Twilight Fauna / Old Thunder – Bloodlines (Into The Night Records)

I wasn’t specifically asked to review this but as a download code was sent and I immersed myself in this split release by two USBM naturistic one man projects it would really have been rude not to especially as it… Continue Reading →

Dead Earth Politics – Men Become Gods (S/R)

Formed in 2005 in Austin, Texas, Dead Earth Politics made an impact in their locality with their 2006 debut E.P and 2010 full length release. After claiming accolades in the local Austin media regarding their sound and live shows, Dead… Continue Reading →

The Kahless Clone – An Endless Loop (S/R)

I happen to know that the name of this project has something to do with Star Trek, not due to the fact that I’m a totally sad sci-fi geek but due to someone I knew who named their son after… Continue Reading →

Theories – Regression (Metal Blade)

If we were to try to personify grind it would undoubtedly be Sloth from the Goonies – albeit scary looking and menacing on the surface, it’s actually fairly basic and ultimately harmless. Even boring sometimes, due to its cut and… Continue Reading →

Prong – Songs From The Black Hole (SPV)

Not only have Prong always been steadfast and reliable but of late they have been on fire. They played one of the most energetic and snappy sets of Bloodstock last year and last album ‘Ruining Lives’ cracked skulls and grooved… Continue Reading →

Crypt Sermon – Out of the Garden (Dark Descent)

Are you a fan of doom, but prefer the near operatic scope of Candlemass than the fist in your face snarl of Wino? Not fond of tales of depression, murder, and substance abuse, but happy to listen to songs with… Continue Reading →

Atten Ash – The Hourglass (Hypnotic Dirge)

This debut album from North Carolina outfit Atten Ash originally was released independently in 2012. Now it gets some proper attention via Hypnotic Dirge records and well it should considering this band comprises of Barre Gambling of Daylight Dies along with… Continue Reading →

Brothers of the Sonic Cloth – ST (Neurot)

‘Brothers of the Sonic Cloth’, the eponymous debut release from a trio of veteran Seattle doomsters is not easy listening; let’s face it, uneasy listening would be a better description of this unflinching slab of brutality. ‘Lava’ opens the album… Continue Reading →
