The Ugly – Decreation
Interesting that this album would be titled as such, considering it’s rather a form of creation than destruction. But before we get to that, let’s consider Swedish black metal. Sweden has a rather interesting history in the genre, being that it, though rooted in Scandinavian tradition, is somewhat separate in how it developed. You have […]

Sovereign – Nailing Shut the Sacroscant Orifice
Wordiness is often a marker for headiness, and seriously any metal band that pulls out sacrosanct in their album title probably has something to say. But US black metal, sadly, has often not had much to say. Part of the reason for that is it gets covered over by all the clickbait BM worthlessness of […]

Downfall of Nur – Umbras e Forestas
Interesting that this is the first review we tackle after the birth of my (editor) daughter this past week. After weening her on dark synthwave with GosT and then giving her some classical, it was time for the full indoctrination with this sick promo sent to us from Russia. Black metal for child rearing? Yes, […]

SPLITting Headache – Buncha Metal
Well, we finally made some sense out of what we want to do with this new special feature of ours, titled, as you can see, SPLITting Headache. The problem we’ve always had with splits is that you have at least two bands, but sometimes more than that, and how do you go about reviewing that? […]

Abstracter – Wound Empire
Boy, these guys are persistent as all hell. That’s a lot of persistence, if you didn’t know, using the word hell with anything is like ‘a lot’ but it sounds more kvlt. And this persistence clearly came from a need to purge the soul, because when we first met Abstracter almost a year ago, we […]

Rorcal / Process of Guilt – Split
It’s always difficult to decide what to do with splits. Sometimes we have a battle between bands, our own imaginary battle, and the victor gets to claim the title that results in some words posted on our site here and that’s about it. Or, we ahave a new feature called “SPLITting Headache”, but decided it […]

Crowhurst – S/T
Sometimes you look at something and you know it can’t be anything but mind-bending. You know after listening you’re not going to be the same person, you’re going to be something else and probably won’t remember anything that came prior. Who am I? How did I get here? You move your eyes around the immediate […]

Necro Deathmort – EP2
We’re bandnamecist around here, completely coolnamesupremacist. Cool name power. Please understand, we were raised this way, or rather, we raised ourselves in such a way that we expect the best, not the better-than-most, the best. And that’s what our readers expect. Necro Deathmort is a name we’ve actually heard before, but honestly we ignored it […]

Forgotten Tomb – Hurt Yourself And The Ones You Love
If there’s one hard sell in black metal, it’s the kind further delineated through words like ‘suicidal’, ‘hateful’ (and or ‘misanthropic’), or perhaps ‘depressing’. DSBM is usually an instant soul killer for most, no matter the level of anti-depressants in your blood. You could be filled with months of mood-numbing psychotropics and it wouldn’t make […]

Unsacred – False Light
Ahhh, great start to the week right here. Or should that be written as raight heaaaaah booooiii? We like black metal, love it in fact. The more devastating, the better, the less cliche the better, the more post upon post with dashes (like this: post-) the better. Corpse paint be damned, sick of it, let the […]
