Diabolic Oath – Unholy Barbaric Hymns (Bestial Blackened Death Metal of Pure Beast)
I just love Sentient Ruin Laboratories. Everything dude releases sounds something like this, but it never tires, it never ages, it remains robust in spite of similarities and in spite of continuing, confidently, on the same path. Feeble? Never. For he truly knows how to dig deep into the blackness, pulling out great sources […]

NOIR NOIR – Black Curtain / Divine Swelling (Deathwave)
I tend to avoid releases like this, but I so rarely receive anything of the industrial or out of the various wave genres that I need to be less picky. Not picky about the music, because this kills, but about the details. In this case, to begin, the work is incredible, my only hesitation […]

Gawthrop – Kuboa (Wretched Sludge Doom)
Honestly I was not a fan of this at first. South Korea’s Gawthrop dilutes industrial death and noise into a stark, super-pressurized form of sludge doom that’s so absolutely wretched it will likely remind you of the drudgery that is your life. The compressed sound held me back, at first, until I really listened […]

Prophetic Suffering – Rivalry of Thyself (Ultra-Gruesome Bestial Death Metal)
I feel like I needed this right now. I needed a warlike, unrelenting, gruesome, beat down. Leave to Sentient Ruin Laboratories, yet again, to provide the answer to my problem. Canada’s Prophetic Suffering state that their debut full-length, Rivalry of Thyself, is essentially a summoning of “pure hell,” and that’s purely sufficient to prepare […]

Horse Butcher – S/T (Also Under the Name of Bestial Deathgrind)
Oh, God… Now, I’m well aware that Sentient Ruin Laboratories has totally crowned himself king of the darkest of underground vileness, but I don’t think I was entirely prepared for Horse Butcher (featuring members of Hissing) and their debut full-length, also under the name of Horse Butcher. References to Carcass probably seem replete for […]

Hässlig – Apex Predator (Raw Blackened Punk)
Oh man, oh boy, oh Jesus. See that album title? Apex Predator. Are you feeling a little base? A little beta? Are you a little weakling in spirit? Are you psychologically impotent and in need of an unmedical boost? Well, listen here, Spain’s Hässlig will put bubbles in the blood, get your mouth frothing […]

Diabolic Oath – Oracular Hexations (Unrestrained Bestial Black Metal)
Another smasher from Sentient Ruin Laboratories, let’s start there. From there let’s move to the band, Diabolic Oath, a three-piece from Portland, Oregon, that insists on making the listener hallucinate. Oracular Hexations leaves the brain and all thoughts within it disfigured. What at first appears a dark story woven by a degenerate becomes far […]

Invultation – Feral Legion (Werewolf Metal)
You know, I’ve seen the werewolf theme used quite a bit in metal, in a variety of genres too. Sometimes it’s cheese, sometimes it’s sleaze, mostly, just please. Rarely does it offer a band a chance at greatness, it’s kind of too golden age to work as I’ve seen it mainly presented, but, well, […]

Uranium – Pure Nuclear Death (Black Industrial)
Now here’s a damn fine contrast to the review I just posted. From gloom pop to this. So first I lament the fact I don’t get enough gloom and dark pop, and here we are with something else I don’t get a lot of, or at least usually not good, black and/or dark industrial. […]

Kontusion – S/T (Raw and Mutilated Death Punk)
Whelp, I died. Another Sentient Ruin smacker. I pretty much guessed that, though, without even scoping the label. Xeroxed cover from a rotted-on-the-insides dumpster nuclear fire? Yep, musical summary right there folks, another example of my “see that cover, this sounds like that” intro. Even better, though, is how the overlapping of lines makes […]
