Cement Tea – Funny Music For The Prettiest Faces Out There (Hardcore Anime Industrial)

  I was digging back through some old industrial (yeah, EDM, EBM, whatever you want to call it) CDs that were the jam back in the 1990s, tossed them in the car to recall memories I shouldn’t remember, and I realized, hey, I haven’t gotten any industrial promos in months! So I dug around. Most […]

Trance of the Undead – Chalice of Disease (Dismal Dungeon Black Metal)

  Check that crud art; black Sharpie covering a white piece of paper. Limited skill, limited shape, it’s like looking into a dark cave and allowing your eyes to adjust, but still too dark to really make out the image. And musically, ahhhh, Brazil’s Trance of the Undead is a comparable force of similar aesthetic. […]

Genocídio – The Grave (The Issue With Death Metal Reissues)

  I’m always extremely hesitant to review releases of this nature. Ugh, reissues and compilations, hate em. If something was already released, just leave it at that goddamn it. If it’s obscure, maybe there’s a reason for it? If it sold out, maybe there’s a reason for it? Just let resellers have their fill and […]

Speedkiller – Midnight Vampire (Castlevania Blackened Death Metal)

  Yeaaaahhhh get it. You ready for some Vampire: The Masquerade mattafakkas? You’ve got to be careful of vampire stuff, and this is coming from someone who teaches a course on vampires, so like, I know. Vampire aesthetic is of polar opposites: totally cool or totally drool. The cool variety often carries that 18th century […]

The Yellow Night (Brazilian Grind Art Horror)

  Stop me if you’ve heard this: a group of teenagers travels to an isolated island for a debauched graduation party weekend. Disregarding oblique warnings from vaguely menacing locals, they arrive at one of the teens’ family estate. When someone goes missing, it becomes evident that something terrifying lurks in the shadows enshrouding the island. […]

Jupiterian – Protosapien (Nobody Will Ever Love You Funeral Sludge)

  Some label heads just get it, you know? Like I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by a promo from Transcending Obscurity, even though I haven’t reviewed everything he’s sent me. Either way, doesn’t matter, because here and now we’re talking Jupiterian’s latest musical expression of skin sloughing off a depressed corpse, Protosapien. After […]

Tyranno – March of Death (Death Thrash, Yet…)

Tyranno – March of Death (Death Thrash, Yet…)

  Simplicity crowned. Old school enthroned, yet… Brazil’s Tyranno are a step back, or perhaps better to say a step rooted back, yet at the same time a step forwards. See there’s a lot of yet…in March of Death. I like the unexpected, though, and though at first I thought it may have been accidental, […]

The Evil – S/T (Non-Evil, Mask-Wearing Doom Metal)

The Evil – S/T (Non-Evil, Mask-Wearing Doom Metal)

  I saw the masks and I wanted to enjoy this thoroughly. The cover, by Fernando Drowned of The Most Destructive Art, had me mask-loving, But, as it turns out I only enjoyed the music partially. There’s something less threatening about doomers wearing masks on stage than you find with blackened death metal or black […]

Holocausto – War Metal Massacre

Where can I even begin with this album, which I’ve listened to at least three times a week for the past four months? I started where I usually do, by looking around at what others have to say, after I’ve already formed my own opinion. I often find myself alone, or partially, constantly saddened by […]

SPLITting Headache – Some Stuff

You know for all the damn splits that were released in the past year, I sure got only a few of them in the promo emails and regular mail. Why? Why can I not enjoy more splitting of the production costs and music? Why can I not compare one band to another on the same […]
