Darkness Shall Rise Productions \ Germany \ Into Endless Chaos Records \ Misanthropic Art \ nihilistic death metal
Lunch time freaks. Catching up on some backlog I was first going to pass on this German death metal trio, but those echo vocals had me going too strong to let it pass me by. Archaic Thorn certainly have a more clever take on the anti-Christian stuff by only so slightly referring to it […]
Everlasting Spew Records \ Finland \ funeral doom \ Misanthropic Art \ Sentient Ruin Laboratories
So yeah yet again I’m convinced that this type of doom needs to hit with everything it’s got. You want a funeral, make it sound like one without the silliness. The slowness, the trudging steps, the abject suffering. It has to hit and hit well to succeed. Slow itself is not enough. It needs […]
Costa Rica \ Misanthropic Art \ post-black metal \ scary spells \ skull stuff \ Terratur Possessions
I forgot where Costa Rica was until I listened to these guys. For some reason I thought it was like an island by itself but it turns out it’s just near Panama. See, you can learn something new every time you listen to crud music, I swear. Perhaps the most important thing being that […]
death metal \ hooded ear infection \ Misanthropic Art \ Texas \ Transcending Obscurity Records \ Trench Warfare \ United States

The closest translation in English we have of Schrat is “bugbear,” you know, that thing from Dungeons & Dragons? Yeah, I get it, it’s old folklore and such, but […]
