• Sickening Horror “When Landscapes Bled Backwards”

  Sickening Horror’s first full-length, When Landscapes Bled Backwards, is the coldest album I’ve ever heard. Now what the hell does that mean? It is a combination of robotically precise drumming by George Kollias (ever heard of him?), a very present and original bass tone for metal (growling jazz) , guitar work that is [...]

• Genghis Tron “Board Up The House”

  I remember a time when Relapse Records was considered a metal and grindcore label. They still released a few albums that were stinkers, but you could always count on them to release metal or grindcore. Nowadays they seem to sign any and every band as long as they live within a 50 mile [...]

• Intronaut “Prehistoricisms”

  I’ve never been a fan of progressive metal, Cynic and Atheist do nothing for me and bands like Mouth Of The Architect bore the shit out of me, yet in 2006 Intronaut stood above their peers and impressed me with their debut full length offering Void. The release was an amazing combination of compelling [...]

• Machetazo To Collaborate With Winters In Osaka

  Blabbermouth reports that experimental grinders Winters In Osaka will be collaborating with Machetazo on a new recording. Adding to their already monumental discography, which already features a veritable who’s who of the grind/experimental noise scenes, WINTERS IN OSAKA have announced that their next act of aural terror will be a collaboration with the legendary Spanish death [...]

• Ehnahre “The Man Closing Up”

  Remember the first time you listened to Rune’s The End of Nothing, and felt utterly overwhelmed by its 10 ton hammer of dreadful depression, smashing down your genitals like a jackhammer to cement? Or the first time you heard anything from Portal, with their wall of sound cacophony and eldritch ambiance?Ever imagine what those two [...]

• Sunn O))) & Boris “Altar”

  Having never listened to any of these bands prior to now I wasn’t sure what to expect, but considering the hype surrounding Sunn O))) I had a feeling it was going to be something I was either going to really like or, more than likely really hate. In the end, I’m not really sure [...]

• Negativa “Negativa”

  Let’s face it. We all miss Gorguts. While many bands have taken influence from them, like the awesomely brutal Atheretic, very few bands will replace them. Gorguts is arguably one of the greatest death metal acts to ever perform on the face of this earth. Gorguts released two strong death metal albums back during Roadrunner [...]

• Minsk “The Ritual Fires of Abandonment”

  This is actually my second attempt at reviewing Minsk’s Relapse Records’ debut The Ritual Fires Of Abandonment. The first review I wrote was written while I was half in the bag, included a lot of references to homosexual acts involving members of Minsk and gerbils and, while funny, didn’t really make a lot of [...]

• Intronaut “Void”

  If I was to tell you that members and ex-members of such bands as Uphill Battle, Anubis Rising, Exhumed, and Phobia were getting together to form a band, you might form some definite ideas about what the music might be like. Others, who would rather not spend the time thinking, might have no idea at [...]

• Intronaut “The Challenger”

  After receiving two promotional copies of Intronaut’s Void I made the executive decision (aka I was too fucking lazy to do it myself) to pass one of the discs onto Double Ds to review and made no attempt to listen to the album myself. I’d heard Intronaut are a prog metal outfit, and I hate [...]
