Reekmind – Glints from the Crematorium (Effluvial Death Sludge)
Ah how nice it feels to finally review these guys. Australia’s Reekmind sent a promo my way for their last one, Mired in the Reek of Grief, but I passed for reasons I still regret. Generally I judge on art first, and though the cover was completely dismal (in the best way), it had […]

Bring Her Back (Supernatual Folk Horror)
Okay, before you read this, watch the movie. Please. The first time I saw Bring Her Back, it was a split-second decision; I didn’t actually know what it was about, only recognizing it from blowing up on social media. I remembered the hype from people gushing over the gore, but I was so sure […]

Hebephrenique – decathexis (Post-Post Black Metal)
I’m just going to start by saying this is a rare instance where an album deserves a perfect score. And I kind of figured that from the digging into the self suggested by the cover but damn it to hell I didn’t think Australia’s Hebephrenique would be delivering this kind of craziness. I’m barely […]

FLY! – …or Die! (Motorcycle Fume Huffing Dirty Aussie Rock)
Here’s something you all need a dose of, right into the nostrils and up into the brain. Dying Victim Productions has really been taking some chances with his releases in the past few years, giving due to bands no one has heard of yet, but that’s because dude has an ear for the good […]

Mages Terror – Damnation’s Sight (Blackened Fantasy Thrash)
Sometimes I feel like bands just toss shit out when it comes to naming or just aren’t paying attention. Maybe it sounds cool and they don’t consider it further, I don’t know. But shouldn’t “Mages” in Mages Terror have an apostrophe? Does damnation really possess sight? I see an apostrophe on the label’s page […]

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, […]

Carcinoid – Encomium to Extinction (Smarty Pants Grave-Splitting Death Doom)
Well this one surprised me now, didn’t it? Just the other day I was saying how Australia’s Werewolves pretty much satisfies everything you’d need in death metal from the country, but now I decided to add to the list Carcinoid, which opts for the death doom angle, with some cocky smartypants attitude. On the […]

Fair Game (Ozploitation Survival Revenge Film
Ozsploitation (or the rough and tumble flicks that came out of the Land Down Under as a result of the worldwide success of both George Miller’s Mad Max films and the Aussie New Wave of directors like Peter Weir) has experienced a frightening new surge in popularity thanks to doyens of culture like Quentin […]

Eskhaton – Horracle (Nihilistic Death Metal)
Holy…mahgucking…sheissefreide… I mean how else do I start this review? Never before has an EP assaulted me in such a way and satisfied so many dark desires in only five tracks. I usually see them thin-tracked promos and think ugggghhhh but I always give them a quick go. This was not a quick go. […]

Charnel Altar – Abatement of the Sun (Vile, Life-Ruining Blackened Death Doom)
Well here’s an album that will turn you into a godforsaken, lowest form of scum. I mean this is just some of the most disgusting shit I’ve heard in awhile. Total garbage liquid. Total vomit feces. Total bile clot. That’s about what Charnel Altar’s latest rot pile is, something like that. Abatement of the […]
