Adi Christianize \ death metal \ Everlasting Spew Records \ Hellish God \ Italy \ Technical Death Metal \ you heard this already metal
I really wanted to slam to this one. For two reasons. One, the art kills, two I have yet to give such praise to a death metal band from Italy. Let’s start with the art. Though not atypical, or even moderately unique, the cover of The Evil Emanations, by Adi Christianize of Dechristianize Art, is so […]
Abysmal Grief \ doom metal \ Italy \ occult metal \ ouija board love \ Regen Graves \ Sun & Moon Records \ Terror from Hell Records
I was really drawn to the art of this one, by the current guitarist of Abysmal Grief Regen Graves, and I also wanted to give it a shot because I’m pretty sure I’ve never reviewed anything from Sun & Moon Records or Terror from Hell Records before. If I did it was before the new […]
Black Faith \ black metal \ Italian \ Italian black metal \ Italy \ like it's black metal what do you want \ Throats Production
Italian black metal. Just doesn’t roll off the tongue, or out the mouth, as vomit, which means at least it’s not so bad that you’re led into revulsion. There’s simply something about that word combination that seems a contradiction. Why? Italian metal, in general, I’ve found, tends to be highly derivative, though there are certainly […]
dark \ death metal \ decay \ Italy \ Nuclear War Now! Productions \ rotting \ Sangue \ shadows \ smelly mold
Knowing that the former drummer of Pungent Stench was part of this gang, I figured it had to be good. That’s kind of strange to say about a drummer, because, well, they drum. What else can you say? If you can pound good enough, no one really pays attention, but Rector Stench had this style […]
¡ZAS! Autoproduzioni \ Ape Unit \ crapcore \ Distrozione \ Don Carlos Productions \ grindcore \ Here And Now! Records \ Italy \ poopcore \ powerviolence \ Tadca Records \ Uterus Productions \ Vollmer Industries
Grindcore is dragging on its last legs. Scratch that, it didn’t have any legs over the past ten years, it was a mere torso with arms. Now those arms are gone, and it’s ground its lower half into so many surfaces it’s about up to its neck, close to the brain, where it can finally […]
Argento Records \ death \ doom \ fakky as filth \ filthy as fak \ Grime \ Italy \ sludge \ sludge metal
Sludge is an interesting genre. It’s something like grindcore, but with way less blast beats to cover up crap riffs, and more of a groove. As such, one can consider it grindcore gone meinstreem, or perhaps better to say a genre that can capture the attention of more than a distinct few weirdos who only […]
best Goth \ Goth \ Italy \ neo-Goth \ Seventh Crow Records \ The Last Hour \ The Three Heads of Cerberus \ The White Room
Well that’s kind of a cool title for a little special feature, isn’t it? We previously referred to this as “Triple Header” the last time we did it, which was way before this new version of the site launched. Since then we’ve only done our “Double Header” feature a few times, but not the triple. […]
blackened \ Drown Within Records \ Italy \ LAMBS \ post-hardcore \ posted-black metal
Witness me! I’m currently a bit bitter about my butthole because I’ve had a hemorrhoid since March and when I thought I was out of this itchy butthole bleeding game, the Taco Bell poops just has to pull me back in. If you don’t know anything about hemorrhoids, I’ll enlighten you and tell you that […]
black metal \ blackened blackity black metal blackness \ blackened death metal \ death metal \ Italy \ Mefitic \ Nuclear War Now! Productions
This is such an awesome name for a band, even though it’s a spelling variation. Who cares? It sounds so Goddamned vile it pleases one to speak it aloud to others. To what are you listening, friend? Mefitic. To which they shirk in horror, knowing only from the staticy bile coming from your ears that […]
Destroy All Gondolas \ destroy the filthy fascist gondola canals \ hardcore \ Italy \ punk \ Satan rools \ Satanism \ Venice
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 […]
