Review: Veriarmo – Kuiske (Full album, 2024) | Symphonic metal
Living in 2024 we seem to be blurring rigid lines between various sub-genres of metal. Sure one could argue that it’s always been there and an ever-ongoing thing but people in the past have been careful in how they blur the lines and in today’s atmosphere it’s easier for a smaller band/ artist to gain […]

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 […]
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, […]
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′ […]
Review: Genital Shame – Chronic Illness Wish (Full album, 2024) |Experimental black metal
Genital Shame is the one-woman project of Erin Dawson from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Chronic Illness Wish is her first full-length album, after two eps released in 2023 and 2022. Although a young project, Genital Shame has entered the black metal scene with a bang, playing shows and creating noise about the project which has reached […]
Purgatorial – Harvesting Nightmares (Single, 2023) | Blackened death metal
Today, Purgatorial presented their song “Harvesting Nightmares“. Described by the band as “an unsettling track about not knowing when your time to pass will come“, the song keeps a crushing atmosphere throughout that lives up to its title. The wonderfully existential lyrics add to the piece as we are reminded of our mortality, and the […]
