Panzerchrist – Maleficium Part 2 (Legitimately Good Witch Metal)

Panzerchrist – Maleficium Part 2 (Legitimately Good Witch Metal)

  I was familiar with Panzerchrist before this one, but I passed. One of the reasons I passed is the themes. Witches, witch hunters, maleficia, Christ, hell, even panzers? Damn, this shit’s batting zero and this isn’t even baseball. Are they aware of that? So when I saw Part 2 of their Maleficium series appear […]

Naked Whipper (Blackened Anti-Christian Perversion Metal)

  Uh oh, the perverse beasts are back. I can’t remember the last time I heard of Germany’s Naked Whipper, but here we are again. They were around before this site was even birthed, bringing their lusty-demon type of perverted blasphemy years before I even knew their name and years before anyone was riding that […]

Adorior – Bleed on My Teeth (Female-Fronted Bloody and Blackened Death Metal)

  Goddamn. You often hear the buzzwords “female-fronted metal,” but what does that actually mean? So there’s a woman in there somewhere, got it. Why point it out? Well, often, it’s simply because women in metal are not as visible as men. Okay, got it. But here’s the problem I often find with this. Apologies […]

Pneuma Hagion – From Beyond (Texas Twang Blackened Death Metal)

  Putting one’s name in another language, especially one of the original Holy Languages, is scary. I’m shaking already from Pneuma Hagion, whose usage of “holy spirit” as their name sounds actually threatening when placed into the Greek. And, daimn, you tossed in some fecking William Blake art on top of that? This is truly […]

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)

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)

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 […]
