Wyrdstæf – Primordial Bloodlines (Primitive Nature Experimental Blackened Ambient Metal
Just when I think I can’t be surprised anymore along comes a group of freaks with a tested vision like Wyrdstæf, who completely defy so many different genres it’s fruitless to attempt to ground their music in anything. Dubbing themselves extreme metal/dark ambient (close enough), the band has done nothing other than an EP […]

Viande – Monument Aux Morts (Debonair Blackened Death Metal)
For a band who’s name just means “meat” you might not expect much. I know it’s in French, but come on now. It does sound cool with the accent, however, I’ll admit, but if you’re a first-timer for the power that is Viande, you might be wondering if it’s worth it when they’re named […]

Throat – Beyond the Devil’s Shroud (Possessed Occult Blackened Death Metal)
Yay, I remember these guys! And apparently part of the band is in Finland now or something, but who cares? If you’re into nihilistic, occult soul sacrifice, that’s the only thing that really matters. Last time I encountered Throat was over two years ago, and it’s great to see that they’re still depraved as […]

Veilburner – Longing for Triumph, Reeking of Tragedy (Gnostic Nihilistic Experimental Black Metal)
You think that everything’s been done until you come across an act like Pennsylvania’s Veilburner and realize the space left to create new forms in any genre is actually infinite. People forget, though set patterns exist and keep us safe at night so we can latch on to our dwindling mortality, we need variation […]

Häxenzijrkell – Portal (Atmospheric Dungeon Metal)
It’s been four years since me and my good friends (in spirit) in Häxenzijrkell traded words. Last time around I tossed out a pleasant 4.5/5 for Die Nachseite, referring to it as “Halloween black metal.” This does not apply this time around and I need to be more serious. Showing a surprising ability to […]

Defacement – Duality (Blackened Experimental Blackened Black Metal)
You just know with some things. You just know with some people. You just know with some books. You just know with some bands. This is a “I just know” example, Duality, the latest from Netherlands’ Defacement. Dutch metal can be goddamn weird at times, to the level that it becomes its own genre. […]

Miserable Abyss – Subaquatic Corporeal Rot (Blackened Experimental Dungeon Synth)
It takes a lot to scare me. In fact, at times, I’m pretty sure I can’t be scared anymore. Then I came across this extremely obscure release by Lisbon’s Miserable Abyss and it scared the shit out of me. I’m actually scared of this. What subhuman soil creature made this? What kind of depraved […]

Rvbber VVitch – Mastvrbations Malveillantes MMXVII (Violations of the Pee-Pee Region Industrial Black Metal)
Sometimes you can just tell by a band’s name and the title of an album that you’re in for something not just different, but foul to the extreme. So foul you’re pretty sure fingers have violated your most sensitive areas. This is not so easy to do when going for the u-as-v and w-as-two-vs […]

Gnaw Their Tongues & Crowhurst – Burning Ad Infinitum (Title Ad Infinitum)
When I first heard Gnaw Their Tongues I had no idea what to appreciate or what the fuck I was listening to. My feeble mind wasn’t ready to abandon the glittery world of shred guitar solos, crushing breakdowns, and pig squeals. But Gnaw Their Tongues always stuck with me and I know it was […]
