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.

REVIEW: Altarage – Nihil

ALTARAGENIHILSENTIENT RUIN LABORATORIES Raw. That was my first impression when it came to listening to Altarage\’s \’Nihil\’ and that was only within the first few moments. This album is rough as hell! But, that really is a vague statement and, yeah, I guess it could be taken out of context; in a negative sense. So, let me… Continue reading

VINYL: SHINING (NOR) – One One One

I\’ve been a fan of SHINING (NOR) for a few years now. As expected, I sort of fell in love with their experimentation on BLACKJAZZ and then trailed my way back to their non-metal days. To say that SHINING (NOR) is typical is to say that Gasoline is nutritious and great with cereal. However, with… Continue reading
