POX – :BKW: (Necromantic Blackened Punk)
God I love bands of this particular variety. Basically, assume that anything named after a disease or ailment is probably going to be good, and in the case of Belgium’s POX we find this theory sufficiently satisfied. They never specified the pox, but who needs to when there are so many to choose from […]

ÄXE – Autogeddon (Bestial Speed Punk)
Ironic usage of an umlaut equals unironic mastery of a genre. Now, of course, the umlaut phenomenon is primarily within the realm of metal, and a theme so reused one wonders if any letters are left to dot. Has the A been blessed with the sacred bits? Certainly, but here the redundancy is avoided […]

Goetia – Mortuary Cult (Savage Blackened Death Punk)
I was at a loss recently, because the majority of promos were just terrible. This might be one of the worst weeks on record for me, but it’s just the luck of the sucky draw. I was down to a few, but in the end the final review we have today to end off […]

Karloff – Revered by Death (Blackened Ghoul Punk)
Certain genres refuse to extricate themselves from the fetters of decades ago. I guess it’s a one part nostalgia, one part fear of the new. I’ve seen this phenomenon in hardcore, rockabilly, and especially horror punk. The last example is notorious for this, as doowop vampires have been around for awhile, stemming from the […]

Deathrite – Flames Licking Fever (Eerie Death Punk)
Nice. Needed something to mix things up around here! Plus, I received so much garbage these past months it’s been tough whittling it down to anything good, let alone something that rawks as much as Flames Licking Fever, the latest full-length from Germany’s Deathrite (capitalized or no?). There are a number of acts out […]

Unearthly Rites – Ecdysis (Finnish DIY Crust Death)
Well, hmm. This is the second release of this type I’ve reviewed this particular week. One where there isn’t much that needs to be said about it. Everything can be read at face value. In fact, Finland’s Unearthly Rites follow some pretty standard paths in their construction of DIY crust death, yet it’s so […]

Profanation – Skull Crushing Violence (Blatantly Obvious Grind Punk)
There’s nothing much to say about the blatant and the obvious. You merely absorb as it appears. Consisting of members of a number of devastating bands in the French sphere of gross music, Profanation combine these efforts into what could be a one-off or new project, but either way it doesn’t matter. The reason? […]

Kontusion – S/T (Raw and Mutilated Death Punk)
Whelp, I died. Another Sentient Ruin smacker. I pretty much guessed that, though, without even scoping the label. Xeroxed cover from a rotted-on-the-insides dumpster nuclear fire? Yep, musical summary right there folks, another example of my “see that cover, this sounds like that” intro. Even better, though, is how the overlapping of lines makes […]

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 […]

Obduktio – Ihmiskunnan Viholliset (Crude Rude Puke Punk)
I can’t recall a nice do-over of punk with some blackened crust from Finland. Most of what I get from the country with supposedly the toughest language in the world is black metal or, ugh, some of that Finnish hardcore-like-it’s-1985 scene kid blather. Obduktio was a welcome addition to my “you should listen to […]
