Dipygus – S/T (Devonian Beast Sludge Death)

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

Dipygus – S/T (Devonian Beast Sludge Death)

  This is one of the few bands that came in the promos in the past year that really nails their themes and aesthetic to a degree that deserves attention alone. I’m not sure entirely how to define what you’re about to get out of this, either, but it’s a mixture of center of the […]

Body Void – Atrocity Machine (Physically Revolting Acid Metal)

Body Void – Atrocity Machine (Physically Revolting Acid Metal)

  This is like political, crusted, body horror sludge or something, or let’s just say acid metal. That’s the best I could come up with today, and thankfully I hit upon this in the emails because it came in a bit late. Got a few days late to scrunch it in there so let’s do […]

Rorcal – Silence (18th Century Post-Sludgecore Artistry)

Rorcal – Silence (18th Century Post-Sludgecore Artistry)

  Had some really bad promos this month. I almost settled a few times, almost did it, I swear to God I almost did. But I will not! I…WILL…NOT! Glad I abstained, because the new one here from Switzerland’s Rorcal is exactly what I was waiting for. No more compromising! I can’t believe I got […]

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 […]

Coffin Torture – Blennoid (Hallucinatory Sludge Metal)

Coffin Torture – Blennoid (Hallucinatory Sludge Metal)

  I probably liked this more than I should have because of that cover art. I mean damn have you seen anything better than that in the past century? It tells you everything you need to know about Coffin Torture’s brand of sludge metal; it’s pungently sticky like mucous, and slightly hallucinogenic. And can you […]

OvO – Ignoto (Antideluvian Industrial Black Metal Sludge Drone HS)

OvO – Ignoto (Antideluvian Industrial Black Metal Sludge Drone HS)

  Holy shit. Sometimes I wonder why I continue to curate promos, but I must remind myself it’s simple. One, not enough time to do everything, and two, most of what I receive is B average at best. Why bother? But, now and then I get something like OvO here and just have to say […]

Rosy Finch – Scarlet (Real Pain Sludge Metal)

Rosy Finch – Scarlet (Real Pain Sludge Metal)

  I had my doubts about this one at first. I saw the band drop references to 90s grunge acts I’d rather forget, except in a nightmare, and anyone running that kind of line of defense is usually eliminated in a few riffs. Don’t show your age too much, you know? But Rosy Finch are […]

Drofnosura – Voidfever (Sludge Chunk of Depression)

Drofnosura – Voidfever (Sludge Chunk of Depression)

  Now and again I come across something like Voidfever and I’m like “where did everyone go?” As the skeletal-faced, hooded thing on the cover by Dusty Ray devours the eyes and pulls inward you become introspective, sullen, and separated. Is it just me listening to this? Why though? It troubles me when a great […]

CASSETTE ASSAULT (Stuff I’ve Been Sitting Upon)

CASSETTE ASSAULT (Stuff I’ve Been Sitting Upon)

It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these, and that’s primarily because of a special app I’m seriously working on for the site where I can give some press to stuff I don’t review on in this way anymore. Bad art, or just ehhh releases, will all have their due eventually. Sometimes this […]
