Verdalack – Force from the Grave (Vampiric Blackened Speed Punk)
Uh oh we got a band using a vampire term for their name. That could be bad… But, lol, hey, they’re from Japan, so trust me, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Any band from Japan can take any genre and make it better than it ever was, especially when it comes to metal. […]

Wizardry Variants Daphne (GOAT RPG Series Returns to Glory)
I think it’s hilarious that no one has a clue why this game is called Wizardry Variants Daphne. I’ve seen various theories and explanations, but the mystery about it is such a troll move. And, to be honest, it’s part of the mystique of this awesome game, my current vote for best phone game […]

Immortal Death – Demo (Grisly Black Metal)
Leave it to the Japanese, yet again, to truly terrify. How are they so damn good at mixing it up? I just don’t get it. Is it something culturally imbedded over there? Well, regardless, we have another example here of taking a tired old style and turning it into something so horrifying even the […]

Evil Dead Trap / 死霊の罠 (Experimental J-Horror Slasher)
Here’s a good one, but not for reasons you’d likely guess. Having heard the legends of the “Evil Dead Trap Trilogy” (is it really though?), I was always curious about them, but not until I learned that 88 Films was doing their own Blu-ray drop of the first and second did I decide I […]

Maris Anguis – Infernal Reign (Black Ambient Soul Purge)
There’s good ambient, and there’s bad ambient, regardless of subgenre. There is no middle. The reason is simple. The artist is either skilled at making music, or merely holds keys on a keyboard. I’ve said this a bagillkillion times. Here we have something even beyond the usual skill, though, something of darkly mythic potential. […]

Abigail / Nekrofilth – Fuck in Hell’s Evil Bitches (Incorrect Grammar Blackened Thrash / Hardcore Punk)
I usually complain about splits, primarily because one band outweighs the other, but let’s forget about that today because this is not such a case. This is Abigail fools! The rulers of splits! The kings of splits! The god emperors of splits! The demiurges of splits! Say it how you want, but these guys […]

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 […]
