Battle Born – Blood, Fire, Magic and Steel (Fantasy Power Metal of the Fantastical Kind)
It seems I only review power metal when the band has like a quadshmillion fans. I try not to, and I’m probably wrong, but maybe it’s true. Well, whatever, though I prefer bands with lower exposure there’s a reason a fan count gets that high, and it’s not vapidity. Sometimes fans are just correct. […]

Undead – Putrefactio (Nu-Death Metal, Actually Not Just Kidding)
This is a good example of a band that takes itself way too seriously in group photos, but once you listen to it you say “damn it to hell if you don’t deserve to act that way.” Light corpse paint, scary faces, grim stares, leaning (gasp) towards nu-metal aesthetic, I mean come on! Should […]

Qrixkuor – Zoetrope (Occult Death Metal for Chaotic Connoisseurs)
I see one long track as an album or EP and I’m like yeah this shit’s going to have something to say. And yes, Qrixkuor is such a band and this is such an album, or rather EP. More of an experience perhaps, or just a long ass song even, Zoetrope is a spinning […]

Amaltheia – S/T (Straight Outta Nowhere Dissonant Black Metal)
Boy this was a tough week for promos in the sense that I received a shit ton of them over the past month. Most of those were easy to scrap because of crud art or blah sound, but a particularly fine selection came from Polish powerhouse Godz Ov War Productions. Unfortunately I can only […]

Last Night in Soho (Most Overhyped Film of 2021)
When the patron saint of gimmicky editing announced a giallo-inspired horror movie, film bros collectively squealed. Following prestige festival screenings, Last Night in Soho opened wide in the U.S. just in time for Halloween. The good news: Edgar Wright has reined in his showy style. The bad news: the film wants to be a […]

Lvcifyre – The Broken Seal (Monolithic Apocalyptic Serpent Metal)
Phew now here is something solid. I mean, I expect that out of the recent vanguard of English metal freaks, but still here’s another to add to the slowly-growing horde. Lvcifyre have been melting death metal into their own weapon for over a decade now, but their releases have been more sporadic and careful […]

Pupil Slicer – Mirrors (Powerviolence Mathcore and Grind with a Purpose)
Ah so glad I received this so everyone can STFU that I don’t review music of this type. I just rarely get the good stuff. How many times do I have to say that? I guess every time since people tend to stop here once in their life for that one thing they heard […]
chaotic death metal \ England \ Karmazid \ Rat King Records \ United Kingdom
Carcinoma – Labascation (Chaotic Blackened Death Swirl)
Man sometimes I feel like this face here. All melty and swirly and shit. I should be more specific in saying I want to feel like this face here. I’m not there yet, I need something to bring the transformation to fruition, and Carcinoma should be able to deliver if only for the fact […]

Oppress – No. Pity. (Repugnant Feast on My Loins Ambient Black Metal)
Well here’s one that looks dumb if you crop the art the right way (go back to main page). Jesus lady face so sad? Oh, and she’s, oh… Props for the Aubrey Beardsley look, it’s for sure something most people will miss, but now that we’ve got past the cover how fare the tunes? […]

Eternal Rot – Putridarium (Bowel Disgorging Groove Death)
Oh man what a filthy groove. Stuff like this is hard to hate. Downright impossible in most cases. Or, at least in the case of Eternal Rot it is truth to speak as such. I’ve heard these guys before but I can’t remember what led me to pass on the review. Either I got […]
