Maris Anguis – Infernal Reign (Black Ambient Soul Purge)

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)

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 […]

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

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)

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)

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 […]
