Hammerhands – Glaciers
Awhile ago during one of our Quick n’ Dirty reviews, we gave a nasty review of a band called Hammer Fist and now this is a review of a band called Hammerhands, so the real question and the point of this review is what is tougher – a fist of hammer or hands of hammers? Continue […]

Cassette Assault! Noise, Noisy, Noisier!
Uh oh, folks, it’s time for another…cassette assault!!!! Or perhaps those exclamatives should be written as !!!!11!11!!!! Either way, we’re bringing it in that beautiful analog format that warps in the sun and makes stuff like this sound even better. Last time we had a selection of four beautiful pieces of plastic from one label, […]

Abstracter: Tomb of Feathers
This is a really cool album title, but unfortunately Tomb of Feathers is only an almost cool album. That sounds a lot more harsh than it actually was to us, so please, continue to read. Don’t stop now, it is your destiny. Abstracter is a progressive black metal band from out of California. With all of […]

Wreck of the Hesperus: Light Rotting Out
Anyone who doesn’t enjoy this album and pretends to understand depressing funeral doom is full of crap. So full of crap. We’re talking like your DNA is literally crap if you say such a thing. Your parents were no better than the C.H.U.D. that spews the bile-ridden sewage that led to there actually being a […]

Zozobra: Savage Masters
The Zozobra (Old Man Gloom) is an enormous effigy that’s built and burnt every fall in Santa Fe, New Mexico. People use the Zozobra as symbol of ridding themselves of their gloom for the coming winter, by lighting it all on fire but essentially going on to repeat the exact same mistakes they were trying […]

Death Valley Driver: Graveyard Dead
When we first encountered these guys a year or so ago, the disc was too old to review and well, we didn’t like it much anyway. The cover was a huge WTF with some sort of skeletal Mexican wrestler holding a mic that looked more like a computer mouse and some ghost chick under his […]

Greenhorn – The Plague Doctor’s Mask EP
Nothing beats receiving a self-released hack-job that actually ends up being…awesome. “What is this?” you wonder, as you stare at what looks like a…like a…yes that is the skull of a triceratops. Wait a minute, guys, this isn’t even a plague doctor’s mask! Okay, for once, let’s not put this aside, we said, let’s take […]

Dementia Senex – Heartworm
In a strange way, this EP is so, so, so, so refreshing. This winter has brought forth few notable releases to attention leading to a music slump of sorts. This is a light in the darkness. Heartworm is three tracks long clocking a little over 17 minutes and combines death metal, sludge, and post-hardcore into a fearsome […]

Regarde les Hommes Tomber: S/T
Here we go again, time to get redundant up in this. French hardcore, especially of the post variety, dominates. It’s one of the most atmospheric, creative, and musically confrontational hotbeds in the modern scene. We were first enlightened on this subject several years ago, and since then have been continually enlightened, endlessly enlightened. We’re so […]

Fist Fight in the Parking Lot: Year of the Ox
We first came across Fist Fight in the Parking Lot via their self-released EP about a year or so ago. Verdict? Awesome, but unfortunately we can’t show you the proof because we’re programming the archives so they work properly due to the fact they’re in an older version of PHP no longer supported. Take our […]
