Seltsame Erden – Gedankentempeln (Hauntingly Mystical Black Metal)

Seltsame Erden – Gedankentempeln (Hauntingly Mystical Black Metal)

  I decided on three music reviews this week, can you believe it? They must be pretty damn good then! Truth. As I go through more and more promos over the years I feel like my mind demands things to be more clever. And with good reason; there are far too many acts doing things […]

The Moth – Frost (Sludge Doom Pop)

  What’s with all this tastiness I’ve been receiving recently? Went through a big glut of metal for awhile and suddenly I’ve been seeing stuff from genres outside of the usual darkness. Sludge doom pop? Yeah, I’ll take that, I need that. Gawsh. I’ve sampled their work before, but their latest, Frost, is a dip […]

Maggot Heart – Hunger (Primal Prophetic Post-Punk)

Maggot Heart – Hunger (Primal Prophetic Post-Punk)

  I’ve seen a lot of bands defined as “defying categorization,” a bit ironic, yes, but usually also more than a bit wrong. Oftentimes such phraseology is used as an attempt to sell something from the musical bargain bin. That wretched state of existence where everything you never heard of dwells and attempts to scream […]

Baxaxaxa – De Vermis Mysteriis (Cleaner and Meaner Anguished Black Metal)

  Goddamn it I just love Baxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaaaa but man I just can’t spell their name right still! I reviewed these guys before and it’s still a goddamn problem! Jeez! I have to check it or cut-and-paste every…single…time. Well, if anything, at least they’re back with another full-length instead of dipping back into obscure mists, and, […]

Porta Nigra – Weltende (Fin de siècle Black Metal)

Porta Nigra – Weltende (Fin de siècle Black Metal)

  Is there another way to say “this one blew me away?” Well that rhymed so start with that, I suppose. No, I shall not! I shall not! Now and again a promo is so accurate in its description of a band it’s immediately obvious you’re about to hit upon something unique. Focusing on fin […]

Rotpit – Let There Be Rot (Flippant Rotted Death Metal)

Rotpit – Let There Be Rot (Flippant Rotted Death Metal)

  This is such a lovable type of band. When someone doesn’t give a shit and so clearly wallows in simplicity for the sake of it, I just have to hand out a hug. A deep embrace just to say “thank you, thank you for keeping it stupid.” It’s even more important here, because these […]

Depravation – IV:LETVM (Such a Good German Blackened Crust)

Depravation – IV:LETVM (Such a Good German Blackened Crust)

  Yesssssss. Gimmie some of that blackened crust yo. This might be a first actually… A first in the sense of this site reviewing such a band, and a first in the sense of such a band being such a good. It might seem like an easy formula since crust is close to death metal […]

Jade – The Pacification of Death (Good Old Atmospheric Death Metal)

  Dang I forgot to review this before I went on a little old trip. Oh well, it still deserves it then or now so I’ll ignore my usual rule of rarely review after release date for good old Jade. What a bunch of good old guys, playing that atmospheric death metal that makes me […]

Der Fan / The Fan (West German New Wave Horror Thriller)

Der Fan / The Fan (West German New Wave Horror Thriller)

  You ever go to a concert and see that lost soul in the corner with the faraway thousand-yard stare? Yeah, I think you have…this movie is about one of those. Long unseen for many years aside from those of us unlucky enough to discover it in the Adult section of the video store (where it snuck out under the name Trance) and scholars such as Chas […]

Abythic – Eden of the Doomed (No Blue Balls Haunting German Death Metal)

Abythic – Eden of the Doomed (No Blue Balls Haunting German Death Metal)

  Dang, shit’s tight, and strangely there aren’t many reviews for it even though I’m a bit late on this one. Plus I normally avoid EPs, mainly because I rarely see the point in them. It’s like, you got a few good songs together, why not just fooking wait until you have more and let […]
