• Stumm “I”

  Finland is a bleak and depressing place. It has one of the highest suicide rate among males in the entire world. Everyone I know who lives in Finland is constantly depressed, whether it’s because of the nearly constant grey skies or because there’s just nothing to do, they fucking hate life in Finland. [...]

• Lair of the Minotaur “The Ultimate Destroyer”

  This is the End of Irony. Looking at these song titles ("Juggernaut of Metal", "The Hydra Coils Upon This Wicked Mountain"), all I can think of is that stupid ass Metalocalypse cartoon that so many halfheads out there have turned into a viable cultural phenomenon. Listening to this record, all I can think of is what [...]

• The Abominable Iron Sloth “The Abominable Iron Sloth”

  One look at the cover for this album and I knew I had no interest in it. I really should start taking my mom’s advice "Don’t say you hate something without trying it." A year after I received it I finally decided to blow the dust off the disc and give it a [...]

• Soilent Green “Confrontation”

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my many years of being a metal fan is that there is no such thing as the perfect label. Whether it’s a major label like Metal Blade, Century Media and Earache or small labels like Willowtip, Razorback and Unique Leader, they’ve all had releases I’ve loved and [...]

• Neurosis “Sovereign”

  Relapse recording artists Neurosis have joined together once again on their own independent label to release an appetizer for their new release A Sun That Never Sets. On this album they stick to the formula that has worked so well for them over the past few years; an apocalyptic storm of thunderous bass driven [...]

• Negative Reaction “Under The Ancient Penalty”

  Negative Reaction is a sludge band hailing from New York. They have been around since 1993, spewing out release after release of no-frills anguish filled music. Definately not the happiest campers, that’s for sure! For example, take a look at some of the title tracks: "Lost", "Loathing", "Suffer". These guys seem to be quite content [...]

• Grief “Turbulent Times”

  I am about to test the waters, as I dip my dangerously-cheesy feet into the pool of narrow-minded metalheads everywhere. Teufel informed me that this site was dedicated to all types of music in the extreme realm and I intend of lengthening the boundaries. I would rather not head into a long-winded discussion on the [...]

• Goatsblood “Drull”

  When I first listened to this album, I fucking hated it. It was all over the place and did not contain any cohesion at all. Many listens later, I have completely changed my mind, it just clicked. I do not know if it was the mood I was in or I was [...]

• Discordance Axis & Corrupted & 324 “Split”

  If anyone knows me, they know that I have a soft spot for Discordance Axis. Ever since I heard Ulterior I’ve been enamored with their insanely fast, bass-less brand of crusty grindcore for quite awhile now. Craving more material from the now defunct band, and wanting to try Corrupted after having heard praises of their [...]

• Crowpath “Son Of Sulfur”

  I get so many CDs to review that sometimes I go months or years before having the time to go back and listen to the ones I’ve missed. Crowpath’s Red On Chrome has been hiding at the bottom of a pile of discs on my desk since the week it was released in 2004. [...]
