Five years ago I reviewed Proliferation and ended my 8/10 critique with “Fast loud and Rude” a nod to Vic Rattlehead and 80’s thrash. Somehow 2017’s “Extinction” passed me by – I think I played some singles on the radio. So, it is with a… Continue Reading →
So, I know very little about Liquid Flesh, save to say that they are a three-piece band from France. This would appear to be their second album, and I really wasn’t sure what I was going to be in for…. Continue Reading →
This quartet from Austin Texas caught my attention with last album Endless Computer on Nuclear War Now in 2017. They had a mutoid, squat-Atompunk sound that twisted and turned all over the place and was quite a weird sounding trip… Continue Reading →
Delving into the bottom of the weekly cauldron of hate that contains items for review, this fourth album by New Yorkers, Imperial Triumphant (a three piece although you’d never guess it from the gargantuan sound they produce), stuck out like… Continue Reading →
Congratulations on this German trio for having the whackiest name, album and track titles I have encountered in a while. Just naming one song we have delights such as ‘Kollektiing Koffiin Naiils (Délire des Négations Sequence 1.0)’ to wade through…. Continue Reading →

A bit of a short one for you this time. Arroganz, the German trio, released their “Primitiv” album back in 2017, which I awarded then an 8/10, saying at the time, “…this has the superficial sound of a band that’s… Continue Reading →
It’s been 5 years since Voivod last targeted earth, not that they haven’t been busy with smaller releases and extensive touring over that time. An album from the Canadian troops is pretty much a main event and they work steadfastly… Continue Reading →
Vor? What is it good for? Quite a lot actually! A lot of the time when a release purporting to be “sludge” hits my inbox or doormat I am dismayed. Usually folks are so busy with the big riffs and… Continue Reading →
Ready for some metal of death with shamanic drumming and chanting, occasional soprano vocals and choral aspects and even the use of a singing bowl? Well that should give you an idea that this album, the first from Khanus following… Continue Reading →
