SWAN MEAT – FLESH WORLD (MMO and Anime Music But Cool)
Man that’s a great cover. It’s like totally anime and MMO or something, but the good stuff only. So that’s one-line intro, or two-line rather, for today because combining anime and MMO music into something worthy of transcending background music is exactly what FLESH WORLD is about. SWAN MEAT I’ve known for some years […]

Necrobode – Sob o Feitiço do Necrobode (WARsome Metal)
I’m either going through a phase or this type metal is just always good. I know you all call it “war metal” but since it’s so awesome I like to call it “warsome metal.” The term will never stick, but I can claim it as my own. So Necrobode I’ve heard, and they’ve screamed […]

Daughter (Stab in the Daddy Heart by Daria Kashcheeva)
Here’s one that stabs deep in the daddy heart. I love Eastern European animation. These days everyone’s about anime, and I get it, but before Japan came Eastern Europe. The Czech animation machine was legendary. Old Czech Legends (1953) or Fantastic Planet (1973, lol some people think it’s French), being two choice cuts. Since […]

On Thorns I Lay – Threnos (Melodideathdoom Lol I’m a Writer)
I’m starting to realize Lifeforce Records has this “thing” with melodic metal bands who absolutely kill in the production and presentation. Sometimes setting a niche for yourself is good, except with pornogrind. Just let those fools have their netlabels and their weird community of drum machine, family-in-the-audience shows. So back to melodic metal, in […]

SUUM – Cryptomass (Not Total Ass Italian Doom)
Okay Italy, okay, there is hope, after all. In case you missed it, which I know you did, I’ve been ripping on Italian doom metal over the past couple years because pretty much any submission I’ve gotten from the country in said genre has been total ass. The primary reason is this strange tendency […]

Die Young (Socialist Dystopia Survival Horror)
Die Young is a first-person survival horror excursion into your wildist “rich white study abroad live laugh love but really just drinking” dreams from Indiegala, where you control Daphne, extreme sports enthusiast turned kidnapee on a mysterious island where a bunch of socialist freaks are working on utopia. As usual, that means killing anyone […]

Frayle – 1692 (Bitter Doom for the Broken Soul)
Most doom is satisfied thematically with smoking or taking drugs, tossing tabletop RPG dice, witch stuff, or plain sloth. They don’t hide it, either, and with a simple name or cover you know exactly what to expect and you’re both disappointed and not. But as of late female-fronted doom has been a particular favorite […]
Sarcator – Visions of Purgatory (Former Metallica Worship Blackened Thrash)
Finland seems to be the experimental mecca of metal these days, but what about Sweden? It’s tucked there in the middle between that and koovoolt Norway. You certainly know Sweden’s hailed as the mecca of WTF metal with bizarre vocal delivery, complex solo passages, and the like, but never really fully experimental. So it’s […]

Bone Mother (Baba-Yaga Pronounced Correctly Folk Horror)
The horror industry should really dig into folklore more, from anywhere, and lose the jumpscares. I don’t mean dig in there, steal some stuff, and then claim it as one’s own, I mean let it reveal itself. Case in point this recent, animated, true-to-the-original short, Bone Mother, which draws on Russian folklore, in particular […]

Sobranie 8 18 – S/T (No Annoying ASCII Symbols Witch House)
Yeah I needed some witchery in my lifedeath and this just happened to pop in the promos only a few days before it officially drops. Good. You metal, punk, death thrash, and whatever else clowns need to lose your lucidity once in awhile and melt away. Sit back, listen, brain bleed, absorb. Get the […]
