Throat – Blood Exaltation (Possessed Black Metal)

  Can musicians, or rather a band itself, be…possessed? I feel like possession has become too trite in media, so maybe that’s not a good idea, but then again has it been done yet for bands in particular? I’ll assume not and say that Poland/Finland’s Throat is just such a band. At some point in […]

Martyrdoom – As Torment Prevails (Pneumoniac Death Doom)

  For a name that sounds like a poor play on words at first, these guys can bring it. And talk about a comeback, phew! Having been absent from the scene for roughly six years, it’s almost as though they were reborn to reclaim the glory that was lost. I’ve heard some good death doom […]

Eternal Rot – Moribound (Zombified Grooving Death Doom)

  Here’s a band that remains the same yet sounds…different? Explain this to me, boys. Having reviewed Eternal Rot’s last one, Putridarium, and seeing the same style of art by the same artist (Mark Riddick), I expected, naturally, more of the same. Zombified, grooving death and doom, that’s what I mean. Dripping. Slipping. Sticking? And […]

Wilczyca – Magija (Misanthropic Vengeful Black Metal)

  Can the Poles do it any better? Yep, yet again. What else can I say about black metal that I haven’t already? What kind of criticisms, complaints, clichéd references? What’s the point? I think for once (actually trust me it’s not the first time), I’m going to just look at what we got for […]

Blacktail (Slavic Dark Fantasy Arrow Combat)

  Here’s a game that’s simply amazing. Little else needs to be said, but here goes. I hadn’t heard word of Blacktail until I saw it drop on GeForce Now, but the premise intrigued me, as it’s essentially billed as an origin story of the legendary witch of Eastern Europe, Baba-Yaga. Taking place in a […]

71TONMAN – Of End Times (Absolute Funeral Sludge)

71TONMAN – Of End Times (Absolute Funeral Sludge)

  In spite of having one of the absolute worst band names I’ve ever heard of (seriously, come on guys wtf), 71TONMAN absolutely destroy, even though they bring it slow. Of End Times is my first exposure to their work, and, combining the drag of funeral doom combined with the edgier push of sludge, they […]

OLS – Pustkowia (Blackened Polish Pagan Folk)

OLS – Pustkowia (Blackened Polish Pagan Folk)

  OLS can do no wrong, okay? I don’t mean that because I so rarely get any good folk, dark or otherwise, and am thus looking for anything close to good, but because she just does. It’s just an ultimate truth. OLS is the best. I was first paganly blessed by her last full-length for […]

Chainsword – Blightmarch (Dakka Dakka Metal)

Chainsword – Blightmarch (Dakka Dakka Metal)

  Ooooh those angry, angry Poles playing their video games. Still getting out that war angst I suppose. It’s understandable, the country was wrecked by subjugation and terror for like five-hundred years until the end of WWII, so I’d be pretty pissed too. But hey, I’ll allow it for at least one reason, that being […]

Evangelist – Ad Mortem Festinamus (Renaissance Doom Metal)

Evangelist – Ad Mortem Festinamus (Renaissance Doom Metal)

  This was certainly not what I expected at all but man did my general surprise turn into feelings of excitement, love, obsession, and pretty much lust. I’d marry these guys and find a way to bear their children, and their children’s children, and so on. I’d declare dual-citizenship and when asked “why do you […]

Magnus – Scarlet Slaughterer (Polish Thrash Speed Blood Metal)

Magnus – Scarlet Slaughterer (Polish Thrash Speed Blood Metal)

  I normally avoid reviewing reissues for the simple fact that they’re pretty common knowledge by the time they’re dumped again. Otherwise they wouldn’t be in consideration for reprinting, you know? But reissues of the same shit without a lick of anything new? No go here, I’m afraid, do a Googlite or Bingly search if […]
