Throat – Blood Exaltation (Possessed Black Metal)
Can musicians, or rather a band itself, be…possessed? I feel like possession has become too trite in media, so maybe that’s not a good idea, but then again has it been done yet for bands in particular? I’ll assume not and say that Poland/Finland’s Throat is just such a band. At some point in […]

Contaminated – Celebratory Beheading (Regal Beast Metal)
Uh oh, MF Contaminated is back! I remembered the name from the memories of the hulking beast cover on a previous album, and yet again I was struck by their utilization of catchy artwork, which in this case is a simple shot from the film La Reine Margot (1994). Effective. But, at any rate, […]

Stasis: Bone Totem (Bury Thine Sins Under the Sea Bio-Horror Point-and-Click)
Stasis: Bone Totem was a game I first became aware of via MandaloreGaming, and the premise of an underground bio-horror station seemed compelling. I was not disappointed, and neither will you be. For fans of the old school, point-and-click adventure genre mixed with modern top-down isometric controls, Stasis: Bone Totem is a delightful bio-horror […]

A Gun for Jennifer (Poster Says it All Revenge Thriller)
It’s “Vinegar Syndrome Month” here at Deaf Sparrow and this writer would like to highlight two exceptional releases that are currently flying under the proverbial radar. These are criminally underrated films that will blow your fucking socks off if given the chance yet through some bizarre circumstances or just poor judgment on behalf of […]

No One Rides for Free (Absolutely Disgusting Splatter Horror)
I found myself pondering what the best way to start my New Year’s off with, looked in my TBR, and made the decision that a short and sweet Judith Sonnet special would do the trick. Let’s just say, would I class it as “the best way?” I don’t actually know. Books like this make it […]

Green Hell VR (Jungle Exploitation Actual Survival Horror)
I heard the legends of the original first-person survival co-op Green Hell when it initially dropped and always intended on reviewing it, or having a writer do it for the site, but simply got caught in other releases and forgot about it. That was, however, until the VR version was announced by Polish developer […]

Unaussprechlichen Kulten – Häxan Sabaoth (Nebulous Occult Death Metal)
There were a few albums I was perusing for the second review of the week of our musick feature, and Unaussprechlichen Kulten was simply a requirement, likely to be a landmark title for 2024. If you’re not familiar with them, you’ve got a nuanced Cthulhu reference from Howard reused in German by Lovecraft? Even […]

Ghoul – Noxious Concotions (Grossover)
I’m fairly surprised I never reviewed Ghoul before. I mean this shit is right up the alley I’ve built around myself and my critics on this site. We’ve branded ourselves so deep the scar went into bone. And with Ghoul we’ve got darkness, irony, vileness, sick art, gross stage presence (with bloody, burlap hoods, […]

Mother’s Day (I Love Mommy Rape Revenge Slasher)
Upon release in 1980, Charles Kaufman’s Mother’s Day has confused, enraged and intrigued audiences the world over with its uneasy mixture of crude humor and sheer terror. Made famous by a scathing takedown by Roger Ebert and praise from FANGORIA, the film continues to baffle with its tonal shifts. Either way, it’s an unforgiving […]

Stuporous – Asylum’s Lament (Grandiloquent Gothic Doom)
Ready to get stupefied? Ready to feel stupid? Well this Dutch blackened doom outfit, Stuporous, will leave you feeling just such a way. Uncertain, confused, not smart enough, overwhelmed perhaps, but certainly interested. It took me a few listens to really feel what these multi-instrument masters were doing, but I still felt stupid listening […]
