Aluk Todolo – Voix

Aluk Todolo – Voix

It’s impossible to find a proper way of starting this, but others have tried, with pathetic results. Calling Aluk Todolo, direct quote, “an autistic version of Wolves in the Throne Room” is offensive.  Not to the autistic, or to Wolves in the Throne Room, but to music criticism.  That was the best you could do? […]

Regarde les Hommes Tomber – Exile

Some people consider us elusive, others bizarre and unnecessary.  Whatever we may be, we always make sure to regard the worst with the most foully derisive of language, and the best with the most confusing of personal journeys through minds that, strangely, have never touched a single narcotic.  Writers who amaze with their unusual prose […]

Déluge – Æther

This was something long awaited, because we, as well as only a few others, realize that France is where it’s happening for two genres: post-black metal and post-hardcore.  There are no equals to the power of France, and there will never be, at least not at the moment.  We’ve had our tastes of the greats […]

VI – De Praestigiis Angelorum

Well we had fun this week posting a bunch of stupid crap on Facebook to see how social media works.  Our conclusion?  It’s fueled by utter stupidity.  As the activity climbed, we realized the most boring of us are more interested in crap memes and stupid, catchy phrases, which honestly we kind of took and […]

Nyseius – De Divinatione Daemonum

You know what good black metal has and often lacks?  Atmosphere.  Every year this guy right here (editor) pulls out Transilvanian [sic] Hunger not for the vocals, not for the incessant drumming, but for those guitars.  They flow like brittle snow around cold rocks in a chasm, and it just makes this time of year […]

Autokrator – S/T

There are certain people out there giving us a wealth of idiocy to criticize, and it’s great because we can still seem creative.  Let it be known that anyone who references Star Wars in a review of any metal band, unless it’s a metal band with a focus on Star Wars, is a complete toolbox, […]

Plebeian Grandstand – Lowgazers

I’ve been out of the reviewing game for a long time and it is because of this album. My first few listens deemed this album as just a mess. I couldn’t understand why anyone would enjoy it. It felt like a chaotic Japanese public orgy where everything was blurred out or covered in KY (minus the […]

Chaos Echoes – Transient

Now it’s time to take things to the level where few can reach.  The hands of most are weak, their joints feeble, they lack the inner strength to pull themselves up from the middle of the giant web of metal into realms of pure chaos.  Upon these upper, silken strands things are much different, all […]

Caldera – Centralia EP

Out of any musical genres out there, doom metal bands always seem to get it right when it comes to the naming process.  It’s not like that absolute glut of stupidity during the nineties where everything was tagged as “alternative” even though there were like fifty different types of music.  But they all had this […]

Interview with Perturbator (Worship the Gods of VHS)

Those of you who have been paying attention to us recently know we reviewed a few different dark synthwave bands in the past few months, in fact we’ve pretty much been going through a fad.  But around here that’s what you want to see, it means we’re giving you more of that hard-hitting somethingrather journalism […]
