Cemetery Piss – Rest In Piss

As if the name, cover art, AND label weren’t enough to convey exactly what this sounds like then here’s a bit of extra help for you.
“Rest in Piss” is a rusty nail coated in fuming sulfuric acid being driven through the base of your spine, pinning you in bloody agony to a rotted wooden stake [...]

Soluthus – Ritual of the Horned Skull

Soluthus contacted me a while back about a potential review for their EP, Ritual of the Horned Skull, and it’s been in my “commonly played” pile for weeks and now I can finally get the damn review done. Soluthus are yet another underground doom death metal band to emerge from the frozen depths of [...]

Strikemaster – Vicious Nightmare

Leave it to the Riddick brothers to come up with a baddass label and cover art!!!! The latest CD from Metal Hit are serious spine snappers Strikemaster! No fucking joke, Strikemaster is not for the weak so if you have any sort of heart condition, anxiety or seizure disorder or are scared of acquiring one [...]

Abazagorath – Abazagorath

Here’s a USBM band that carries the black flame of traditional black metal, full of darkness, melody, and stormy atmospheres like an official occult Olympic Torch out from the depths of somewhere unknown for the last five years to reap new violent metal glories with their S/T EP.
Unlike their prior slaughtering releases ( I do [...]

Nattfog – Mustan Auringon Riitti

Hammer of Hate strikes again with a strong Finnish black metal debut by Nattfog. Maybe it’s my personal bias toward Finnish black metal, but I somehow knew that I’d like this one before even giving it a listen and yet it still impaled with its melodic Nordic warrior spirit and raw but refined black metal [...]

Profanatica – Sickened by Holy Host

Nothing brings me as much lascivious joy as a Profanatica release. I have no idea why, but I’m guessing that it’s that petrified cum crusted black death vermin that crawls out from a dismantled, desecrated, and long dead convent stalwarts shriveled vulva that makes most “normal” folks vomit and tremble in disgust that amuses me [...]

Svartsyn – The True Legend

Svartsyn are one of those triumphant and long running black metal cults that never seem to wane to lame trends or flatten with time, and with this re-release of The True Legend, this album is not only serious inferno of melodic and solid black metal, but it is a slightly modified and improved upon version [...]

Alastor – Demon Attack

This Portuguese label is one of the coolest finds I’ve had in years! They either re-issue classic and essential material like Bleeding Fist’s Devil’s Ferox, or release limited runs of brutal shit like Devastator’s Conjuring Evil, or bring to light the venomous and vulgar sounds from the caverns of the Portuguese metal underground (all aggressive [...]

Devastator – Conjuring Evil

Now we see the passing of the (long stolen) winter festival vulgarly dubbed as Christmas, and now talk of ways for “ringing” in the New Year, or as I say “wringing” as I recommend doing so by grasping it firmly by the throat and tightening while blasting this bastardized early Sodom blackened thrash trash!!!! Regardless [...]

EchO – Devoid of Illusions

Here comes another band whose sound completely redefines melodic, dark metal and to give you a glimpse at what to expect, here’s a hint: although EchO is an Italian band, they feature Greg Chandler (Esoteric) as a guest vocalist on the closer “Sounds From Out Of Space” and he also produced (BadMoodMan Music). So, dark/doom death [...]
