Negative Prayer – Self // Wound (Repulsive Body Horror Crust Metal)

Negative Prayer – Self // Wound (Repulsive Body Horror Crust Metal)

  Oooo this one has some power behind it. I guess it has to since it fits easily into the crust metal genre but yet… I don’t like dropping tags often, but Portland, Oregon’s Negative Prayer can definitely be rooted in that as well as the tradition of d-beat, yet, hmm, there’s something different here… […]

Seltsame Erden – Gedankentempeln (Hauntingly Mystical Black Metal)

  I decided on three music reviews this week, can you believe it? They must be pretty damn good then! Truth. As I go through more and more promos over the years I feel like my mind demands things to be more clever. And with good reason; there are far too many acts doing things […]

Third Storm – The Locust Mantra (Blackened Melodic Thrash Death Metal Woah)

  Here’s another interesting one from Sweden. I saw a bit of semi-hate concerning The Locust Mantra out there, mainly that it doesn’t “stand out,” but I’ve said it before is that always necessary? Plus, Third Storm are also much older than you’d expect so perhaps think a bit, listen harder, and see what comes […]

Cystic – Palace of Shadows (Existential Death Metal)

  I think I encountered this, at least once before, where an album sounds like garbagio on headphones. Perhaps it’s time to realize my Ghostbusters headphones aren’t exactly, well, stereo quality… Anyway, these guys blast on a system, even PC speakers, so we’ll forget about that. Now that we got the dripping death metal out […]

Cadaver Shrine – Benighted Desecration (Blackened Death Doom of the Funereal Quality)

  I sometimes wonder if Maurice de Jong, known primarily for his project Gnaw Their Tongues, is like superhuman or something. The number of notable bands he’s constructed, all of a dark and experimental style, would practically be a review in itself. Simply writing them all down would achieve the word count I prefer, but […]

Gold Spire – S/T (Let’s Toss in Some Sax Swedish Death Metal)

Gold Spire – S/T (Let’s Toss in Some Sax Swedish Death Metal)

  I was pretty sure I was probably going to like this, so imagine my surprise when I really didn’t. Bummer. Gold Spire consists of members of some pretty important Swedeath bands, most importantly Usurpress. Swedish death metal has, simply put, been known for bending the rules, or outright discarding them. This one I saw […]

Decrepisy – Emetic Communion (Filthy Neologism Metal)

  Now here’s something that sounds like dying in a pile of rotting wastes the regurgitated bile disgorged from a pestilent pseudo-phallus or what not. You’ve probably heard it all in reference to metal like this; disgusting riff offal, subslime stank, putrid remorse wastes, vomitous carnage machine, etc. How many clever words can I use […]
