Funelore – The Dissolution of Consciousness (Abandoned Cemetery Funeral Doom)
I chose this one this week not because it was all I had left that was good (actually it was), but technically because it deserved it, and that’s rare with bands of this type. I’ve always been a fan of the funeral subgenre within the greater expanse of doom, primarily because it’s enjoyable to […]

Mors Verum – Canvas (Atmospheric Progressive Death Metal)
I’ve said it a number of times but now, but it deserves repeating that Transcending Obscurity Records pumps out some of the most progressive metal I’ve come across. Normally when one of his promos appears I expect experimentation to the highest degree, and I get it. That tradition of expectations delivered continues with Canvas […]

Morte France – Hesperia (Historical Poetical Melodic Black Metal)
Tis the season for black metal of all forms (it’s cold out there and always in our hearts), but only a few can make it to the Deaf Sparrow ranks of “reviewed.” Remember, I don’t bother unless I’d give it at least a 4/5, plus the art has to catch the attention. So obviously […]

Prophetic Suffering – Rivalry of Thyself (Ultra-Gruesome Bestial Death Metal)
I feel like I needed this right now. I needed a warlike, unrelenting, gruesome, beat down. Leave to Sentient Ruin Laboratories, yet again, to provide the answer to my problem. Canada’s Prophetic Suffering state that their debut full-length, Rivalry of Thyself, is essentially a summoning of “pure hell,” and that’s purely sufficient to prepare […]

Grave Infestation – Carnage Gathers (Lurking Death Metal)
Hmm best death metal band from Canada currently? Probably, yeah. I’ve been on a real fix for this specific type, too: the eerie, lurking kind. It doesn’t pummel, it slowly degrades. It comes from all the dark spaces you dread like a sticky mold, touching all over your skin until it rots away. There’s […]

Pøltergeist – Nachtmusik (Coldly Nouveau Gothwave)
Took me awhile to want to review this one, and apologies to the band because they’re great lol. One of my problems, as of late, has been looking for too much newness in what I get. I still stand by good art making an album worth a listen, that will never change, but does […]

Gorgerin – S/T (Back Alley Autopsy Goregrind)
Figured since I got another good one to review this week, instead of trimming down the chaff to get to the usual two, I’d do three, and Canada’s Gorgerin were just the right amount of disgust to drive away anyone who recently came to the site. We keep it real underground here, to the […]

Ulvik – Last Rites | Dire Omens (Mountainous 19th Century Blackened Folk Doom)
This one came in late, but there’s time, and I had to make time just glancing the cover. There’s a sense of history here, and sense of noticing details and remembering things forgotten. What appears a simple image of a rotting dog face, or something like that, is enclosed in a border only the […]
blackened math metal \ Canada \ Erskine Designs \ Everlasting Spew Records \ experimental metal \ Mark Erskine \ math metal \ Ontario
Fractal Generator – Convergence (Experimental Blackened Math Metal)
Ah, this reminds me of how much I loved…calculus. You heard me right. I loved that complex combination of symbols that looked like fucking magic wards to the uninitiated. The fools! If only they understood the true depth of calc! So with a band referencing math that even PhDs have trouble explaining, and titling […]

Serpent Corpse – Blood Sabbath (Punkened Death Metal)
A new band with their first full-length? A disaster for some, a past they can never escape for others. “Yeah, but that first album was so good…” For Serpent Corpse, however, this would rather seem to be their advantage since they fit right in there with practically the entire death metal fray of the […]
