Dryad – The Abyssal Plain (Occult Crossover Crust)

  I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this one. The cover has this primitive, war or occult death metal style, but wait is that supposed to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster or something? Like WTF? Where is this leading me?! Still anyone cool enough to name their band Dryad must have something […]

Label EXPOSED – Caligari Records

Well, it’s been awhile since we did one of these, in fact back before the new site became active, so it has to have been about three or four years now.  And what a fitting reunion!  We have here, that’s right, a label exposure for Caligari Records, owned and run by the former owner/editor of […]

Cassette Assault – Absolute Filth

Here we are again, ye keepers of the guns and ammo, ye corrupt blasphemers of the digital era.  Load up, get your bandoliers, get your helicopters, get your grenades, and prepare to blow the speakers of that nice old Sony two-deck you got from Goodwill as you continue to deny the world you believe in […]

Sloth Herder / Horde of the Eclipse – Split CD

Let’s give ourselves a splitting headache.  Are you ready to understand what it’s like to have split-personality disorder?  Can we think of any other clever usages of the word ‘split’ that doesn’t involve a direct understanding of the term in relationship to music?  No, it stops right here, right now.  Now we get to being serious.

Compilation Dissertation – Ball de Bastons / Makil Dantza

Been awhile since we did one of these.  So for those of you who missed out on our last one, let’s explain before we begin, because this is a lot of reading, and it should be because it’s a lot of work, thus the title of this feature. Compilation Dissertation is where we give a […]

Human Services – Animal Fires

We enjoy responding to users on Facebook or the site proper.  It encourages us to write faster and harder, to get them to climax in the sense of saying something stupid so we can criticize their very existence.  So, it’s not unusual to get the occasional weirdos now and then, people that reveal the true […]

Boddicker – Crime Upheaval

It’s too bad this cassette is sold out and anyone who now wants to listen to it has to resort to, pfff, digital.  Boddicker, get with the times.  Listen, anything like has to be listened to on at least vinyl or cassette.  It can’t be any other way, especially since they use Detroit as an […]

Cassette Assault! Noise, Noisy, Noisier!

Uh oh, folks, it’s time for another…cassette assault!!!!  Or perhaps those exclamatives should be written as !!!!11!11!!!!  Either way, we’re bringing it in that beautiful analog format that warps in the sun and makes stuff like this sound even better.  Last time we had a selection of four beautiful pieces of plastic from one label, […]

Sloth Herder: Abandon Pop Sensibility

Funny story about Frederick, MD.  The reviewer who is penning this review here happens to be doing research for a novel partially based on a true story, part of which involves a man shooting his wife through the heart, who was originally from Frederick, like really, that part’s completely true.  After he killed her, and […]
