Övervåld – Vigarv (Blackened Death Crust)
Here’s a nice ear killer. Sweden’s Övervåld thus far have been slaying alone, with nothing but street support, and honestly they’re good for it, and don’t need you, or anybody to accomplish their already clear goals. With an over-Xeroxed aesthetic in both visuals and sound, their particular approach to blackened death crust doesn’t have […]

Nordvagr – Resignation IV (Dark Ambient Industrial with Sick Beats)
Finally, finally, some good dark ambient/dark industrial. Hell, any ambient or industrial is needed around here, but as I’ve said countless times, the former is a genre that seems simple to craft, which is why the majority of submissions I receive are total garbage. Bunch of fools with keyboards yet no actual training in […]

Rotpit – Long Live the Rot (Complexly Flippant Swedish Death Metal)
I’ve seen bands evolve before, but rarely to this level. Rotpit’s first full-length came out over a year ago, and I gave that one a bunch of glittering generalities, some jokes about their style, but still with a strong positive recommendation, so imagine how tickled my tummy was when I saw a new one […]

Repuked – Club Squirting Blood (Perverse Swedish Death Metal)
It’s time I faced the facts. I grew up listening to old school Pungent Stench, who developed that saucy, sweaty, butt smelling kind of grime that defined a genre in itself. But, after years of running out of ideas, some legal battles that kind of turned out alright, a stupid name change, and a […]

Vomitrot – Emetic Imprecations (Death Barf)
Yes, it’s barf time fools! This is great, I was looking for some awesome death barf recently but nothing was doing it for me. Specifically because the riffs, and most certainly the vocals, were not reaching far enough to the back of my mouth to incite the gag reflex. If it can’t get in […]

Alarm! – S/T (Outcasted Victimized Hardcore)
Oh hahha yes, what a great cover this has. Most hardcore I get for review is too old school to be called old school, meaning it sounds like nostalgic shit you should have wiped out of your ass years ago. When was Hatebreed relevant? 1995? Give that crud a flush with the people who […]

Hellbutcher – S/T (Covered in Spikes Blackened Speed Thrash)
Yes, hmm, yes. I must admit I was hesitant about this when I first heard of it. Having listened to Nifelheim extensively, and still on occasion, for many years, I, like many, lamented their disbandment in 2022. Though, let’s be real, it was technically years before that as releases slowed and we’d get a […]

Sarcasm – Mourninghoul (Swedish Existential Death Metal)
This one shouldn’t have been this good. I mean, I’ve heard of Sarcasm, but I always though the name was a little, heh, sarcastic, and found it tough to step further than a few brief listens because, well, I wasn’t sure how serious they were. I curse myself for this grave error. Death metal, […]

Dödsrit – Nocturnal Will (Melancholic Blackened Metalpunk)
What an interesting combination of genres this one is, but regardless, musically, it has one of the most emotional presentations I’ve ever seen out of anything going that “blackened” route. Pause, like the armored knight above, and take a breath before you listen. Sweden’s Dödsrit have been releasing full-lengths since 2017, this being their […]

Forndom – Alster (Haunting Dark Ritual Folk)
Yeah I get these ambient submissions sometimes and it always reminds me how difficult it is it to make a lasting impression or be effective in the genre. It’s far beyond that in difficulty if you’re remaking tracks within the genre that were released in a previously different form. This is exactly what Sweden’s […]
