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 […]
Armageddon Label \ blackened punk \ hardcore punk \ Joe BB \ Sweden
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 […]
death thrash \ Hellish Maggot \ Redefining Darkness Records \ Sweden
Morbid Breath – In the Hand of the Reaper (Fooking Death Thrash)
Oh yeah we got some death thrash here with fooking dragons, fooking castles, fooking crumbling stairs, fooking medieval torture devices, fooking lightning, and yeah even a fooking grim reaper crowning all of it with a fooking scythe. And being that Morbid Breath is also from fooking Sweden, you can anticipate that In the Hand […]

Koko-Di Koko-Da (Groundhog Day Murder Grief Film by Johannes Nyholm)
When The Babadook exploded in 2014, along came the usual flurry of thinkpieces praising an intelligent horror movie that dealt with the thorny topic of grief. Although labeling this a new development ignores the long history that horror has with bereavement, the recent trend of “elevated horror” films that explicitly address grief is undeniable. […]

Revolting – The Shadow at the World’s End (Acceptable Swedish Death Metal)
So I wasn’t a big fan of this at first. In fact I wasn’t a fan at all. I pretty much hated it, but then I realized it wasn’t the fault of Revolting, I had just heard too much typical death metal going through the promos and I forgot, lol, this is the Swedish […]
