blackened punk \ CVSPE \ Doomed Records \ Lisbon \ Portugal \ raging planet \ Regulator Records \ Ring Leader \ RSR / Hate Ape Prod
Ahhhh, it’s Systemik Viølence! I’ve been following these clowns for some time now, after they made some nasty waves in 2016 with Fuck as Punk, a tirade taking aim at pretty much everything that turned punk into an industry. Of course, old-school punk’s whole mantra was a stab at the mainstream, but once it […]
Helldprod Records \ Lisbon \ occult black metal \ Portugal
These old dudes got it going on. You didn’t think the plumbing worked? Think again. The veins, that bring blood, force it into the nether regions until the fingers tap upon the frets to create occult black metal mass while aged, vocal pipes shriek with wisdom and brevity. Wait now, what kind of plumbing […]
groove grind \ Larvae Records \ Porto \ Portugal \ Rui Pires \ Selfmadegod Records \ Xaninho Discos
Lot let’s see if Facebook let’s me promote this one. I didn’t even look at the band name at first, thinking it was some vegan post-hardcore thing that tries to shock by showing real animal violence, but then I was like, oh, wait, nah this is like some Portuguese grind or something and I’m […]
blackened death metal \ Helter Skelter Productions \ Portugal \ Regain Records \ Sickness 666
This is yet another sick promo from Portugal I’ve received these past few months, though the band photos it came with included one with dude creepily crossing two flaming tiki torches omg so scary. In spite of that silliness, you’d still expect sickness upon looking at the cover by Thailand’s “Sickness 666” with, let’s […]
dungeon black metal \ Portugal \ Signal Rex
I guess this is the week I deal out some Central and South American crud. Total chance, but this, along with a new one from Sacrocurse, happened to come in at the same time and neither decided to suck so nice on that count. Few in black metal fandom have not heard of the […]
beast attack \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ kuroccult \ Portugal \ war metal \ zombie metal
I’m either going through a phase or this type metal is just always good. I know you all call it “war metal” but since it’s so awesome I like to call it “warsome metal.” The term will never stick, but I can claim it as my own. So Necrobode I’ve heard, and they’ve screamed […]
doom metal \ melancholic ghost metal \ Pedro Carmo \ Portugal \ post-metal \ season of mist \ SINISTRO \ sludge metal \ that singing is great metal
I’m either just getting more emotionally biased as I age, or this band’s style is one of the directions in which metal needs to go come on now get with it. I don’t recall ever hearing of SINISTRO until this moment, well not this exact moment, but this point in time let’s get existential. Their label, Season […]
Atila \ Bisnaga Records \ dead house \ electronica \ ghost house \ Portugal \ Signal Rex \ witch house
Boy we needed a dose of this. Too much dark synthwave anymore, has anyone noticed that? How could you not? With the quickness of the Internet, as soon as something catches, it’s everywhere, it burns through the kindling of memes and vines like a giant backdraft that’s somehow appeared in an open space. Give it […]
Altare Productions \ atmospheric \ black metal \ doom metal \ Mordgrimm \ Nevoa \ our first score that is like something on your calculator after messing around with it \ Portugal
Before I begin, I want to go out and say that if you’re going to ask me to review your album or whatever, I would very much appreciate it you – I don’t know, gave me the album? I’ve had a few people message me over the last few weeks about reviews and I want […]
best black metal \ black metal \ Corpus Christii \ Folter Records \ moons and trees and black metal stuff like that \ Portugal
If there’s one country that’s supremely diffuse in terms of its representation of various types of black metal, it’s Portugal, which is surprising considering its relatively small size in comparison to most of Europe. But in spite of its smaller landmass, hugging the ocean, or Spain, whichever direction it chooses to embrace, it’s filled with […]
