Kult Ofenzivy – Nauky různic

Kult Ofenzivy – Nauky různic

This one needed to sit in the head awhile, but not for the usual sitting reasons.  It’s not a ‘grower’, as some say, it wasn’t something of the “different than their last one” variety, either.  This is one that to any reviewer with an affection for black metal will most likely seem to be something […]

Swallowed – Lunaterial

Today, you know what?  You know what guys and girls?  It’s time for complete destruction of everything.  Let’s tear it all down, let’s rip out this thing called a soul that we don’t believe in anyway and burn it into metaphysical ashes.  Let’s take this thing called order and obliterate it and whatever remains we’ll […]

Nightbringer – Ego Dominus Tuus

Now here’s a type of black metal that needs more representation, and one that raises questions.  Something that goes beyond mere sound quality, elevating itself with the sheer impressiveness of its breadth of concept.  Nightbringer is probably one of the more underrated US black metal acts of the past twenty years, carving a niche into […]

ÆVANGELIST – Writhes in the Murk

Sometimes before we write these things we like to check out the plebosphere to see what kinds of opinions are being tossed about, just for a frame of reference.  Don’t dare accuse us of plagiarism, because it doesn’t happen around here, we’re original, 100%.  The main reason for doing such research is to get an […]

Wormwood – S/T

Christmas has decayed away, it has fallen into the snow, crushed underfoot, ground into muddied mush speckled with blood.  Ahead the New Year approaches, and with it thousands upon millions of lies erupt from the maws of the damned, those sniveling wooden robots of society that drag their feet, make their purchases, make their promises, […]

Sloth Herder / Horde of the Eclipse – Split CD

Let’s give ourselves a splitting headache.  Are you ready to understand what it’s like to have split-personality disorder?  Can we think of any other clever usages of the word ‘split’ that doesn’t involve a direct understanding of the term in relationship to music?  No, it stops right here, right now.  Now we get to being serious.

Zom – Flesh Assimilation

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!  Ever just want to do that?  Ever just want to scream the scream of sacrilegious pleasure when you come across something so absolutely filthy, so disgustingly, awfully corrupt it defines your entire existence as a thing of the soil?  You worm, do you not know of Zom?  Zom come from Ireland and their sound […]

Cassette Assault – Metal and Noise

Get your guns, get your gurls, or mens, and prepare, for a….cassette assault!  If you’re new around here, this is when we check out a series of four different cassettes in the same review.  Sometimes from the same label, maybe the same band, but this time we’re doing a set of tapes from four different […]

Varathron – Untrodden Corridors of Hades

Well, this was a ruined special review.  Originally, we intended on dealing out this on Saturday and calling it Satan Saturday, thereby giving us an excuse to post a Satanic something rather on Saturday thereafter and start a new trend no one else would pay attention to.  So that fell through, and then we figured, […]

Colosus – Blestem

True black metal.  How many times have you heard that one?  True black metal from Norway.  True black metal from France.  True black metal from Chicago.  True black metal from Harrisonburg, PA.  But when has it really been ‘true’ and what does it even mean?  Let’s consider the options.  Must it sound classic, bold, inventive?
