Negative Prayer – Self // Wound (Repulsive Body Horror Crust Metal)

  Oooo this one has some power behind it. I guess it has to since it fits easily into the crust metal genre but yet… I don’t like dropping tags often, but Portland, Oregon’s Negative Prayer can definitely be rooted in that as well as the tradition of d-beat, yet, hmm, there’s something different here… […]

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 […]

Dripping Decay – Festering Grotesqueries (Truly Dripping Old School Death Metal)

  Not much else to expect from a band naming themselves Dripping Decay, than, well, exactly that! I love it when artists immerse themselves in an idea, and these guys are completely covered in stuff that drips. Their logo drips, their artwork drips, and the music, yes, it drips. Their “mascot” is even named ‘Drippy,’ […]

Disimperium – Grand Insurgence Upon Despotic Altars (Volcanic Death Grind)

  Crap has it really been three years since I reviewed something from Sentient Ruin Laboratories? Not sure how that happened… Sorry bro. Actually I don’t think I dug any of the art until now, and also also I was super behind on promos some months ago and basically just deleted everything to start tabula […]

Torture Rack – Primeval Onslaught (Better Than Good Enough Death Metal)

  These past two weeks I’ve had a bunch of “eh, good enough” death metal promos to sort through. And you know what? I don’t have time for that anymore! I don’t want “good enough,” especially not with “eh,” I want better than good enough! I want at least almost better than that! The best […]

Leathürbitch – Shattered Vanity (Leathery Sleaze Metal)

Leathürbitch – Shattered Vanity (Leathery Sleaze Metal)

  With a name like Leathürbitch there are no secrets to be purged. No past wrongs that need to be expunged. No lies to be forgiven, no mistakes. If one is to combine the leather with anything, it’s outright sleaze and there’s no coming back from the path. There is no guilt, no shame, only […]

Ulthar – Anthronomicon (Abomination Metal)

  Ulthar can do no wrong at this point, pretty sure about that. When we last encountered them I was thrilled by the music, but disgusted at the thematics, which were, ugh, Lovecraft BS; a theme far too many metal bands have milked dry until only blood remains, and you don’t even want any of […]

Tithe – Inverse Rapture (Alzheimer’s Death Grind)

  This is the kind of release that just makes me super happy. Just almost everything’s good about it, you know? You’ve got a cover that digs out your soul and chews it to bits, a spider-webbed logo you want to snuggle up in, a turning of religion on its head in a clever way […]

Decrepisy – Emetic Communion (Filthy Neologism Metal)

  Now here’s something that sounds like dying in a pile of rotting wastes the regurgitated bile disgorged from a pestilent pseudo-phallus or what not. You’ve probably heard it all in reference to metal like this; disgusting riff offal, subslime stank, putrid remorse wastes, vomitous carnage machine, etc. How many clever words can I use […]

Glacier – The Passing of Time (The Power Metal Crown Has Passed)

  These dudes are so carefree, and it’s such a welcome, chill breath upon the skin. I knew they were chill when I checked out the band photo. Band photos can tell you pretty much 90% about a band and its music. So here we have these dudes just standing there, almost no emotion, against […]
