Hexenbrett – Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter (Blackened Rock Past Puberty)
Finally! I’ve been waiting for mystery duo Hexenbrett to get their shit together. They definitely had the mystique down. No one really knows where they’re from (most likely Germany, but possibly the United States), but putting this into their particular brand of blackened rock has been largely a miss since their first EP in […]

Deathrite – Flames Licking Fever (Eerie Death Punk)
Nice. Needed something to mix things up around here! Plus, I received so much garbage these past months it’s been tough whittling it down to anything good, let alone something that rawks as much as Flames Licking Fever, the latest full-length from Germany’s Deathrite (capitalized or no?). There are a number of acts out […]

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 […]

Mechanic Tyrants – St. Diemen Riots (Dystopian Speed Metal PS Rush Sucks)
I was about to not even listen to this. The art drew me in with that killer layout, but then I read the label’s assertion that Germany’s Mechanic Tyrants is like Rush and I wanted to puke all over myself. I’m not the only one who’s said, it Rush is extremely overrated. They were […]
AOP Records \ Germany \ Nona Limmen \ philosophical black metal
Firtan – Ethos (Philosophical Black Metal)
Hooo boy this was sure to be glorious. Let’s pretend we’ve heard of Firtan before, collectively. Now that that’s covered, consider the cover it self, a beautiful rendition of feminine spirit and strength in the face of suffering, by the ever-dark Nona Limmen. Even such a selection for the visuals speaks volumes of the […]

Sijjeel – Affiliation of Horrid Containment (Abominable Brutal Death Metal)
I feel bad I never reviewed a single promo submission I’ve received over the years from North Carolina’s Comatose Music until this very moment. You all know I’m picky, but why am I so harsh towards brutal death metal? I’m harsh towards everything. I hear too much similarity in style, I’m the hell out […]

Vulture – Sentinels (Retro Speed Thrash Metal Screaming from the Pulpit)
Great example here of a band evolving over the course of its career into something greater. Germany’s Vulture are still relatively new to the whole retro thrash (with some speed) scene, but in that short time they’ve learned how to hone their craft, constantly reworking and revising before release, becoming a general force in […]

Nachts – Privileg (Pre or Perhaps Post-Suicidal Black Metal)
What in the hell kind of horrid past did this guy have? I knew I was going to get more sadness out of this than I bargained for, but holy hell guy, what did life do to you?! I have a penchant for the more emotional veins of black metal, depending on how it’s […]

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 […]
