Barren Path – Grieving (Traumatic Deathgrind with Brevity)

  See that? That’s a band from Japan. What’s that mean? Guaranteed goodness. I mean they’re already killing it with the cover, but musically Barren Path is more intuitive than expected. Meaning, their sense of style is impeccable, and possibly inborn. Its deathgrind, of course, so it’s going to be intense, hopefully punishing, and if […]

Gigan – Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus (Technical Kaiju Death Metal)

  I find it hard to believe there wasn’t another band named Gigan out there.

I mean jeez every […]

Slugdge – Esoteric Malacology (Don’t Trick Me Please)

I’ve got a great idea for a horror film title, get this: When Things Get Pretentious. It’s only going to scare true underground junkies (autocrats if you forgot the term), but it will be absolutely terrifying. You are about to witness, a film, about how the best and most cutting-edge of sounds can become, horribly pompous. That can […]
