Your No. 1 Source For Extreme And Atmospheric Music And Film.

Author George Caley

My introduction to Metal and all things alternative came at the age of 11. I was already beginning to enjoy music and was soon pointed in the direction of Iron Maiden and Motorhead. A love of music developed from here delving into all manner of genres over the years as well as regularly attending gigs. By the time I was 16 I moved onto the heavier side of the Metallic die. It was at this point that I also wanted to give something back to the music world, I'd already failed at playing an instrument and so looked to reviewing. I started a YouTube channel in 2010 under the name ThatzNOTmetaL and over the next 5 years created a wealth of content, my music taste however was still expanding. After numerous changes and so forth I diversified into written media via a short lived e-zine called Eargore which in 2016 became a blog called Gore Crazy. Over the years I've learnt a lot about music and reviewing in general, so really I've now got my wish to give something back to the world of music that I adore.

Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns (Transcending Obscurity)

Black Metal, the genre that’s so ‘trve’ it’s false. I jest but really on reflection as you get older you realise just how pathetic the Norwegian scene was. Of course I love the music but the individuals within, just a… Continue Reading →

Morta Skuld – Suffer For Nothing (Peaceville)

There are some bands who I view as too trve for your average festival line up and Morta Skuld are one of them. They’re the sort of artist you’d find on a Maryland Deathfest or OEF line up and those… Continue Reading →

Lörd Matzigkeitus – Drown (Moribund)

You’re probably not really interested in my personal life but here goes. Outside of reviewing for the wonderful Ave Noctum I also co-host a show on TotalRock called Dark Tryal (check it out). On there me and my friend the… Continue Reading →

Crépuscule D’Hiver – Par-Delà Noireglaces Et Brumes-Sinistres (LADLO)

Black Metal kind of makes me laugh, probably more so than any other genre. It tries super hard to be scary and evil and is actually just a bunch of nerds. Don’t get me wrong I’m a total nerd myself… Continue Reading →

Carnation – Where Death Lies (Season Of Mist)

Death Metal blah blah blah, I love it blah blah, you all know the story by now! Drench me in putrid innards and destroy me with thunderous guttural vocals, is that too much to ask? Sometimes yes, a lot of… Continue Reading →

Aborted Fetus – Pyramids Of Damnation (Comatose)

All hail the gods of old! I cry as I read through and research occult material from LaVey to Crowley and beyond. I love it all, it’s fascinating, and a lot of it tends to get rooted in ancient religions… Continue Reading →

Skeletal Remains – The Entombment Of Chaos (Century Media)

Every now and then a band comes along who completely shake the scene. Today we look at a band taking the Death Metal world by storm, but more of them in a moment. Essentially our band today are nothing new,… Continue Reading →

Persekutor – Permanent Winter (Svart)

I’m not as kvlt as I used to be, and frankly I’m pretty alright with that. Music on a personal level is an evolution, sometimes we only care about what is ‘real’ and ‘trve’ and other times we don’t care… Continue Reading →

Exist – Egoiista (Prosthetic)

I’m such a nerd, and I’ve only leaned into it more and more as my life has gone on. I literally couldn’t care less what people think of me now, long gone is the bullied kid in high school, long… Continue Reading →

Cultus Profano – Accursed Possession (Debemur Morti)

Being a reviewer is often times somewhat masochistic, we’ll put ourselves in positions that will likely cause us audible horror. The band who we speak of today, Cultus Profano are somewhere in the middle of that for me. Their debut… Continue Reading →

The Projectionist – Under The Cruel Glow Of Terror (Moribund)

You’ve got to be pretty bold to set out and just go ‘Black Metal Opera’, I mean it sounds great to me and when you think of the likes of Dimmu Borgir or Totengeflüster you can see that sort of… Continue Reading →

Precambrian – Tectonics (Primitive Reaction)

Kaboom! That, the sound of the thunderous volcanic explosion that gives birth to the magnificent geode! As Martin Prince once said, he also urged that his geode must be acknowledged. Alas my love of the Simpsons should probably be reserved… Continue Reading →
