Ritual Suicide – Nocturnal Haematolagnia (I Thought Those Guys Broke Up Raw Black Metal)

  I thought those guys broke up? Ritual Suicide most certainly did call it the end in 2019, so what have we here in October 2020? Nocturnal Haematolagnia was finished before the band’s demise and we needed one last dose of this crazy Ukrainian black metal vampire attack before we called it quits, right? Perhaps, […]

Hell:On – Once Upon a Chaos…

Experimentation is occasionally a path of ruin, irrespective of history and skill, a choice often made for the wrong reasons, or even when made for the right reasons it leads to abject failure.  It’s a dangerous path, fraught with danger, covered in brambles leading up to steep cliffs where a single foothold means either progression […]

Odradek Room: Bardo. Relative reality

No no no, we didn’t improperly write the title, that’s how it appears verbatim on the album cover, so give us a break.  We don’t correct grammar and syntax errors of bands if they’re being “artistic” for us.  Especially if they assist us with their knowledge, explaining the meaning of the Tibetan word ‘bardo’ on which […]

Zgard: Reclusion

Think about the trip this one took, it’s kind of like the album art.  Coming from the cold wastes of the Ukraine, all the way to little old us.  Think how people communicated a hundred years ago, what will they do a hundred from now?  And why in the hell are we wasting your time […]
