ALBUM REVIEW: Vaginal Mutilation – Self-Titled EP (Old Lion Recordings)
There comes a time when your average metal head makes the bold decision to take a break from all their Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and so forth. It\’s all great stuff, no doubt, but the genre is so vast and diverse that you can\’t just lean back on the classics. So, why not dig… 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

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: Iperyt – The Patchwork Gehinnom (Pagan Records)
A strange mixture of Black, Death, and Industrial metal; Iperyt is a five person group from Poland- with names like People Hater, Hellhound, Black Messiah, Shocker and… Vincent (of whom, I\’m thoroughly convinced is most likely a hardcore MF who doesn\’t need no nickname), I couldn\’t have hoped to guess. But, that doesn\’t matter. What… Continue reading

REVIEW: Haapoja / Dephosphorus Split
HAAPOJA / DEPHOSPHORUS SPLIT Handshake Inc. To me, splits are monumental and still very new – little brother to the mighty Compilation. I love the idea of two or three bands coming together, occasionally feeding off each others creativity and sharing their fan-base for crisscrossing exposure. Now, I\’m no stranger to the stylistics of self-professed… Continue reading

REVIEW: WARFUCK – Neantification
Band: WARFUCK Album: Neantification Genre: Experimental Grind-core Label: EveryDayHate Records I\’m not usually the greatest fan of Grind-core, the music I can dig but the vocals most-times ruin it for me – it all feels like a vehicle to bring home a message of hate or political uprising – whatever. Though, occasionally there is a band… Continue reading

REVIEW: Siftercide \’Self Titled\’
It isn\’t often that a band as completely insane as Siftercide reminds me of Free-form Jazz. But, I happen to feel that the \’who knows whats next\’ nature of the band almost allows it to act as a sort of Extremity to its equally unpredictable cousin. Though the real question at hand is if it… Continue reading
