Forndom – Alster (Haunting Dark Ritual Folk)
Yeah I get these ambient submissions sometimes and it always reminds me how difficult it is it to make a lasting impression or be effective in the genre. It’s far beyond that in difficulty if you’re remaking tracks within the genre that were released in a previously different form. This is exactly what Sweden’s […]

Third Storm – The Locust Mantra (Blackened Melodic Thrash Death Metal Woah)
Here’s another interesting one from Sweden. I saw a bit of semi-hate concerning The Locust Mantra out there, mainly that it doesn’t “stand out,” but I’ve said it before is that always necessary? Plus, Third Storm are also much older than you’d expect so perhaps think a bit, listen harder, and see what comes […]

Intéremo – Buried in Rotten Remains (Crunchy South American Swedeath What?)
This one surprised me for one detail. I swore to God and all previous pagan deities and whatever else that this absolutely had to be from somewhere in South America. Chile, I thought. But, nope, actually Sweden! Talk about incorrect! Anyway, this presents a conundrum and something unexpected at the same time. Swedish death […]

Rotpit – Let There Be Rot (Flippant Rotted Death Metal)
This is such a lovable type of band. When someone doesn’t give a shit and so clearly wallows in simplicity for the sake of it, I just have to hand out a hug. A deep embrace just to say “thank you, thank you for keeping it stupid.” It’s even more important here, because these […]

Bastard Grave – Vortex of Disgust (Brackish Swedish Death Metal)
This is the kind of album I’m going to refer to from now on as a “sinker.” It needed to sink on in there before I liked it, because to be honest, at first, it sounded like a million other promos I get every week. Okay so it’s only about 500, but still. That’s […]

Funereality – Til Death (STDeath Metal)
Well isn’t this fun? I’m probably going to far with my chosen fake genre for today, but it’s just how I’m feeling, okay?! After the downfall of Pungent Stench and a more recent release of an album stuck in production hell for years that was a general blah, I really missed that filthy groove […]

Der Trauerschwan – Sanguinare Vampiris (Vampiric Blackened Doom Metal)
Albums can still sometimes surprise me. I mean how many bands trying to creep have used black and white graveyard shots for their covers? I don’t even want to know. But there was something different about this one. Something delicate and subtle. But, then again, hold up, we got vampire shit going on here […]

Maschinenzimmer 412 – Malfeitor (Swedish Black Industrial)
Gold daing I’m so happy to finally get something like this worth my time! Honestly, Cold Spring slams this type of stuff any time I receive a promo from them, I just haven’t been into much of the artwork lately, but this one sold me, superficially and deeply. Still, let’s be a little honest, […]
Chaos Records \ Påhl Sundström \ Sweden \ Swedish death metal
Gold Spire – S/T (Let’s Toss in Some Sax Swedish Death Metal)
I was pretty sure I was probably going to like this, so imagine my surprise when I really didn’t. Bummer. Gold Spire consists of members of some pretty important Swedeath bands, most importantly Usurpress. Swedish death metal has, simply put, been known for bending the rules, or outright discarding them. This one I saw […]

Exil – Warning (An EXciting Hardcore Punk EXperience)
Gawsh finally some more hardcore punk ass shit for me to review that got me pretty EXcited. Enough that I decided to EXpress myself by capitalizing two letters for some reason in some sick attempt to verify my own EXistence. Can you blame me? I was getting sick of all the trash I receive […]
