Cassette Assault! Noise, Noisy, Noisier!
Uh oh, folks, it’s time for another…cassette assault!!!! Or perhaps those exclamatives should be written as !!!!11!11!!!! Either way, we’re bringing it in that beautiful analog format that warps in the sun and makes stuff like this sound even better. Last time we had a selection of four beautiful pieces of plastic from one label, […]

Wrought Iron: Rejoice and Transcend
Stellar, spot on. There, review finished. We’ve been thinking about trying one-sentence reviews for some time, just haven’t decided the best approach for it yet, so bare with us as we continue to talk even though we’ve already told you what we think of this one. Grimoire Records is an on-the-rise label from out of […]

Hoth: Oathbreaker
Always give credit to self-released bands who put this much effort into it. Hoth took the time to write a thorough promo sheet, including a frakkin sticker to sweeten the pot. We’ve encountered them before, though Cole didn’t like them very much, primarily because they’re self-proclaimed Star Wars fanatics and he didn’t like their, let’s […]

Abstracter: Tomb of Feathers
This is a really cool album title, but unfortunately Tomb of Feathers is only an almost cool album. That sounds a lot more harsh than it actually was to us, so please, continue to read. Don’t stop now, it is your destiny. Abstracter is a progressive black metal band from out of California. With all of […]

Mors Sonat: Comforts in Atrocity
Crucial Blast rarely, and we mean rarely, releases anything that isn’t good. Plus, he’s like a one-man machine that combines several genres into his label, not to mention having one of the best mail order catalogs in the world with stuff from pretty much everywhere. One of his fortes is noise, and though we had […]

Wreck of the Hesperus: Light Rotting Out
Anyone who doesn’t enjoy this album and pretends to understand depressing funeral doom is full of crap. So full of crap. We’re talking like your DNA is literally crap if you say such a thing. Your parents were no better than the C.H.U.D. that spews the bile-ridden sewage that led to there actually being a […]

Regarde les Hommes Tomber: S/T
Here we go again, time to get redundant up in this. French hardcore, especially of the post variety, dominates. It’s one of the most atmospheric, creative, and musically confrontational hotbeds in the modern scene. We were first enlightened on this subject several years ago, and since then have been continually enlightened, endlessly enlightened. We’re so […]

Australasia: Vertebra
As we found before with Australasia, the artwork doesn’t tell you so much about what to expect. It’s like a blank cover to a two-thousand-page epic masterpiece of literature. When we first came across this guy in his release Sin4tr4, there was a nice horsie on the cover, so we sadly ignored listening to it for […]

Trist/Lonesummer: Split
The curse…of the split. Splits can have this problem, if one band does reasonably well but the other is less so it can be a disaster. And no one wants to be that band, the placeholder, there primarily so the definition of ‘split’ isn’t violated. Is this opener obvious enough? Do you get it? Not yet, […]

Black Hate: Los Tres Mundos
There are certain countries associated frequently with black metal, so frequently we don’t even need to mention them, or it, because there’s really only a single one that immediately comes to mind. Mexico? Probably one of the last places you’d expect to find a quality black metal band. Not to say there aren’t any, but […]
