Review: Psychic Hood – Warp Ritual (Full album, 2024) | Dungeon synth
Today we’re excited to bring you a wonderful dungeon synth project, Psychic Hood, and their brand new album, Warp Ritual! Surface level this appears to be anything but dungeon synth considering most of the tropes popular dungeon synth groups do. However, the moment the play is pressed Psychic Hood takes you there and you’re immediately […]
Review: VENUS-426 – Destruction is Your Religion (EP, 2024) | Noise
Whew, that was fast. And Loud. Our frequent guest Venus 426 decided to kick things up a notch for this release, or maybe sideways, by putting her usual atmospheric soundtrack-y noise on hold in favour of some furious grind noise. There is no better feeling for us here in the ABMN secret volcano base than […]

It’s blackened punk Sunday y’all! And to properly celebrate, we got the last work by one of the (less rare than what many people might think) young four-piece NY band Defenestrate, which presents themselves as students from the Suny Purchase College. They show to be staunchly antifascist so we can only be joyful to see […]
Review: Hexen House – Retributiones Maleficarum Mallei (Full album, 2024) | Black metal, death metal
Seeing Hexen House‘s photo which includes corpsepaint, candelabras, iron vambraces and so on you might be tempted to think it’s another band with a very traditional take on black metal and politics, but quickly you are confronted with messages that convey “total fucking war on impotent fascist scum” and “torch the values of western civilization“. […]
Review: Lammoth – Tales of Treachery (Full album, 2024) | Medieval black metal
We don’t know about you, but “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH” was the first thought some of us at ABMN had when we received the submission for today’s band, North Carolina’s Lammoth, which, in their own words, play “hobbit black metal”; after all, incorrigible nerds that we are, we have known that Lammoth is a region of Tolkien’s Middle-Earth […]
