Today we present a little synth project called inattentive apprentice and the name couldn’t be more matching. Coming straight from one of Germany’s oldest university towns, categorized by itself as dungeon gaze, these songs unite the fantastic and atmospheric soundscapes of dungeon synth with the harsh experiments of noise music making it, well, a kind […]

Review: Masochrist – Grimecode: DCLXVI (Full album, 2023) | Melodic death grind
Masochrist is what you expect from melodic death grind: the music you need to get up and go to work, the music that keeps your heart beating, the music that will scare your parents, your colleagues, or any right-minded person. With 18 songs for almost 17 minutes, this album keeps a very high standard of […]
Wandering Oak – Resilience (Full album, 2024) | Progressive, folk
Sometimes as a fan of metal, we may find ourselves in an indecisive mood about the kind of metal we want to listen to. Should we throw on some folk metal? Maybe some classic heavy metal? Nah, maybe some black metal? The indecisiveness can be incredibly frustrating. Well, if you’re in that kind of mood, […]
Jute Gyte – Krun Macula’ (Full album, 2023) | Ambient
So, when you have a band known for their unique take on black metal like Jute Gyte, with their legendary microtonal progressive output, why would you choose their rare ambient release to feature? Well, why not, after all their black metal releases are already acknowledged as genre classics, plus, it’s named after an equatorial dark […]
Review: Malevich – “Inalienable” (Track, 2024) | Blackened grind
In the turn to spring for the northern hemisphere, some parts of the world are bracing for oppressively thick humidity that makes the air all heavy and us sluggish. To bring this sort of greeting to us we have a new pounding, riffing, thick atmosphere single called Inalienable by the Atlanta, Georgia band, Malevich. You’re […]
Paranormal Arson – “Hook, line, sinker” (Single, 2024) | Death metal
Paranormal Arson is probably not what people expect when they see their latest single’s cover, but the fact they catch you unawares when their brutal punky death metal kicks in is part of the fun. Just one track sadly, but it’s a brutal one, definitely something to get the blood running, metaphorically AND literally. So, […]
Ulltisol – “This Church” (Official video clip, 2024) | Entheogenic black metal
Some people complain that black metal has become “too complicated” and you get all sorts of sounds nowadays that sound nothing like the genre’s founders, but you know what, for us, it’s a feature, not a bug. You know how we like our black metal? Not boring. So if Ultisol rubs you the wrong way […]
Review: Fatal – Unburned (Full album, 2024) | Black metal, DSBM
Missing a bit of angst and bitterness this Sunday? Worry not, we got you covered. From doomy passages to frantic blast beats, Unburned can be your companion today offering a prime expression of fiery rage with an excellent addition of melancholy, hopelessness and sharply well-written lyrics against the duality of religion and its rule, alongside […]
Review: Nocthun – Rest In Flames (Full album , 2024) | Black metal
Nocthun self-describes as apocalyptic antifascist metal and it pretty much sets the mood for Rest in Flames, their new album. This 48-minute album starts slowly with a first track starting with spoken text and low-volume instruments before being quickly overflowed by raging guitars and drums, in a mix of death metal guitar riffs, and blast […]
Review: Convulsing – Perdurance (Full album, 2024) | Prog death metal
There are a lot of bands and musicians in the style of dissonant, technical or avant-garde death/black metal that can create interesting and original textures, but not many that can powerfully grab your attention and create an everlasting impression like Australia’s one man death metal powerhouse Convulsing. Having already delivered two acclaimed albums in 2016′ […]
