Clarity Came With A Cool Summer’s Breeze by ARKHETH
https://i-voidhangerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/clarity-came-with-a-cool-summers-breeze Genre: Metal Rating: 2/5 two of five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ released September 30, 2022 It’s difficult not to poke fun at this music. There’s moments where it sounds like ok this has potential and then suddenly it turns into something so dorky it almost seems as if it’s intentionally self-destructive. Metal can successfully pullContinue reading “Clarity Came With A Cool Summer’s Breeze by ARKHETH”
Level One Mage by Erik Gundel
https://erikgundel.bandcamp.com Genre: Ambient Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp April 8, 2022 LOM is a surprisingly diverse record. The bandcamp notes and a little googling lets you know that Brooklyn resident (how do they afford it?), Gundel, takes his craft seriously and has been at it for a while and his professional approach pays dividends. ThereContinue reading “Level One Mage by Erik Gundel”

Protozoan Battle Hymns by Rhododendron
https://rhododendronpdx.bandcamp.com/album/protozoan-battle-hymns Genre: Metal Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp May 14, 2021 First off, straight up, this would be a free and clear 5/5 except for the high end is severely muted on the recording. Even on the bandcamp page the ten already sold cassettes are advertised as normal bias. Fuck that. Dolby off. High bias.Continue reading “Protozoan Battle Hymns by Rhododendron”
They Don’t Know What I Go Through At Home by SpermaNoise / To Hell With Religion
https://implodingsounds.bandcamp.com/album/they-dont-know-what-i-go-through-at-home Genre: harsh noise / grindcore (split) Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp February 12, 2022 My favorite and least favorite thing about this is the album cover reminiscent of the horrifying Dark Angel covers. I hope that poor girl never sees this. As their names would lead you to believe SpermaNoise are the harsh noiseContinue reading “They Don’t Know What I Go Through At Home by SpermaNoise / To Hell With Religion”
Striving Toward Oblivion (Black Metal) by VORGA (Germany)
https://vorgaband.bandcamp.com/album/striving-toward-oblivion-black-metal Genre: Black Metal Rating: 5/5 released February on bandcamp 4, 2022 I could be wrong but seems like 2019 was the last great great year for metal. Are we in a bit of drought? Nothing has hit me over the head and said you’re not going to believe this but this is crazier thanContinue reading “Striving Toward Oblivion (Black Metal) by VORGA (Germany)”
SUMMARY EXECUTION by BLUDGEONED
https://viletapesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/summary-execution Genre: Metal Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp January 5, 2022 Standing out in the world of heavy metal is an incredibly difficult task. Metal is the most durable and international genre of music since Tony Iommi cut off his fingertips. Metal is the tardigrade of music. Metal can be good simply by ticking offContinue reading “SUMMARY EXECUTION by BLUDGEONED”
W by Boris
https://boris.bandcamp.com/album/w Genre: Metal Rating: Unrated Review – Highest Accolades released on bandcamp January 21, 2022 First off, it’s important to acknowledge how important Boris is. Amplifier Worship isn’t actually their debut record but don’t try telling my mind that. I was living in beautiful Hirosaki, Aomori snow country Japan but by the time my earsContinue reading “W by Boris”
Pharmacist (3) / Fluids – Feeling Young (split)
https://pharmacist-gurglinggore.bandcamp.com/album/feeling-young Genre: Death Metal Rating: 4/5 The Fluids side is a bit more experimental but the entire thing hangs its hat on old-fashioned spine crushing. Intensely physical. This is not the mental or the dream climate. This is the soil and the sun. There’s nothing more natural than decay and death. In fact, it couldContinue reading “Pharmacist (3) / Fluids – Feeling Young (split)”
