Anatomia – Corporeal Torment (Dismal Slow Death Metal)

  Here’s a time where I agree with the band beyond any calculable percentages. Dismal slow death metal. Damn, that covers it. Japan’s Anatomia have been in the scene for almost twenty years now, but their full-length output is rather small in comparison to their variety of demo, EP, and especially split appearances. That seems […]

Evil – Possessed by Evil (Stop Being So Good Japanese Blackened Thrash)

  Oh my gosh can Japan stop being so good? Seriously they’re always so good. Why is any genre that country touches so good? Man something going on over there, I swear. That brings us to the unassuming blackened thrash outfit Evil, who chose perhaps the most obvious name of all for this type of […]

Ami-Bique – きょむりま (From Japan = Good Always)

  I’ve been begging for some good noise for so long I decided it’s not a musical genre anymore. Harsh noise wall, which is what I usually see in the promo emails, also needs to die. It consistently lacks purpose, the stuff children create. Record AM radio static and add some meaningless, deep title to […]

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K (Uber Yet Untermensch Anime)

  Oh yeah anime time. Why you take so long? Unlike sites of trash, I finish a series before I review, imagine that. How can one judge an anime on one episode or one season, if there are more than one? Like video games, a few minutes is not enough. Please. You may consider, by looking […]

Butcher ABC – North of Hell (ABCs of Goregrind)

  I know I’ve heard of this Japanese grind machine before, this Butcher ABC, I just can’t remember where. Then again, there are a ton of bands in Japan just like this, but this particular gathering of grind maniacs is one of the oldest. They’ve been around for almost 25 years now, and that’s an amazing […]

Mob Psycho 100 (Best Anime of All Time Fight Me IRL)

It can be so hard to find good anime. Well, I take that back, it’s probably true that most anime is good since it breaks with the stale conventions of American and European media, but there’s just so damn much of it. Who has the time to go through a series with like 500+ episodes? Not me, […]

Ajin (Misanthropic Anime)

Really need to do more anime, so let’s bring it back with Ajin, a series well-known to anime fans but with far less reach into the world above (read: loser kingdom), in spite of both of the current seasons being streamed on Netflix back in 2016. Yeah, I know, we around here have other ways of […]

Watching the World Die – Gantz: 0

Watching the World Die – Gantz: 0

I was doing a cursory search through films the other day, looking for something to ruin me further, down into the deepest pits of the Internet where money is meaningless (you know what that means). I happened upon something I only knew about through GIFs, and assumed was merely a newer video game rendition of […]

SPLITting Headache – Some Stuff

SPLITting Headache – Some Stuff

You know for all the damn splits that were released in the past year, I sure got only a few of them in the promo emails and regular mail. Why? Why can I not enjoy more splitting of the production costs and music? Why can I not compare one band to another on the same […]

Many Arms & Toshimaru Nakamura – S/T

It’s sadly been awhile since we’ve reviewed something from the highly underappreciated Public Eyesore, or as we like to lovingly call them “The Pub”, “The Eye”, or “The Sore”.  The guy has an obsession, or perhaps a fetish, or perhaps a dedication if we’re speaking lovingly, of experimental music in its essence.  Free jazz, power electronics […]
