Sonic Poison- Eruption (Album Review) Jan. 26, 2023

Eruption
by Sonic Poison

Sonic Poison seems like an appropriate name for a band thats trying to hit listeners with as much noise, grime, and speed as they can, and thats exactly what makes their debut full-length Eruption so appealing throughout its brief twenty-to minute run time. Despite this being the first long play fro...

Wuodan’s Wunde- Es glimmt empor aus ewger Nacht (Album Review) Jan. 25, 2023

Es glimmt empor aus ewger Nacht
by Wuodan's Wunde

The rawer and lo-fi side of black metal has a lot to offer for those willing to dive beneath the layers of noise and murkier, sometimes washed-out layers. Over the past two decades there have been plenty of bands exploring the harsher and atmospheric side of the genre that had some real substance be...

Anachronism- Meanders (Album Review) Jan. 24, 2023

Meanders
by Anachronism

Switzerlands Anachronism started off more on the technical side of the death metal spectrum back in 2009, but over time theyve transformed into something much closer to the progressive and dissonant side.

Grief Circle- Weightless (Album Review) Jan. 18, 2023

Weightless
by Grief Circle

Back in 2021 I reviewed the third album from Polish post metal band Moanaa and found it to be one of the highlights of that year thanks to its compact and strong songwriting. Imagine my surprise to discover that at some point in 2022 Moanaa had gone on an indefinite hold, with its members continuing...

Slegest- Avstand (Album Review) Jan. 17, 2023

Avstand
by Slegest

Since their formation in 2010, Norways Slegest has fused together black metals aggressive and icy exterior with elements of heavy metal, doom, and rock n roll.

Microwaves- Discomfiture Atlas (Album Review) Jan. 13, 2023

Discomfiture Atlas
by Microwaves

Fans of noise rock and no wave may have come across Pittsburghs Microwaves at some point, as the group has been churning out weird and abrasive material for the better part of two decades now. My first exposure to them was a live show around a decade ago, which led me to dive into 2006s Contagion ...

Iggy Pop- Every Loser (Album Review) Jan. 12, 2023

Both groups formed in 2018 and put out a debut in 2021, though Malignant Altar arguably got a bit more trac...

Sweet Cobra- Threes (Album Review) Jan. 9, 2023

Threes
by Sweet Cobra

Now in their second decade of existence, Chicagos Sweet Cobra feels like the definition of an under the radar band, as they touch upon a lot of the styles fans of heavy music love but havent received the same visibility. When I first encountered them on their sophomore effort Forever back in 2007, t...

Satanic Warmaster- Aamongandr (Album Review) Jan. 5, 2023

Aamongandr
