Luring – Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy (Shapeshifting Black Metal)
I don’t think I’ve been this proud of American black metal since, well, now I guess. Listen, though he had a few good tracks, I only owned a Leviathan shirt because the logo’s cool. We have cool logo here with Pennsylvania’s Luring, as well, but musically something much different. Something more profound, something more […]

Foul Black Rookeries (Modern Weird in Darkest Baltimore)
I was lucky enough to see David Simmons read, or rather perform, one of his short stories at VoidCon 2024 and was instantly impressed by his delivery and enthusiasm, but don’t let that grill fool you because underneath the shimmer is a twisted energy that will change your perception of reading entirely. While talking […]

Gigan – Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus (Technical Kaiju Death Metal)
I find it hard to believe there wasn’t another band named Gigan out there. The likely reason for this, outside of bands so minor they have 0 online presence, is likely anyone who thought of it quickly rethought the situation as “well, someone already picked that I bet,” leaving this Floridian death metal trio […]

Dungeon Crawl – Maze Controller (D&D Death Thrash)
This shit’s goddamn genius. Now that we’ve started with that, I have to keep it going so you understand. Can’t just jump into a campaign without some backstory. I’ve seen lost of fantasy themes tossed around in metal, especially the power variety, but few bands can give it any sort of real substance. Imagine […]

Pneuma Hagion – From Beyond (Texas Twang Blackened Death Metal)
Putting one’s name in another language, especially one of the original Holy Languages, is scary. I’m shaking already from Pneuma Hagion, whose usage of “holy spirit” as their name sounds actually threatening when placed into the Greek. And, daimn, you tossed in some fecking William Blake art on top of that? This is truly […]

Acid Mass – Worship (Death Biker Blackened Thrash)
Practically everything I could want out of blackened and or death and or speed thrash is present herein. Creepy skeleton, bleedy knife, big eyeball, skeleton priest, pentagram necklace, cobra, some other snakey, forbidden tomb (with spiderwebs), chains in logo; yes this is just the kind of stuff I’d like to Worship. Attitude can really […]

Squid Pisser – Dreams of Puke (Niche Bullied Child Powerviolence)
I wasn’t going to review this initially, but not because I didn’t like it. I did. The issue was I got the damn thing like a week after release, and I normally skip anything past release date except in rare cases. Here’s another one. Plus, most of what I got for review for this […]

Trog – Horrors Beyond (Devolved Horror Death Metal)
I don’t know what the hell that monster mess is on the cover of the first full-length from New Jersey’s Trog but I like it, a lot. Previously, and fairly recently, known under the name of “Troglorot” (whatever the hell that meant), Trog is mainly interested in death metal devolution, both musically and thematically. […]

Construct of Lethe – A Kindness Dealt in Venom (Psychologically Chaotic Death Metal)
Wow we got a lot going on in this one, and cool to see another Virginia band grace this site since it now gives me an excuse to creep on them in their hometown, which is not far from me. If I were to provide a one-word explanation of what to expect out of […]

Spiter – Enter the Gates of Fvcking Hell (Still True Vampyric Metalpunk)
Well, let’s see if the link to this one with the slightly altered title will make it through the censors lol. Because Spiter would most certainly not use a V in the place of a U. Since the lead is from Shitfucker, I mean, come on. However, though the laughs of that band are […]
