While the band Turkey Vulture are experienced veterans of the scene, having been involved in a plethora of other projects, there's something youthful and refreshing about their approach on their latest EP Time To Pay. Sure, some of it could be attributed to the sick Satan's¹ high school notebook style cover art, but it mostly … Continue reading Turkey Vulture – Time To Pay Review
Genre tags can be a real crapshoot when writing reviews. For example, simply calling a record stoner rock may do a disservice to any band who isn't just a Kyuss or Sabbath clone. Throwing the prog label around may be an instant "no" for some readers. Subgenres like death metal and black metal have branched … Continue reading Drainbow – The Tower of Flints Review
While a good portion of my reviews lean toward the fuzzy and riff-laden corner of the rock/metal spectrum, I don't think I've actually covered a straight-up hard rock album yet. Well not until now anyways. Hailing from Reno, Nevada, Kanawha barrelled their way past the armed guards of Burnt Coffee HQ to present us with … Continue reading Kanawha – The Sky Was The First To Fall Review
The Espresso: a quick review of Bitch Falcon's new single "Gaslight" Irish dream-grunge trio Bitch Falcon have just released a new single! If that string of words piqued your interest as much as it did mine when I came across this in Burnt Coffee Inc.'s virtual mailroom, then you're in for a treat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdfnhNhseY0 I … Continue reading The Espresso: Bitch Falcon
If you've been following us since we first established Burnt Coffee Inc. about a year ago, you may already be familiar with the name Egor Lappo. The man's release schedule is incredibly consistent. His debut album Way Without Light came out in July 2018, followed by his second album Azimuth (which we reviewed) in August … Continue reading Egor Lappo – Make the Sun Shine More EP Review
While I've spent much of this time stuck at home listening to great new music, I've also spent some time watching complete trash TV. A recent favorite of mine is the ridiculously stupid yet ridiculously entertaining Ancient Aliens. I sort of knew what I was getting into when pressing play, but I didn't know my … Continue reading Xibalba – Años en Infierno Review
A few weeks ago Ancient Hand posed this question on Instagram: "Have any of you had THAT album hit you this year? Y'know that album you hear and know it's going to be a favorite right away?" Up until now, my answer to that would be "no." Don't get me wrong, 2020 has been a … Continue reading Lesser Glow – Nullity Review
At this point, it's no longer a hot take to say that nerd culture has gotten out of hand. I imagine in thousands of years when the Earth starts to resemble Mars, the only remaining trace of human life will be an open grave of deep-cut Funko Pops. That being said, I am a huge … Continue reading Temnein – Tales: Of Humanity and Greed Review
Hey do you guys remember that Kanye album last year? You know, the shitty one that a bunch of old people strained really hard to enjoy? Well what if it was a powerviolence album that was 4 minutes shorter, had better politics, and - most importantly - was actually good? That album would be Satan … Continue reading ACxDC – Satan Is King Review
With the despairing state of the world at the moment, you would think this metalhead would convert to poptimism to maintain some sense of sanity. And to give poptimists their due credit, 2020 has been a pretty great year for pop music so far. But alas, I find myself delving further into the worlds of … Continue reading Foretoken – Ruin Review
