Vastum – Inward to Gethsemane (Shameful Death Metal Eroticism)
For some bizarre reason it took me some time to get into this one, but don’t let that fool you, it’s an absolute ripper. I’ll blame the weather or something, because clearly my mind just wasn’t ready for it. Again, strange, because I find a certain site rating this much lower than would I, […]

Torture Rack – Primeval Onslaught (Better Than Good Enough Death Metal)
These past two weeks I’ve had a bunch of “eh, good enough” death metal promos to sort through. And you know what? I don’t have time for that anymore! I don’t want “good enough,” especially not with “eh,” I want better than good enough! I want at least almost better than that! The best […]

Ulthar – Anthronomicon (Abomination Metal)
Ulthar can do no wrong at this point, pretty sure about that. When we last encountered them I was thrilled by the music, but disgusted at the thematics, which were, ugh, Lovecraft BS; a theme far too many metal bands have milked dry until only blood remains, and you don’t even want any of […]

Atramentus – Stygian (Reminder, Funeral Doom is Good)
This came at the perfect time because I feel like I needed a reminder that funeral doom can be good. Well, maybe the reminder is more for you actually, cause like I knew that shit already. And this reminder (for you) is being brought to us today by Atramentus, who come from some unspecified […]

Skeleton – S/T (Dark Basement Thrash)
This kind of thrash conjures my favorite vision. Imagine a basement in a lower-middle income, at best, town somewhere in a broken down, former industrial center of the US, probably Ohio (actually Texas here, technically). Imagine in that shit hole a local quickie gas station is the only “entertainment” and in that doldrums is […]

Ulthar – Cosmovore (Lovecraft Does It, Sigh, AGAIN)
Now here’s a good one, musically speaking… Thematically it almost killed me with redundancy, which I’ll explain, but these guys are so skilled at what they do I could ignore it, mainly because I didn’t know what any of it was about until after I listened about 10 times. California’s Ulthar are true masters […]

Ghastly – Death Velour (Finnish Death Metal Tho)
Man that Finnish death metal sound. How I forgot! How I could go on about it forever, though this is only the second band in memory I liked from Finland. Out of any country plugging the death metal hole till bursting, Sweden is the one that consistently gets the attention. Not because it’s all so good, […]
