Cursed Monk Records \ dark ambient \ dark folk \ drone \ Galway \ Grey Malkin \ haunted folk \ Ireland \ Ruairi O’Baoighill \ Scotland \ Waterford
Haven’t gotten a release like this in awhile. Actually, let’s change that to “a good release.” Folk of the dark variety can be an easy sell, at times, but it’s deceptive. Too folk and it lends itself a childish, “spooky” atmosphere that sounds more like background music during a Ravenloft sesh with only the […]
Artoffact Records \ death industrial \ drone \ Italy \ raw black metal \ Ruco \ sludge metal
Holy shit. Sometimes I wonder why I continue to curate promos, but I must remind myself it’s simple. One, not enough time to do everything, and two, most of what I receive is B average at best. Why bother? But, now and then I get something like OvO here and just have to say […]
dark ambient \ dark electronica \ dark industrial \ dark noise \ dark ritualistic ambient \ drone \ Eeli Helin \ Finland
Another late entry into the review pile be this one, which I only decided to cover because I so rarely get good experimental stuff. Hell, I can’t even remember the last time I received any at all! But, anyway, what makes good experimental good? It’s rather simple, but perhaps we should start with what […]
Anima Recordings \ David Fylstra \ doomgaze \ drone \ Dylan Garrett Smith \ Oregon \ ouroboros \ Portland \ seaside suicide so sad \ shoegaze
Folian speaks volumes about dreaminess. I mean there’s a drowned or languid body on the cover floating in or washed up from the sea with hair twisted about the fingers. That alone makes you stare down at your shoes so far you turn in on yourself like an ouroboros. Talk about deep thoughts. Well, […]
Alessio Antoni \ Daria Endresen \ dark ambient \ drone \ Italy \ NERATERRÆ \ Nihil \ Ventre \ woah veiled thing on beach
I feel bad for how late this review is, but it’s totally not my fault. One, I typically never check for promos on the Facebook page, and two, Facebook tossed this in spam. So old why review? The fact is it’s rare I receive submissions like this that I feel like reviewing, because dark […]
ambient \ black metal \ blackened death metal \ Bloodsoaked Records \ cassette \ Cassette Assault \ Cerecloth \ death industrial \ death metal \ Divergent Series \ doom metal \ drone \ experimental \ Iron Noose \ No Visible Scars \ noise \ One Master \ RID \ russia \ sludge metal \ stoner metal \ Sunmask \ Sweden \ Swedish death metal \ The Death Wheelers \ UIS \ Witchstone
It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these, and that’s primarily because of a special app I’m seriously working on for the site where I can give some press to stuff I don’t review on in this way anymore. Bad art, or just ehhh releases, will all have their due eventually. Sometimes this […]
cold spring \ Dan Conway \ death metal \ doom metal \ drone \ England \ experimental metal \ khost \ noise \ noise metal \ noise rock
When I started to figure out how to better handle this site and submissions, part of that process was creating a feature called “Worship,” which is part interview, but also more. I also consider a particular band’s most recent release, which is going to be something I score at the highest tier of the Deaf […]
black metal \ BLACK YO)))GA \ dark ambient \ doom metal \ drone \ yoga \ you can totally exercise to this
So it has been a bit, eh? Now that the seasons are getting colder, I’m growing more and more Minnesotan in my Seattle landscape in order to best combat the troubles ahead. Yesterday I chose not to wear any normal clothing and wore traditional Minnesotan garb of fur pelts from animals and consumed the beating […]
7 Degrees Records \ Abstracter \ ambient \ An Out Recordings \ black metal \ Church of Fuck \ drone \ experimental \ Fragile Branch \ gawd so many labels \ post-black metal \ Sentient Ruin Laboratories \ Shove Records \ Vendetta Records
Boy, these guys are persistent as all hell. That’s a lot of persistence, if you didn’t know, using the word hell with anything is like ‘a lot’ but it sounds more kvlt. And this persistence clearly came from a need to purge the soul, because when we first met Abstracter almost a year ago, we […]
black metal \ Bleak Recordings \ Cal of Ror Records \ Chaosphere Recordings \ doom \ drone \ GPS Prod. \ holy fakkin label list \ Labyrinth Productions \ Lost Pilgrims Records \ Nooirax Producciones \ Portugal \ Process of Guilt \ Rorcal \ Switzerland \ Wolves and Vibrancy Records
It’s always difficult to decide what to do with splits. Sometimes we have a battle between bands, our own imaginary battle, and the victor gets to claim the title that results in some words posted on our site here and that’s about it. Or, we ahave a new feature called “SPLITting Headache”, but decided it […]
