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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Kapitan Korsakov: stuff & such
Damn it, not again! Not again!!! You see, you look at the poorly Shooped (that means Photoshopped) cover, and you immediately write it off. “Wow, nice, someone got the free download version of CS or something, that’s nice, next!“, you say to yourself, and come back to it as you get to the bottom of the […]

Sloth Herder: Abandon Pop Sensibility
Funny story about Frederick, MD. The reviewer who is penning this review here happens to be doing research for a novel partially based on a true story, part of which involves a man shooting his wife through the heart, who was originally from Frederick, like really, that part’s completely true. After he killed her, and […]

Tons: Musineè Doom Session Vol. 1
Now and then doom bands get the name right. It’s not about the name, you say? No, it is about the name, damn it. None of this stupid wizard junk with fire, bong smoking, electric space-worm-riding, trip-to-the-sun-in-a-cardboard-spaceship, Jesus-in-Hell-with-the-Virgin-doing-lines-whilst-reading-The Return of the King junk that’s boring. Sadly that was a reference to probably about two hundred […]

No Trust: Unfound
There are lots of these two-piece bands around nowadays, maybe because talent is getting thin. And it’s not an easy thing to achieve, for a very simple reason. Without some sort of depth, whether it be via samples, synth, orchestra, various layers over several takes, whatever it is, it often only survives a single listen […]
