Duivel – Heiligschennis (Truly Blasphemous Black Metal)
Lol man, this cover. The cut-and-paste painting style displays one of the most vile things I’ve ever seen. It’s sure to defile, and much like the band who dared to have it crafted, Duivel, its blasphemous in ways more glaring than you’d first expect. If you’re familiar with Dutch black metal in the slightest, […]

Cadaver Shrine – Benighted Desecration (Blackened Death Doom of the Funereal Quality)
I sometimes wonder if Maurice de Jong, known primarily for his project Gnaw Their Tongues, is like superhuman or something. The number of notable bands he’s constructed, all of a dark and experimental style, would practically be a review in itself. Simply writing them all down would achieve the word count I prefer, but […]

Collision – The Final Kill (Tears of Joy and Sadness Crossover Epilogue)
Nothing these guys do is wrong, there I said it. Even their earlier work, when they more heavily leaned grindcore, is tolerable. But none of that “their early stuff is better” nonsense because they just kept getting better. Not only do they have the guts to wear their own shirts, they realized that grindcore […]

Bezwering – Aan de wormen overgeleverd (UNDEATH METAL)
Bands really need to declare themselves “post” dash whatever when it’s fucking weird. When I hear “black metal,” for example, I expect horse-stomping drums, lo-fi tremolo blizzard storms with maybe riffs in there, and bass that’s rumbling behind all of it as the Popeye screech vocals commence. Lol where’s me spinach? So why bother […]
ambient black metal \ Dodenbezweerder \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Netherlands \ raw black metal \ woah long title
Dodenbezweerder – Vrees de toorn van de wezens verscholen achter majestueuze vleugels (Holy Shoiss SO LONG TITLE Ambient Black Metal)
Holy piss what a title this is. At least it translates well, but I’ll leave that up to you because I don’t want to waste any more space, goddamn. As I sit here with disease looming, stuff like this just sits so well. Part of me digs that classic black metal sound in almost […]

Entrapment – Through Realms Unseen (Corpse Compactor Metal)
Good, finally, I needed some color in my art to break up all the damn black and white on the slider. Awesome art by Marald van Haasteren. And, you know, sometimes I feel like this decaying corpse right here yeah. The weight of everything pressing down on you, you release a groan, and you’re basically like, […]

Collision – Satanic Surgery
Did you know that grindcore can seriously be a real genre? It’s true. Unfortunately, not true enough, but when it’s true, it’s TRUE in ALL CAPS. Perhaps it’s just difficult to be that true, considering all the obstacles. The ineffectual “humor”, the sloppy chord work for legitimacy, the samples, you know it all already because […]
