VOIDHÄMMER – Noxious Emissions (Toxic Crust Metal)
With the start of the new year, it makes the most sense to start things vile. Why wait for things to get worse? Let’s make it so. There have been a number of bands of the type you’ll find here, dealing out crude, metal brutality, sometimes with a distorted bang, at others with aggression […]

DEATHFUCKINGWOUND – VOID MMXXV (Entrenched Nihilistic Grindcore)
DEATHFUCKINGWOUND. That’s the name, huh? Well, I almost deleted the email, not because I’m a sensitive man, but because I didn’t feel like writing another review this week. Yet, with their completely nihilistic aesthetic, I decided to give it a few seconds, and found myself immediately eviscerated by VOID MMXXV, even a mere 10 […]

Putrid Offal – Obliterated Life (I Settled on This Grind)
At first I thought I was settling on this, because these past two weeks for promos have been wretched. Typical metal, and other genres, with not a lick of creativity to differentiate any of it from what I’ve heard a million times. So then I’m looking here at France’s Putrid Offal, who’ve been around […]

Gorgerin – S/T (Back Alley Autopsy Goregrind)
Figured since I got another good one to review this week, instead of trimming down the chaff to get to the usual two, I’d do three, and Canada’s Gorgerin were just the right amount of disgust to drive away anyone who recently came to the site. We keep it real underground here, to the […]

Cara Neir – Phantasmal (Cybergrind Chiptunes Screamo Horror)
Yo let me break the “don’t review after release” rule I set some years ago. Sometimes, my will be done, because rarely do I get stuff like this, and typically after release too like WTF. Like get on that earlier promo train sons. Anyway so Cara Neir came out of nowhere, or, actually, I […]

Pupil Slicer – Mirrors (Powerviolence Mathcore and Grind with a Purpose)
Ah so glad I received this so everyone can STFU that I don’t review music of this type. I just rarely get the good stuff. How many times do I have to say that? I guess every time since people tend to stop here once in their life for that one thing they heard […]

Socioclast – S/T (Bittersweet Grindcore)
Well this was surprisingly enjoyable for an album that first appears to be a rip off of some Teitanblood shit, but not nearly as long. In fact it’s not even half of that or so. Albums that deliver in such a short span of time are amazing to me when they work. Most bands […]

Tithe – Penance (No One Will Like You Metal)
At first I was getting annoyed by all the Jef Whitehead covers I was seeing in 43% of the promos I’ve had come in (that’s exact math) and then I scoped this one and was like “okay, I get it.” What a perfect arrangement! And what a great example of how cover art can […]

Collision – The Final Kill (Tears of Joy and Sadness Crossover Epilogue)
Nothing these guys do is wrong, there I said it. Even their earlier work, when they more heavily leaned grindcore, is tolerable. But none of that “their early stuff is better” nonsense because they just kept getting better. Not only do they have the guts to wear their own shirts, they realized that grindcore […]
