Messe de Fer (Cemeterial Heavy Metal)
Initially, there was something about Canada’s Meurtrier, or at least their debut full-length, Messe de Fer, that wasn’t sitting right with me. But this seeming lack of somethingrather was actually just that I wasn’t in the mood for it. Not because I shouldn’t have been, but rather because of what I had been listening […]

Dreadnought – Wars of Spirit // Wards of Light (Atmospheric Empyrean Prog Metal)
I judge bands on art and name. You usually can. So when along comes this one, naming themselves after a ship that itself is a word that means “fear nothing,” I expected my soul to be nourished by ethereal glory! Make me into a seraphim I command you! Make my skin shimmer in gold, […]

Dolly (Grindhouse Killer Doll Slasher)
This is a film I went into blind. I found Dolly on Shudder randomly and watched it. Let me tell you that this was the way. Again, I don’t like slashers as much as most horror fans, but this one is a must see. To be fair, definitely not a masterpiece, but it’s new, […]

Sněť – V Bažinách Vědomí (Deeply Rooted Blackened Gore Punk)
Yes, I finally figured out a name for the style of these sickos. Czechia’s Sněť have had my heart (sorry ladies) since I first heard their last full-length, and the romance continues with their latest offering, V Bažinách Vědomí. I could stop there but allow me to be partially verbose, if you please. Sněť, […]

Demonic Manifestation – Grimshrine (Surgical Crypt Metal)
Let me pull straight from the Personal Records promo email for the start of this one. Mexico’s Demonic Manifestation are driven “by a passion for extreme, pure, and honest music.” Forget the rest, because that’s the part that really matters right there. Yeah I could toss out old school, I could toss out death […]

Wyrdstæf – Primordial Bloodlines (Primitive Nature Experimental Blackened Ambient Metal
Just when I think I can’t be surprised anymore along comes a group of freaks with a tested vision like Wyrdstæf, who completely defy so many different genres it’s fruitless to attempt to ground their music in anything. Dubbing themselves extreme metal/dark ambient (close enough), the band has done nothing other than an EP […]

Hesperia – Picenum ~ True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance ~ (Cantasoria Supreme)
The legendary fabulist of old has returned! I first heard word of Picenum ~ True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance ~ (Christ) some months ago, having become a minor acquaintance of the man behind Italy’s Hesperia. I heaped praises on him before for his grandiose manner of storytelling through sound, but though I considered […]

Ninth Realm – Damnation’s Veil (Shirt Worthy Dark Fantasy Death Thrash)
I’m kind of surprised I apparently never heard of these guys until now, but they keep themselves pretty hidden. That or I suck at finding the good stuff (probably this, actually). Ninth Realm have been around for almost a decade, but the majority of their output has been demos and splits, with some the […]
