Apochryphal Revelation –  Primeval Devilish Wisdom (Crayola Cover Occult Black Metal)

Apochryphal Revelation – Primeval Devilish Wisdom (Crayola Cover Occult Black Metal)

  Man we got some Crayola (trademark not approved) shit going on up in here with this killing the Jesus cover, which only adds another layer of coolness to this slab of occult trash. Apochryphal Revelation have lived in obscurity for awhile and it’s been three years since they peeked from out of the dark […]

Glacier – The Passing of Time (The Power Metal Crown Has Passed)

Glacier – The Passing of Time (The Power Metal Crown Has Passed)

  These dudes are so carefree, and it’s such a welcome, chill breath upon the skin. I knew they were chill when I checked out the band photo. Band photos can tell you pretty much 90% about a band and its music. So here we have these dudes just standing there, almost no emotion, against […]

Occult Burial – Burning Eerie Lore (Sacrificing Saplings Occult Thrash)

Occult Burial – Burning Eerie Lore (Sacrificing Saplings Occult Thrash)

  I knew this would be good when I saw the band photo with three dudes sacrificing a with torches, or it may have been a sapling, and one is looking all spooky while in the process of growing balder and totally doesn’t give a shit if you notice. Thrash has proven one of the […]

Svartsyn – Requiem (More of the Same Yet Better Black Metal)

Svartsyn – Requiem (More of the Same Yet Better Black Metal)

  Yeah, so like I was on a lull this week, and the last week, because 100% of the promos I received sucked and there was seriously nothing worth your time. So if anyone said there was they’re stupid and you should stop paying attention to them. So I had a conundrum at that point. […]

The Yellow Night (Brazilian Grind Art Horror)

The Yellow Night (Brazilian Grind Art Horror)

  Stop me if you’ve heard this: a group of teenagers travels to an isolated island for a debauched graduation party weekend. Disregarding oblique warnings from vaguely menacing locals, they arrive at one of the teens’ family estate. When someone goes missing, it becomes evident that something terrifying lurks in the shadows enshrouding the island. […]

Ritual Suicide – Nocturnal Haematolagnia (I Thought Those Guys Broke Up Raw Black Metal)

Ritual Suicide – Nocturnal Haematolagnia (I Thought Those Guys Broke Up Raw Black Metal)

  I thought those guys broke up? Ritual Suicide most certainly did call it the end in 2019, so what have we here in October 2020? Nocturnal Haematolagnia was finished before the band’s demise and we needed one last dose of this crazy Ukrainian black metal vampire attack before we called it quits, right? Perhaps, […]

Repuked – Dawn of Reintoxication (Swedeath with a Myspace Page)

Repuked – Dawn of Reintoxication (Swedeath with a Myspace Page)

  Lol these fooking clowns. I knew Repuked was going to spew vomit from the moment I saw their name, followed by the album title, lol Dawn of Reintoxication, and then band photos where they clearly could give a shit with grocery bags left in the shot, a double-wide lawn chair, someone holding a foot […]

Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns (Two Bittersweet Tracks of Blackened Gothic Death Metal)

Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns (Two Bittersweet Tracks of Blackened Gothic Death Metal)

  At first I thought there was something wrong with this promo. Two tracks of “death metal”, WTF? That’s practically single length, barely an EP in my books. But okay it’s an EP I guess. So here’s the thing about EPs. You have to prove yourself fast and hard or it’s all over. You hear […]

Häxenzijrkell – Die Nachtseite (Halloween Black Metal is Good)

Häxenzijrkell – Die Nachtseite (Halloween Black Metal is Good)

  Can this occult aesthetic hold out forever? It does for Halloween, at least, so why not black metal? And hey, we even have an orange and black theme for this one so quite fitting as we move into October. Witch, goat, cauldron, alchemical symbol for lead, skull, and some sword shit also. Yep, 20% […]

Laser Dracul – Hagridden (Moldy Old Dude Stoner Metal)

Laser Dracul – Hagridden (Moldy Old Dude Stoner Metal)

  Well this was surprisingly good, holy shit. I mean don’t fault me too much because these guys are coming at you with lasers and some Dracula shit and, more importantly, they’re playing stoner/sludge/doom metal that usually collapses under the weight of stereotype. Said institutions have not done better in this regard, most often. So […]
