Hoc Est Bellum – Filth Majesty (Blackened Death Noise)
I didn’t really feel like thinking this week. We’re already halfway through, and that could change, but before it does I need to show you all how to lay out the smash with pure instinct. Finland’s Hoc Est Bellum (Latin for “This is War”) are another gem to add to the ever-growing list of […]

Barbaric Oath – Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance (Blackened Eldritch Fantasy Metal)
I’ve recently been delving into medieval wargaming, and what more of a perfect soundtrack for slaying mounted knights with halberds than this absolute trebuchet to the face that is Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance by what should become one of the greatest bands of the eldritch approach, Barbaric Oath! Enter the battlefield! If deficient in a […]

Upon the Altar – Profanation’s Vapor (Battalious Blackened Death Metal)
I usually think I’m prepared to withstand any battering after all these years listening to stuff like this, but Poland’s Upon the Altar had other plans for my mind this week (and my body). In spite of a fairly short career, not including other projects they’ve all been involved in, this trio have been […]

Lugubrious Garment – Demo MMXXV (Atavistic Death Metal)
I’m so proud of myself that I got to use the word ‘lugubrious’ finally. I actually didn’t even know it was a word until this gem oozed itself up to the surface of the promo swamp. A side project of the dejected Italian insanity machine Cosmic Putrefaction (Gabriele Gramaglia), Lugubrious Garment was conceived as […]

Warslaughter – Exacerbación (Excrement Covered Death Metal)
After that last review of the latest full-length from Morbyda, here we have another one that is judged easily by its cover. I like doing that, because good art tells a story, and when it tells a story as indeterminate, twisted, and dark as this one, fear level rises. Add to that drippy album […]

Genocidal Rites – Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law (Barbaric Bestial Black Metal of Death)
I try my best to balance out labels I review, but, damn it, some of them are just so good I can’t but review whatever they send me. How many reviews for Hells Headbangers have I done so far? I don’t even know, but it’s probably embarrassing. Even more revealing (laying myself bare here), […]

Onslaught Kommand – Malignancy (Blackened Chilean War Grind)
Almost two years ago I reviewed the demo by Chile’s Onslaught Kommand, and even before I remembered their Nunslaughterish logo I knew by the cover of Malignancy, with its more brutal and visceral approach to gore, I was going to be slewn asunder. I like the hand saw there too, very nice, because whatever […]

Primitive Warfare – Extinction Protocol (State of Nature War Metal)
Okay, this might be the first time I’ve said this, but more metal bands need to use World War I for aesthetic purposes. Not what you’re thinking, I mean that gritty, water-soaked, rat-nibbled, barbed wire strangulation kind of aesthetic. Not the aesthetic of “war is hell,” like so many have attempted, but the aesthetic […]

Left Cross – Upon Desecrated Altars (Nasty, Brutish, and Short War Metal)
Here’s a band I knew nothing about until I came across this in the promos. At first I thought it was some bro metal band obsessed with punching (see their name), and then I found out it was actually murderous war metal (redundant, I know) band from Richmond, Virginia, which is quite close to […]

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, […]
