Bedford \ death doom \ England \ Godz Ov War Productions \ Mark Riddick \ Memento Mori \ Podkarpackie \ Poland \ Sanok \ Staszów \ United Kingdom \ Watford
Here’s a band that remains the same yet sounds…different? Explain this to me, boys. Having reviewed Eternal Rot’s last one, Putridarium, and seeing the same style of art by the same artist (Mark Riddick), I expected, naturally, more of the same. Zombified, grooving death and doom, that’s what I mean. Dripping. Slipping. Sticking? And […]
blackened crust \ blackened hardcore \ Deborah Sheedy \ England \ London \ post-black metal \ post-blackened crust \ Prosthetic Records \ Trepanation Recordings \ United Kingdom
Am I in the mood for post-black metal with a little of that blackened hardcore and a touch of the crust? Sure, why not? I’m in a good mood. Plus, don’t really seem to be easily accessible reviews out there, so let’s start the process for the good boys in Calligram, who appear to […]
England \ epic power metal \ fantasy power metal \ Hampshier \ power metal \ Prosthetic Records \ Southampton \ Stan-W Decker \ Stanislas W. Decker \ United Kingdom
It seems I only review power metal when the band has like a quadshmillion fans. I try not to, and I’m probably wrong, but maybe it’s true. Well, whatever, though I prefer bands with lower exposure there’s a reason a fan count gets that high, and it’s not vapidity. Sometimes fans are just correct. […]
England \ gore literature \ Great Britain \ Harrison Phillips \ horror literature \ splatter horror \ splatter literature
When I think of “freakshow,” American Horror Story comes to mind immediately. Night of the Freaks has that undertone; an ominous, dark feeling, that continues through the book, as I learned of the stuff that happens within “William Wilson’s Wonderful World Of The Weirdos.” This read gets straight into the action, leaving the reader […]
Dark Descent Records \ England \ Invictus Productions \ London \ occult death metal \ Santiago Caruso \ United Kingdom
I see one long track as an album or EP and I’m like yeah this shit’s going to have something to say. And yes, Qrixkuor is such a band and this is such an album, or rather EP. More of an experience perhaps, or just a long ass song even, Zoetrope is a spinning […]
blackened death metal \ Daniel Valeriani \ Dark Descent Records \ England \ London \ United Kingdom
Phew now here is something solid. I mean, I expect that out of the recent vanguard of English metal freaks, but still here’s another to add to the slowly-growing horde. Lvcifyre have been melting death metal into their own weapon for over a decade now, but their releases have been more sporadic and careful […]
chaotic death metal \ England \ Karmazid \ Rat King Records \ United Kingdom
Man sometimes I feel like this face here. All melty and swirly and shit. I should be more specific in saying I want to feel like this face here. I’m not there yet, I need something to bring the transformation to fruition, and Carcinoma should be able to deliver if only for the fact […]
England \ industrial black metal \ Lore Breaker Records \ United Kingdom
I had no idea what I was in for with this. It could have went so many ways and even the way it goes has me confused, lol. Metallum has Zebadiah Crowe pathetically listed as “black metal” and that sounds to me that whoever made the entry just gave up and said “well this […]
Clipside Films \ Conspire Pictures \ England \ Film London \ Foreign Material \ goddamn I hate myself \ short film \ Toby Fell-Holden \ Western Edge Pictures
Phew, this one is a killer. Man… Balcony is one of those films that doesn’t tell you much about its real meaning until the ending. You think you got it all worked out. You’re sure of it. This is a touching glimmer of hope in all the human garbage, you think, and then it […]
black metal \ death metal \ England \ Great Britain \ Luke Oram \ not really anything \ not really sludge metal \ sludge metal \ Slugdge \ United Kingdom \ Willowtip Records
I’ve got a great idea for a horror film title, get this: When Things Get Pretentious. It’s only going to scare true underground junkies (autocrats if you forgot the term), but it will be absolutely terrifying. You are about to witness, a film, about how the best and most cutting-edge of sounds can become, horribly pompous. That can […]
