• Absence Of The Sacred “Era Of The Apostate”

  After reading up on Singapore’s Absence Of The Sacred I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect from their 2008 full length offering Era Of The Apostate out on Vrykoblast Productions. From what I’d read, Absence Of The Sacred are an old school death thrash outfit, however, what came out [...]

• After The Burial “Rareform”

  Oh Goody, another band from Sumerian Records. After Sea of Treachery and Veil of Maya I’m not too excited to see anything new from that label unless it’s named The Faceless and comes with an apology from their CEO and an offer to have my dick sucked by his girlfriend. God those pieces of shit [...]

• Sea of Treachery “At Daggers Drawn”

  Ya know, sometimes I could hate the Swedes for developing their brand of melodic death metal. But I refrain: who could have predicted that 10 years later American metalcore bands would horde their riffs with poorly implemented hardcore breakdowns and clean melodic choruses that could be ripped right out of a pop punk song on [...]

• Veil of Maya “The Common Man’s Collapse”

  What a deceptive piece of shit this band is. You see that band name? What’s the first thing you’d expect? Yeah, that’s right: Cynic-style progressive/technical death metal. That’s not at all what you get on The Common Man’s Collapse. A little deduction makes it clear that the band name is really a reference to the [...]

• In Flames “A Sense of Purpose”

  Jesus, it’s that owl faggot again, this time running through a labyrinth with a giant pinball apparently after him. I guess this is In Flames attempt to reference their back catalogue- a version of "Pinball Map", if you will- but fuck, it simply comes off as a generic Aiden shirt at Hot Topic. Oh yeah, that’s [...]

• Trivium “The Crusade”

  I figured that since I constantly crack on Trivium, I might as well be fair and put myself in the electric chair with Trivium’s new album. A lot of people probably read my rantings and have no idea what I’m going on about with my dislike of Trivium. Though no one has done so yet, [...]

• The Black Dahlia Murder “Unhallowed”

  The Black Dahlia Murder is a melodic death act that gets its name from an infamous murder of a wannabe actress that occurred in Hollywood during the late 40’s. The murder consisted of the physical investigation and the paperwork; musically this American take on the Gothenburg scene is comparable to one of those elements. The [...]

• The Black Dahlia Murder “Miasma”

  Oh for Christ’s sake, what is this shit? Ladies and gentlemen, I present the new The Black Dahlia Murder album. On The Black Dahlia Murder’s last effort, Unhallowed, the band ripped off lesser At the Gates riffs a good deal of the time and combined some Americanization to give it the distinct sound of actually [...]

• Stratovarius “Infinite”

  Some people would think the heaps of hate mail I receive is what is constantly rocking me towards the edge, pushing me to, not only end this site and zine, but to also blow my brains out, painting bits of my skull against the ceiling in a post-modern impressionistic piece of art. I’ll be [...]
