  • The Sins Of Thy Beloved “Perpetual Desolation”

    It has been stated on numerous occasions that black metal is the glam metal of the 1990’s. Taking this claim seriously, The Sins Of Thy Beloved are ironically setting new standards in inanity more so with their music than their second-rate cheesy image. "Gothic metal" is THE stupidest product of the 90’s, and [...]

  • The Great Kat “Bloody Vivaldi”

    I wish I had a dollar (or more) for every review I’ve read of this CD bitching about The Great Kat and her abrasive, self-centered, egotistical and most importantly, RUDE attitude toward people trying to get in touch with her and what not. In fact, I have one of these stories I could share [...]

  • Swordmaster “Moribund Transgoria”

    I’m not making this up. This album is seriously called Moribund Transgoria, but it actually doesn’t suck as much as I expected after suffering from that last piece of shit Deathraider mCD. "Deathspawn Of The Eibound" starts the album off with melodic, thrashy riffs ruined by weak vocals. If Swordmaster would get [...]

  • Taake “Natesstid”

    Raw, melodic Norwegian black metal invoking feelings associated with the city of Bergen. The first riff of the first song is the best part of this album, the rest of it I never got much out of . This should explain everything better: Abbas: I can’t get too into this Taake CD right now, [...]

  • Sigh “Scenario IV: Dead Dreams”

    One of the last great modern heavy metal bands left standing, the masters of storytelling return with their fifth effort to reach inside and take your mind on a tour through the vast landscapes of their imaginations. For those uninformed, Sigh is a group of three rightfully termed musicians who benefit from a range [...]

  • Siebenbürgen “Delictum”

    Apparently Siebenbürgen is the best selling merchandise band on Napalm… let’s hope Napalm is proud… I mean fuck, with bands like Abigor and Setherial on the label, it’s gotta be thrilling to announce this as a selling point. Although Siebenbürgen maintain a darker edge and can play their instruments quite well, there is nothing [...]

  • Setherial “Hell Eternal”

    The only real reason to review this album is to inform those who don’t already know of Setherial as one of the few "black metal" bands left worth paying attention to (if you still give a fuck, that is). Imagine if Dark Funeral was still good and knew how to write songs and could [...]

  • Satyricon “Rebel Extravaganza”

    In my review of the Intermezzo II mCD, I anticipated the upcoming full length would be filled with all sorts of silly avant-garde riffs and other novelties if the mcd was any sort of accurate reflection. I stand corrected. After waiting for all the sensationalism to finally fuck off, I was able to [...]

  • Satyricon “Intermezzo II”

    Thank them for not using drum triggers. A forewarning to anyone reading this, I’m one of those people who loved the first two Satyricon albums (what I call "old Satyricon") and could care less for the rest ("new Satyricon"). "A Moment Of Clarity" opens up this mCD, beginning at a mid pace with [...]

  • Rebaelliun “Burn The Promised Land”

    I wonder if there is one review out there at all that doesn’t mention the name Krisiun when describing this band. Not just sounding like Krisiun, they practically are Krisiun (or maybe vice versa? I don’t know who genuinely came first). In fact, track 5 ("Flagellation Of Christ") is also a guitar/synth [...]
