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: 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: Vargrav – Netherstorm (Werewolf Records)
Hyvinkaa, Finland’s Vargrav have far exceeded the trappings of your average black metal act. Brilliantly masterminded by multi-instrumentalist, V-KhaoZ, Netherstorm is quickly proving to be a crucial piece of Finnish metal history. With its precise execution and terrifying undertones, this outstanding debut appears to have but one missive on its agenda-Finnish Black Metal Supremacy. Adorned… Continue reading

INTERVIEW: The Necrosexual of Necrosexual
Photo by Josh Street Design [K] Necrosexual is completely new to me, and I’m loving GRIM 1. For a newer fan, who’s not too familiar (like me), can you tell me a little about how this whole band/project came together? GRIM 1 is my first musical offering. I\’ve brought the fury as a comedy performer,… Continue reading

REVIEW: Midmourner – Adorned in Fear and Error EP
Midmourner is a Alabama band that decided sludge was the way to go, and I can get behind that. If I had to guess, the group has a bit of experience with the genre. The band is just too direct with it\’s subgenre focus for it to be coincidental. With other bands, you usually get… Continue reading

REVIEW: Ancst – Ghosts of the Timeless Void
Way back, I had the chance to review Ancst\’s Compilation \’In Turmoil\’ and, though Direnotes was certainly in it\’s infancy then, I clearly remember Ancst having a vastly different sound. In fact, I believe I even compared it to black metal and blackgaze. Now, certainly there are some faint hints of that between the fine… Continue reading

REVIEW: Coffin Torture – Dismal Planet
A lot of bands make some hefty promises, but it isn\’t too often that they fully pull through. Coffin Torture is a duo that specializes in gritty grime-ridden sludge; sounds so bleak and filthy, you\’ll feel the need to take a bath afterwards. It\’s almost terrifying to think that their newest album, Dismal Planet, is… Continue reading

REVIEW: Mortiferum – Altar of Decay (Demo CD)
MORTIFERUMALTAR OF DECAYBLOOD HARVEST RECORDSIt\’s Demo time again, whereas a band is actually brave enough to put out something of theirs without running it through the wringer. This time Mortiferum is up, \’cause they think they got the chops to drop a Demo as a CD with a label and everything. Brave, I tell you.… Continue reading

REVIEW: The Projectionist – The GallowForest Eulogy
THE PROJECTIONISTTHE GALLOWFOREST EULOGYAPPALACHAIN NOISE RECORDS & TRUE PLAGUE RECORDS I try my best to give every band or project a fair chance, but there are times when I just can\’t find much to salvage from a particularly fetid attempt. So, as you can probably gather, The Projectionist is a disaster – even though it all… Continue reading

REVIEW: Pyromancer – Demo MMXV
PYROMANCER DEMO MMXV GODZ OV WAR I don\’t usually judge a band, project, or artist by the quality of their demo. To me, a demo usually is the absolute base version of their work -a musical doodle, so to speak- and, as such, its not always fair to judge something that might change drastically over… Continue reading
