Look, I'm no elitist or diehard, but one thing metal does better than most other genres is album art. Some of the most gruesome covert art can still manage to be meticulously detailed. A fine work of cover art can lend a great deal of insight into an album's contents. For example, the depiction here … Continue reading Necrot – Mortal Review
The Espresso: a quick review of Unverkalt's debut single "The Boundary" I have to give credit to fellow reviewer The Noise Blog for getting me to check out Greek post-rock/metallers Unverkalt. Being a new band, the group only released their debut single "The Boundary" a few weeks ago, and wow what a super impressive song … Continue reading The Espresso: Unverkalt
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

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

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
