Vuohi / Gasmask Violence

After doing a review of their The Rising Era Of Goat, the guys in VUOHI mailed me a copy of their latest offering Hatred United. The album is a split with fellow Finlanders GASMASK VIOLENCE that was released in 2011. Evenly broken up, the first four tracks are from GASMASK VIOLENCE and last four are [...]

Aquelarre Zine

Summoned from black pits of swirling and chaotic hatred, Aquelarre Zine is an iron-fist in the face of non-believers who are quick to cry that print is dead while blogging about nothing on their iPad.
Issue 12 is nothing less than what has come to be expected from this Peruvian legend. Large, high quality pages with [...]

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 [...]

High on Fire – De Vermis Mysteriis

Scenario: At birth, Jesus actually comes into the world with a twin, who is basically stillborn. The catch is (and it’s really a pretty big one) that the deceased twin can now, in a sense, travel through time and see things through the eyes of his ancestors. He gulps down (thanks to a dude named [...]

ISVIND – DARK WATERS STIR

It is truly a great day for mankind indeed. We finally get a proper, and very classy, re-release of one of Norwegian black metal’s finest hours. Having been out of print since its release in 1996 on Solistitium Records (R.I.P.), this was one of those albums that was nothing short of legendary to the point [...]

IMPIETY – Ravage and Conquer

Singapore’s war mongers IMPIETY have set Ravage and Conquer as the title for their newest album. The 7 new tracks and a cover of BATHORY’s “Sacrifice” make up the 48 plus minutes of this Blackened Death Metal slab of sickness. These guys have to be one of the hardest working bands today with their relentless [...]

Revenge – Scum. Collapse. Eradication

Out of the ashes of Conqueror came Revenge at the turn of the century, and each subsequent release has been some of the most bellicose and savage blackdeath with a raw and devastating feel totally unique to the band. War-obsessed and completely misanthropic in nature, the band is now solely spearheaded by J. Read with Vermin of [...]

Armageddon – Necromantic Celebration

In my honest opinion, if it’s on Emanes Metal then it’s already a safe and secure metal venture, but a classic thrash styled band with black metal influences that’s a solo act from a man with allegiances to such prominent acts as Lord, Unholy War, and Excruciate 666, this I HAD to hear and it’s [...]

ROSS BAY CULT DOUBLE FEATURE

We recently received a double-whammy from Canada’s Ross Bay Cult scene, showcasing some of the most extreme blackdeath bands from British Columbia and also across the pond. For the uninitiated, this long-running horde of maniacs are purveyors of only the darkest, utterly bestial, and most brutal assaults known to man. For the initiated, these two releases will do nothing [...]

Goatwhore – Blood for the Master

“Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, for he has kept it in business all these years.” – Anton LaVey, The Satanic Bible

It seems to me that LaVey succeeded in hitting the proverbial nail squarely on the head with the above statement. The so-called “good guys” can bitch and moan [...]
