הרשימה השחורה | The Black List | القائمة السوداء (Compilation, 2024)
Of COURSE, we’d do a post on October 7th about the colonialist war Israel is leading in the Middle East against the Palestinians, the Lebanese, and basically everyone who’s not white and fascist, what did you expect? We’re ANTIFASCIST, being anti-Zionist is part of that for anyone who’s serious – and that’s really just a […]

Review: Ragum – ‘Beyouv’ (Full album, 2024) | Grindcore
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 […]
