Ah, grindcore! It’s always refreshing to have a barrage of short songs and barked vocals after some of our more usual long-form black metal menus. Today’s piece, however, is even more welcome than usual, for Ragum, our guests for this “beautiful” Monday, are a band from the city of Haifa in occupied Palestine/”Israel”, and outright […]

Review: Human Abyss – Death Obsessed (Full album, 2024) | Blackened death
Today we have a lot to cut through with the most recent addition to the channel: Berlin-based Human Abyss, and its newest album Death Obsessed. Although this quintet only goes back to 2020, it is almost entirely formed by experienced musicians who have played in bands like Spawn (death metal) or currently active No On […]
Review: Demon Sluice – Demo MMXXIV (Full demo, 2024) | Black metal, death metal
Today it feels like we have a treat for those of you who enjoy the more death metal-influenced side of black metal that we tend to get. And by treat and death metal we mean, this shit is so fucking on the nose for bestial black metal that it’s shocking that it isn’t a tag […]
Review: Through Mists – Prolific (Full EP, 2024) | Blackened death
Today’s album is Through Mist last release: ‘Prolific‘. Which, in their own words, bring a new breeze to their discography. Counting 4 songs for 27’28”, this album could be defined as an experimental blackened death metal album, which builds up intensity from the first and shortest track “The Ride” to the last and longest track “Prolific“, […]
Review: Purgatorial – “Doomed To Repeat” (Single PREMIERE, 2024) | Blackened death metal
Again we are premiering a new song by Purgatorial, just what the doctor ordered to keep us on the hook until we wait for an album to come, you fucking tease! We jest, of course, take your time, as long as the album keeps the quality of this song you’ll have no complaints from us, […]
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, […]
