Defacement – Duality (Blackened Experimental Blackened Black Metal)

  You just know with some things. You just know with some people. You just know with some books. You just know with some bands. This is a “I just know” example, Duality, the latest from Netherlands’ Defacement. Dutch metal can be goddamn weird at times, to the level that it becomes its own genre. […]

Hellbutcher – S/T (Covered in Spikes Blackened Speed Thrash)

Hellbutcher – S/T (Covered in Spikes Blackened Speed Thrash)

  Yes, hmm, yes. I must admit I was hesitant about this when I first heard of it. Having listened to Nifelheim extensively, and still on occasion, for many years, I, like many, lamented their disbandment in 2022. Though, let’s be real, it was technically years before that as releases slowed and we’d get a […]

Black Hate – V​í​a Purgativa​:​Qui Spiritu Diaboli Aguntur Hi Filii Satanae Sunt (Spiteful Blackened Death Metal)

  Uh oh, they’re back! Black Hate was one of the bands that really set off Deaf Sparrow after the site redesign in 2013 with their incredible, and imo greatly underappreciated Los Tres Mundos. From that point they seemed to constantly break their own boundaries, or rather destroy their own edifices to build something upon […]

Unaussprechlichen Kulten – Häxan Sabaoth (Nebulous Occult Death Metal)

  There were a few albums I was perusing for the second review of the week of our musick feature, and Unaussprechlichen Kulten was simply a requirement, likely to be a landmark title for 2024. If you’re not familiar with them, you’ve got a nuanced Cthulhu reference from Howard reused in German by Lovecraft? Even […]

Demoncy – Diabolica Blasphemiae (Traitorous Bones Blackened Death Metal)

  Though part of the original guarde of black metal in the United States, I’ve never really considered Demoncy to be black metal, though I have always considered them to be awesome. Their earlier work certainly hearkens back to the early 1990s wave from Norway, but as time went on they developed their own, Californian, […]

Abhorrency – Climax of Disgusting Impurities (Bestial Violation Blackened Death Metal)

  Well get ready to consume this one at face fooking value. A multitude of upside-down crosses hide within a festering logo above an image that summarizes the album title below. What’s this one like? Well it’s a Climax of Disgusting Impurities! What else? Honestly though, the face on that child-like goat being is freaking […]

Demonized – Abyss Vanguard (Savage Blackened Death Metal)

  Now here’s the definition of comeback. I mean wow, exactly two decades have passed since Demonized released anything. After a self-titled that went under everyone’s radar they’re back with an EP. Well, we’ll take it! I’m on a simplicity for simplicity’s sake kick this week, so don’t expect any fluff. Nothing else to say […]

Tomb – The Dark Subconscious (Slovenly Blackened Death Metal)

Tomb – The Dark Subconscious (Slovenly Blackened Death Metal)

  I debated reviewing this one because it’s such a damn sloppy mess. Malaysia’s Tomb have got a great sound, don’t get me wrong. Earlier work, such as Gates of Gehenna, may be thin on cutting-edge themes, but heavy on the evil. We got wolves howling, solos screeching like bleeding blisters on the fingertips, drums […]

Infernal Curse – Revelations Beyond Insanity (Moldy Bestial Blackened Death Metal)

Infernal Curse – Revelations Beyond Insanity (Moldy Bestial Blackened Death Metal)

  Now here’s a gross band. You’re going to feel unclean after this one, sorry. Infernal Curse is one of the most respected bands out of the Argentinian underground and this, their only third full-length in 15 years, has been highly anticipated since they first hinted at it three years ago. Most of their output […]

Thanatomass – Hades (Profane Blackened Death Metal)

  Man, don’t think I’ve heard anything this good out of Russia in awhile. Can I say that? Let me check. Yep, been two whole years, actually slightly over. This is so good goddamn it if I didn’t think it came out of Chile. But, nope, definitely Russia. Considering the fact that they apparently have […]
