Invultation – Feral Legion (Werewolf Metal)
You know, I’ve seen the werewolf theme used quite a bit in metal, in a variety of genres too. Sometimes it’s cheese, sometimes it’s sleaze, mostly, just please. Rarely does it offer a band a chance at greatness, it’s kind of too golden age to work as I’ve seen it mainly presented, but, well, […]

Body Void – Atrocity Machine (Physically Revolting Acid Metal)
This is like political, crusted, body horror sludge or something, or let’s just say acid metal. That’s the best I could come up with today, and thankfully I hit upon this in the emails because it came in a bit late. Got a few days late to scrunch it in there so let’s do […]

Sadistic Force – Midnight Assassin (Slasher Metal)
You know a band’s killer when they’ve only been around three years but sound like they’ve been around thirty. But, hey, also you can’t be riding that retro thing too hard, otherwise we just feel old. Do I want to feel nostalgic? Sure. But I want to feel young, I want to feel like […]

Seraphic Entombment – Sickness Particles Gleam (Pre-Cambrian Fetid Death Doom)
Angry angry angry! You guys are sure angry! But, hey, you’d be this angry if you dripped off the walls of a sewer like Seraphic Entombment did. That ooze sticking in the mortar poured probably before time itself? That’s Seraphic Entombment. The misshapen pre-Cambrian artefacts of life that crawled from the seas and died […]

MØAA – Jaywalker (Gloomy Dream Pop)
Been awhile since I got a sweet taste of something like this. Occasionally some gloom comes in, but it’s trite and ineffective. It doesn’t make me languid, it makes me mad, kid. Lol, sad, a pathetic intro… Anyway I don’t even remember how I happened upon the latest from MØAA but I did, and […]

Kontusion – S/T (Raw and Mutilated Death Punk)
Whelp, I died. Another Sentient Ruin smacker. I pretty much guessed that, though, without even scoping the label. Xeroxed cover from a rotted-on-the-insides dumpster nuclear fire? Yep, musical summary right there folks, another example of my “see that cover, this sounds like that” intro. Even better, though, is how the overlapping of lines makes […]

Noctomb S/T (Wait There’s More, Southern Blackened Sludge)
Hmm. Well. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a band as versatile as this in any genre. I also like that these guys are from Raleigh, NC, because the scene there has always been this weird mid-level thing for the underground. Not unusual, since it is a college domain, and the expected indie market […]

Abhorrency – Climax of Disgusting Impurities (Bestial Violation Blackened Death Metal)
Well get ready to consume this one at face fooking value. A multitude of upside-down crosses hide within a festering logo above an image that summarizes the album title below. What’s this one like? Well it’s a Climax of Disgusting Impurities! What else? Honestly though, the face on that child-like goat being is freaking […]

Flesher – Tales of Grotesque Demise (Soaky Bath Bomb Flogging Death Metal)
Ready for a lame analogy of an intro? This is like a soaky bomb in steaming water with candles to a fan of death metal. An album that relaxes for its familiarity and calms the mind of a death metal fan. “Ah, there it is, I remember it,” you say. For this phenomenon to […]

Luring – Triumphant Fall of the Malignant Christ (Phantasmal Atmospheric Black Metal)
Ahhhh breathe in that atmosphere. I’ve honed my tastes over the past few years and this is proof. Actually, make that a decade or longer. Fact is I receive so much stuff I’ve heard practically everything imaginable. And I’ve said it a number of times, black metal can rarely wake me up, let alone […]
