Orthodoxy – Ater Ignis (Macabre Occult Death Metal)
Now here’s a solid release. Orthodoxy are a relatively new act from the recent Spanish vanguard of the macabre, with members from bands you mostly probably haven’t heard of. Ah, that’s how we like it around here! Obscure, dark…ahhh. So relaxing! Ater Ignis is but their second full-length, but continues their development into a […]

Pleasure (Swedish Fantasy Crushing Drama)
Linnea, like many young girls in today’s warp-speed society, wants to be famous and fast. She comes from Sweden and longs to see her name light up social media and will do just about anything in order to achieve that dream. Rechristening herself “Bella Cherry,” she turns to the world of hardcore porn to […]

OvO – Ignoto (Antideluvian Industrial Black Metal Sludge Drone HS)
Holy shit. Sometimes I wonder why I continue to curate promos, but I must remind myself it’s simple. One, not enough time to do everything, and two, most of what I receive is B average at best. Why bother? But, now and then I get something like OvO here and just have to say […]

Medieval Demon – Black Coven (Macabre Romantic Black Metal)
They have…returned. I was first made privy to Medial Demon over a year ago upon reviewing their last full-length, Arcadian Witchcraft. Mixing macabre romanticism with occult horror was a nice mix, including church organ in the instrument line-up, which lent a sound in fitting with their themes. This time around, though still carrying that […]

Cartel Tycoon (1980s Narcotics Business Sim)
Lol what a perfect idea for a game. I love playing sims, mostly those of the deep dive type made famous by Side Meier. Civilization, duh. In his incredible programming career, dude also started the tycoon craze, whereby the player runs some sort of business. He was not the first to conceive of this […]

Der Fan / The Fan (West German New Wave Horror Thriller)
You ever go to a concert and see that lost soul in the corner with the faraway thousand-yard stare? Yeah, I think you have…this movie is about one of those. Long unseen for many years aside from those of us unlucky enough to discover it in the Adult section of the video store (where it snuck out under the name Trance) and scholars such as Chas […]

Shriek of the Mutilated (Killer Yeti Trash Horror Film in 4K)
From the filmmakers behind Snuff and Invasion of the Blood Farmers comes Shriek of the Mutilated. That’s right, this long-dormant creature feature is back to win over an unsuspecting world once again. Perhaps the first and maybe only low-budget monster mash centered around a yeti, this film is in its own haphazard way wildly […]

Expedition Zero (Finish Your Chores Survival Horror)
Here I go again with a survival horror review, am I going to say it? Yes. The genre usually relies on story. In many cases it’s more like playing a book than a game, because the player is left to click on obvious items while following a force-fed path as the plot unfolds. I […]

Barbarian – Viperface (Regressive to the Core but Not a Bore Thrash Metal)
I like the way these guys play, on two counts. One, the literally playing of the music, and two, the playing with the audience. Not so easy a task when you be playing that retro type of thrash, which can sink into its own past too often and lose the listener in bygone eras, […]

Cara Neir – Phantasmal (Cybergrind Chiptunes Screamo Horror)
Yo let me break the “don’t review after release” rule I set some years ago. Sometimes, my will be done, because rarely do I get stuff like this, and typically after release too like WTF. Like get on that earlier promo train sons. Anyway so Cara Neir came out of nowhere, or, actually, I […]
