ALBUM REVIEW: The Bad Larrys – Hodads (Self-Released)
I hadn’t heard much about Phillie\’s The Bad Larrys when I first gave this impressive slab a spin apart from the fact that they had been dubbed “proto-punk” and “psych-surf” by their peers. Surf? Wow. That’s different. Hodads, however, while definitely incorporating the aforementioned elements totally transcends any well meant attempts at describing their crazy varied sound. It’s… Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: HAR – Visitation (Blood Harvest)
First off, Visitation’s intro is as creepy as they come. I’ve grown used to patiently waiting through some pretty lengthy prologues in my time but this gets to the point immediately. It features an instrument native to HAR’s homeland of Tel Aviv that while completely unknown to me, grabbed my attention straight away. It sounds… Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: REPULSIONE – Desecrating (Wooaaargh)
Quite literally, Repulsione scared me. I\’m no stranger to Grindcore, I actually own a few Grindcore releases myself, but after sliding on my headphones and expecting the same-old run-of-the-mill stuff – I was thrown off so badly by the fuzzed out Bass that it made me jump. And, that is a pretty good representation of… Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: The Dahmers – Creepiest Creep (Lovely Records)
If you are one that likes the Horror Punk Genre, The Dahmers is a band that made me want to dance while listening to them. Listening to them, I am definitely reminded of the Misfits. This being said, The Dahmers reminded me a lot of the energy of the Misfits. I have to say that… Continue reading

REVIEW: Towards Atlantis Lights – Dust of Aeons (Transcending Obscurity)
Powerfully emotional, Towards Atlantis Lights draws from historical moments and blends folk, doom, death, and black metal elements together in order to bring their story to life on Dust of Aeons. And, by story, I mean an epic spanning four tracks, one of which is a whopping 30 minutes (The Bunker of Life) and the… Continue reading

REVIEW: Shambles – Primitive Death Trance EP (Blood Harvest)
Since 1997, Thai grind core mainstays Shambles have continually put out brutal slabs of doom heavy demos (and even a full length release, 2016’s Realm of Darkness Shrine). With a particular emphasis on brutal, Shambles delivers yet another relentless offering in the form of Primitive Death Trance. As a four song EP, the album is… Continue reading

REVIEW: Lumnos – Ancient Shadows Of Saturn (Flowing Downward)
Over time, Black Metal has whipped back and forth with experimentation. A few years back, you\’d find all manner of genres crossing with it. You had no idea what to expect, at times you could get anything from techno-Black metal, Blackgaze, all the way to Pink Floyd-like progression, and even hip hop (New York\’s Romantic,… Continue reading
