Awakening Records \ blackened thrash \ Poland \ Roman Strackiewicz
Magnus – Scarlet Slaughterer (Polish Thrash Speed Blood Metal)
I normally avoid reviewing reissues for the simple fact that they’re pretty common knowledge by the time they’re dumped again. Otherwise they wouldn’t be in consideration for reprinting, you know? But reissues of the same shit without a lick of anything new? No go here, I’m afraid, do a Googlite or Bingly search if […]

TRUP – KE (Ghost of Christmas Black Death Noise)
Oh shit it’s the ghost of Christmas future except it never goes away. So that makes it like a ghost of black death noise I suppose. As far as I can tell one of the freaks in TRUP made the cover of KE with a cheap phone cam and a hoodie but man it […]
France \ Great Dane Records \ melodic death metal \ putrid death metal \ Skaðvaldur
Iron Flesh – Summoning the Putrid (Melodic Putridity Metal of Death)
Now here’s some filthy garbage even an incinerator can’t purge, though I’m still thoroughly confused as to how the band actually writes their name. It’s either “IronFlesh” or “Iron Flesh” and honestly that annoys the piss out of me. But anyway for this Christmas Eve Summoning the Putrid is a nice one since it’s […]
Hells Headbangers \ Italy \ speed metal \ thrash punk \ Velio Josto
Children of Technology – Written Destiny (Pay Your Child Support Thrash Punk)
Yeah I like Motörhead now, but it’s because of Children of Technology. I know, Lemmy had sex with eight kabillion women and that makes him a rawk star because he did it while snorting dishwasher powder and drinking Tide and then had kids he refused to acknowledge unless they soloed on stage with him […]
Amor Fati Productions \ fiery black metal \ France
Sainte Marie des Loups – Funérailles de feu (Italics for Emphasis French Black Metal)
Everything about this screamed commit thyself to the flames from the second I looked at it. Bleeding eye femme with a sword? A band name that references wolves? An album about funerals in fire? A sold out (damn it) vinyl release in red/black marble with a black and white cover? I mean everything about […]
Maggot Stomp \ Matt Browning \ New York \ Prosthetic Records \ Rochester \ rotting death metal
Undeath – Lesions of a Different Kind (Welcome the New Lords of Rotting Death Metal)
I knew this was going to be some sordid puke when I scoped the cover. I’m not even sure what the hell’s going on in it but I like it. Like is it some living cave that gave birth to a pseudo-human android slime or something? How can you cut off someone’s head with […]
cyberpunk \ horror game \ Nintendo Switch \ PC \ point-and-click video games \ Steam
Sense – 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story (Cyberpunk Big Chest Horror Click Game)
Everyone be talking about cyberpunk stuff this month even though they never played a lick of that Shadowrun until yesterday. Or they’re all talking about Neuromancer like it’s hot when it’s pretty crap, actually. So it’s obviously the flavor of the week, or rather year or longer depending on how long indie devs can […]
Austria \ Invictus Productions \ Jaime Pascual Sanz \ vampiric black metal
Transilvania – Of Sleep and Death (That Vampiric Black Metal Stuff)
Now isn’t this some shit? Just this past week I was talking about how the holiday season always brings out the “Transilvania Hunger” covers and here we have a band naming themselves Transilvania who’re also obsessing over that vampire thing. I mean it couldn’t be more perfect and that’s in the musical sense too, […]
Cleveland \ Dima Andreyuk \ grind \ Ohio \ Seeing Red Records \ United States
To Dust – Nightmare Cycles (Not Necessarily a Sin Grind)
Grind bands rarely take themselves seriously enough. I’ll never forget this one promo I got where dude dropped a fart in the middle of a song cut. Or if grinders take themselves seriously they do it’s in such a short amount of space you’re not entirely convinced they did anything. To Dust falls into […]
Darkness Shall Rise Productions \ Germany \ Into Endless Chaos Records \ Misanthropic Art \ nihilistic death metal
Archaic Thorn – Eradication (Nihilistic Death Metal for Lunch)
Lunch time freaks. Catching up on some backlog I was first going to pass on this German death metal trio, but those echo vocals had me going too strong to let it pass me by. Archaic Thorn certainly have a more clever take on the anti-Christian stuff by only so slightly referring to it […]
