Sleepwraith – S/T (“For Fans Of” Derivative Metal)
Now here’s a nice example of “for fans of.” Usually when I see that phrase in a promo I groan and the whole album is already in my head before I start. Sleepwraith are entirely new. You’ll find almost nothing about them aside from ramblings about this very S/T on sites like ours. That’s […]

Infected Syren – S/T (Cypriot Punk)
I’m glad I can finally say I reviewed a band from Cyprus, because the adjective “Cypriot” just sounds so great. So, here we have, for the first time ever, a Cypriot Punk outfit, though just “punk” is not nearly enough to describe them. This particular one, Infected Syren (also the band’s name), was further down my queue […]

Holocausto – War Metal Massacre
Where can I even begin with this album, which I’ve listened to at least three times a week for the past four months? I started where I usually do, by looking around at what others have to say, after I’ve already formed my own opinion. I often find myself alone, or partially, constantly saddened by […]

Execució – Demo
After all the work we’ve been doing recently, there came a time when enough was enough but circumstances made it pertinent to keep going anyway and push through the pain. When life gets you down, when work never ends, when you have to finish things in a day you normally do over the course of […]

Cassette Assault – Metal and Noise
Get your guns, get your gurls, or mens, and prepare, for a….cassette assault! If you’re new around here, this is when we check out a series of four different cassettes in the same review. Sometimes from the same label, maybe the same band, but this time we’re doing a set of tapes from four different […]

SCUMRISE!: Super Hits EP
Finland has a rather vibrant underground, but most of what we’ve heard here is of the hardcore variety, for some reason. Yes, believe it or not, Finnish hardcore is a “a thing,” as it were. Why do we question your belief? Because who associates Finland with anything but trolls and poorly-written troll metal, right? Well, […]

Wild Throne: Blood Maker
Yeah, sometimes bands can blow you the feck away. Like totally. Like you look behind you and where you expect to at least see limbs there’s barely a spray of blood and miniscule chunks. If there are chunks they’re practically the same splatter as the rest of it. Blood Maker comes via way of Brutal Panda […]

Death Valley Driver: Graveyard Dead
When we first encountered these guys a year or so ago, the disc was too old to review and well, we didn’t like it much anyway. The cover was a huge WTF with some sort of skeletal Mexican wrestler holding a mic that looked more like a computer mouse and some ghost chick under his […]

Fist Fight in the Parking Lot: Year of the Ox
We first came across Fist Fight in the Parking Lot via their self-released EP about a year or so ago. Verdict? Awesome, but unfortunately we can’t show you the proof because we’re programming the archives so they work properly due to the fact they’re in an older version of PHP no longer supported. Take our […]

Eclectika: Lure of Ephemeral Beauty
Here’s a lack of consistency if there ever was one. Imagine a book put together without any paper or glue and it would be before you here. Lure of Ephemeral Beauty opens with a pretty awesome keyboard romp, kind of like the Diablo II soundtrack with more military. By the way it stomps and crushes skulls, […]
