Lago – Vigil (Isolating Experimental Death Metal)
Well, you know, I sometimes fancy myself a hideous shade of human existence, or at least the child of such beings, and Lago, who hail from the United States, are perfectly ready to fulfill my desires to identify as other to such a severe degree I’m unrecognizable as something alive. I’ve decided from now […]

Melting Rot – Infatuation with Premeditation (Murderous Death Grind)
When I hear bands open up the pork factory from track one (vocals is what I’m saying), I normally zone out fast and then tune out faster. But some bands know how to work classic deliveries in ways that just goddamn work and we can’t let the complaints remain. That’s not so simple with […]

VOIDHÄMMER – Noxious Emissions (Toxic Crust Metal)
With the start of the new year, it makes the most sense to start things vile. Why wait for things to get worse? Let’s make it so. There have been a number of bands of the type you’ll find here, dealing out crude, metal brutality, sometimes with a distorted bang, at others with aggression […]

Veilburner – Longing for Triumph, Reeking of Tragedy (Gnostic Nihilistic Experimental Black Metal)
You think that everything’s been done until you come across an act like Pennsylvania’s Veilburner and realize the space left to create new forms in any genre is actually infinite. People forget, though set patterns exist and keep us safe at night so we can latch on to our dwindling mortality, we need variation […]

Dwelling Below – Wearisome Guardians (Dimensional Death Doom)
Dwelling Below, a heretofore criminally ignored death doom act from the United States, have carved a space for themselves in a genre known primarily for crushing atmosphere, but yet which can often lead to plodding that wearies the listener to the point of disgust. Thus perhaps calling this one Wearisome Guardians was a bad […]

Thaumaturgy – Pestilential Hymns (Pestilential Death Metal)
I don’t believe I had heard of Thaumaturgy before this one, so one can assume they were something of a whisper in the community, which at this point returns as a virulent plague. Their latest here, Pestilential Hymns, is a masterful, one-man (now apparently three) descent into a suffocating miasma of blackened death metal. […]

Evoken – Mendacium (Existential Funeral Doom)
Huh, what do you know? I didn’t think a band from the US could pull off something like this, but it looks like the winds of unearthly spirits are finally sweeping the lands, or at least the east coast as this band’s from New Jersey. New Jersey? Holy this this is a miracle, and […]

Castle Rat – The Bestiary (Truly Great Fantasy Doom)
I was never a fan of Castle Rat before and after the hype. This wasn’t to say I didn’t enjoy what they did, I just didn’t see the greatness, or rather no one else noticed the greatness wasn’t there yet. We all need to be honest about that. Great style, great concepts, great ability, […]

Motherless – Do You Feel Safe? (Traumatic Doom Punk)
Been craving something with punk attitude recently, and thankfully this one came in the promo set some weeks ago. I’ve been through probably 15 times since then. Chicago’s Motherless has a penchant for answering their own questions. The immediate answer to Do You Feel Safe? is a rather quick “no,” taking the paranoia of […]

Plasmodulated – An Ocean ov Putrid, Stinky, Vile, Disgusting Hell (Human Filth Metal for the New Florida)
Let the official proclamation hereby be stated: the Florida death metal scene may be undergoing a renaissance. Death metal in the region has simmered with a familiar, if potent, consistency for years now, trapped in the amber of its 1990s progressive death metal glory. And while some may raise fists in my presence, the […]
