Great Falls – A Sense of Rest (Post-Prefix Hardcore)

  There was something to this one I couldn’t find the adjectives to explain, and then it came to me, just choose a prefix or two, though I’ll focus on “un.” Unengaging, ungood, see how easy? Let me explain further so it’s more unclear. Post-hardcore goes in one of two directions: interesting or uninteresting. The […]

Hopeless Youth – Limited Edition Cassette and Shirt

Here we go, oh yes. Time for the next product, or I should say “ritual”, for you to purchase. That’s right, like you, I thrive on money and something like fame. Actually it’s just fake, but the money isn’t, and don’t forget any profits I get go straight to the band! I keep only production […]

Quick Reviews – January & February 2016

In case you missed it, we do special, short reviews now on Facebook. These are reserved for albums that aren’t quite awesome, but yet also not quite terrible. Full site reviews are now reserved for stuff that blows minds to bits, or makes you wish you could do that literally. This was simply a way […]

Hopeless Youth – Devil, Walk with Me

Such moments wrap chains of memories around the mind. Before me is a face only a day prior could speak to me and kiss with emotion, with life. My fingers run over her cold skin and I cradle her slack body, running my fingers over the black lace on the dress in which she shall […]

Collision – Satanic Surgery

Did you know that grindcore can seriously be a real genre?  It’s true.  Unfortunately, not true enough, but when it’s true, it’s TRUE in ALL CAPS.  Perhaps it’s just difficult to be that true, considering all the obstacles.  The ineffectual “humor”, the sloppy chord work for legitimacy, the samples, you know it all already because […]

Svalbarduk – One Day All This Will End

I’m a bit confused here.  Not sure when this band changed their name from Svalbard to Svalbarduk but when the promo was downloaded from Haulix, it was Svalbard.  Their banner is Svalbard, their logo is Svalabard, their Bandcamp page is Svalbard, but their official Facebook band name and URL is Svalbarduk.  Do you know the […]

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 […]

Interview with Destroy All Gondolas (Light the Filth Canals on Fire)

Nothing beats digging around and discovering something like these guys, Italy’s Destroy All Gondolas, who we reviewed several weeks ago.  As soon as that first track opened we were tossed into the waves of a polluted surf, run over by crazed speed punks that played their instruments like surf rockers who prefer gas huffing to […]
