REVIEW: The Lidocaine – Chicken Cage of HORROR
The Lidocaine – Chicken Cage of HORRORInverse Records I don\’t honestly know too much of what to think about this band. The 90\’s styled Alt-Punk album title drew me in, the promise of progressive got me curious. So, I suppose the overall package did its job of making me listen. The contents… well I suppose… Continue reading

REVIEW: Sinners Moon – Atlantis
Sinners Moon – AtlantisInverse Records There is no lack of Symphonic Metal. Thanks to the likes of Nightwish, Leaves Eyes, Within Temptation, Epica, and countless more, there is just about as many Symphonic Metal bands out there are as there is Pornography. Sadly, it takes a lot for any of them to gather the steam… Continue reading

REVIEW: Nailgun Massacre – Boned, Boxed and Buried
Nailgun Massacre – Boned, Boxed and BuriedXtreem Music You know, Gore-grind has really stole the aesthetic of Death Metal for me. Yes, I\’m aware most refer to it as \’Death\’ because its speculated that the band Death is where the genre originated but I\’m talking about the downtrodden angry and depraved bands that followed – stuff… Continue reading

REVIEW: Flummox – Phlummoxygen
Flummox – PhlummoxygenTridroid Records The day of schizophrenic Alternative-metal such as Mr. Bungle and early Red Hot Chili Peppers has long passed. To me, the entire craft was swallowed up by the fact that people generally find more complicated and obscure music harder to digest – oddly even more then most extreme genres. Personally, I… Continue reading

REVIEW: Ecferus – Prehistory
ECFERUS – PREHISTORYFragile Branch I\’m not afraid to admit that I own and have reviewed droves of heathenish material – and I\’ll keep doing it. Its not that I am personally an Atheist, follower of Satan, Pagan, or anything like that. Its just that, simply, I just like hearing alternate viewpoints on life – even… Continue reading

REVIEW: Astral Blood – Self Titled EP
ASTRAL BLOOD – ASTRAL BLOOD EP If you\’ve read my INFESTUM Review, you know that I love it when Black Metal steps out of its boundaries to do something new. And, contrary to popular belief – the rawness and complexities of the genre are far more flexible than one would think. Truth is, Black Metal… Continue reading

REVIEW: Keeper/Sea Bastard – 777/Astral Rebirth SPLIT
Splits are somewhat of a fascination to me, often I\’m introduced to two separate bands that feed off each others energy or even sometime they contribute to one joint idea. In this case, both KEEPER and SEA BASTARD do both – though, I\’m sure if these were two separate releases the content would be almost… Continue reading

REVIEW: INGURGITATING OBLIVION – Continuum of Absence
More often then not, I turn to WILLOWTIP when I want something new. This Pennsylvanian label often describes their releases as \’forward thinking metal\’ and often that\’s an accurate portrayal of the bands they sign. Your always bound to get something Death Metal or Grind-based but all of their bands seem to do something very… Continue reading

REVIEW: ENTRENCH – Violent Procreation
Holy crap, ENTRENCHED really is pissed! \’Violent Procreation\’ carries with it the subtlety of a thrashing and clawing animal caught in a trap. Violating listeners years with insane levels of thrash akin to none I\’ve really heard before. Its not Power Violence or anything like that, ENTRENCH simply encapsulates the power and forward intensity that Thrash… Continue reading

REVIEW: OLDE – I
If you\’ve heard anything about OLDE, its no doubt good. The band has already made a significant impact with \’I\’ and no doubt its roll has just begun, especially with the first full length being titled \’I\’ (obviously). So, if I sound like I\’m singing the same old tune as other publications – I probably… Continue reading
