Boston \ Caligari Records \ Calvin Cushman \ Massachusetts \ oozing death metal \ United States
Now it’s time for some ooze. Some rotting carcass ooze. That stuff that leaks out of coffins after so many years and is so completely corrosive it bores a hole in the vault in which the coffin lies to finally poison everything around it. Animals in the soil, insects, your water. Just atrocious. Now […]
Caligari Records \ Fort Wayne \ Indiana \ Rohhalusmu \ Roy Oktavionata \ spectral death metal \ United States
Here’s a band that needs to get its shit together and make a goddamn full-length. Around for almost a decade, and with a sound that will rot the peace out of your existence, Desekryptor have only dropped demos, a comp (which is really just a collection of demos, let’s be real), and one split, […]
Caligari Records \ combat grind \ Ensimmäinen Kultti Illustrations \ Etelä-Savo \ Finland \ Me Saco un Ojo Records \ Mikkeli \ Pirkanmaa \ Pulverised Records \ Roope Sillanpää \ Tampere
Lol I saw this called grindcore somewhere? Please, listen, restrict the usage of that tag to bands that are bad please. I mean come on this is clearly combat grind. I feel bad for those out there dealing such nonsense, but even worse for myself because I have to waste time pulling out a […]
Caligari Records \ Chip Lionel \ Louisiana \ Nerve Altar \ New Orleans \ swampy death metal \ United States
Here’s another one of these releases, but, hey, I’ll take it. I was going to call it murky death metal, which I did the other day for another release, and which this certainly is, I mean look at the EP’s title! But, since these scumbags are from New Orleans I figured swampy would be […]
blackened speed punk \ Caligari Records \ Canada \ Ibay Arifin \ Montreal \ Quebec \ Selfmadegod Records
Ahhh rejoice, this is an easy one. This is one of those albums that’s incredibly simple to review but most critics wasted, or will waste, their time on saying it, relying on inexcusable and nonsensical references to Shakespeare while experimenting in diluted Gonzo journalism, in the end obscuring WTF they’re trying to say and […]
California \ Caligari Records \ experimental death metal \ San Francisco \ Stefan Thanneur \ The Flenser
Oooohhh, tasty, tasty, tasty be this. First thing, released partially by The Flenser. Second thing, wow. To be wowed anymore I need to be challenged and surprised. Well, hard to challenge me so just stick with surprise. Make it a jump scare of riffs. I want riffs to bend mental states, I want the […]
Caligari Records \ death doom \ Fred Grabosky \ Massachusetts
Well here’s a repulsive crusher I can utilize to summon various references to awful things of the human body. I figured with the dejected lump of grief flesh on the cover it would be so, but sometimes you don’t know. Cover art is only the beginning of the journey, never the end. Featuring two […]
blackened doom metal \ Caligari Records \ Czech Republic \ Czechia \ death doom
Lol these filthy shits. I can’t remember the last time I reviewed a Czech band but I’m not going to bother to look because these guys are all that matter at the moment. I often wish blackened metal, of any attached genre, would just slow the hell down now and then. Really does it […]
Caleb Simard \ Caligari Records \ Canada \ death doom \ Joel Rask
I love primitive art if done right, and yes this would be an example. There’s a certain crudeness to this type of style that in the hands of a master speaks like a dejected sociopath scribbling esoteric nonsense during study hall. Perihelion Gnosis, in only a mere two tracks, makes it clear he’s easily […]
Caligari Records \ Keith Caves \ Pennsylvania \ Pittsburgh \ rotting death metal \ Steel & Bone Productions \ war metal
Let’s finish off my choice cuts in music this week with some rotting death metal. Angry, masculine vocals, visions of torment, riffs that sound like new songs the second way through (even though there are only four tracks), etc. There’s no better way to unwind, now and then. Like a mutually-agreed-upon backyard boxing match, […]
