It can be very easy for bands to pass you by and this Mexican Black Metal act is such a case for myself. Luciferian Rites formed back in 2006 and have since put out three full lengths and a mixture… Continue Reading →
The search for esoteric and divine knowledge is full of pitfalls and is more likely to lead to madness than true enlightenment. Basically, this is a very shortened summation of new artists Ornæmental Shine are focusing their narrative on. Just… Continue Reading →
Mexican industrial duo (indusduo? ) have been releasing music together since 1993 – hell of a long time for these two cousins Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam to be around each other pounding out cyberdog style sounds.

Mexican act Profanator are the final stab I got in my last reviews of this month and are by far the most progressive yet still inherently beastly on every song. This fourth album was actually out in 2018 on Mat… Continue Reading →

Originally from León, Guanajuato, Mexico, the duo of I. Ishtar (Guitars and Drums) and Jorge Vergara (Vocals and Bass) relocated to Gothenburg, Sweden and have just released their first full length album on Solitude Productions. I don’t know about you,… Continue Reading →
Mexico isn’t the first place that you think of when it comes to hateful and nihilistic black metal, but it just might be, after you’ve heard this first full-length album from Precaria. Released last year in limited quantities, ‘Precaria Ex… Continue Reading →
