Sonic Poison- Eruption (Album Review) Jan. 26, 2023

Eruption
by Sonic Poison

Sonic Poison seems like an appropriate name for a band thats trying to hit listeners with as much noise, grime, and speed as they can, and thats exactly what makes their debut full-length Eruption so appealing throughout its brief twenty-to minute run time. Despite this being the first long play fro...

Wuodan’s Wunde- Es glimmt empor aus ewger Nacht (Album Review) Jan. 25, 2023

Es glimmt empor aus ewger Nacht
by Wuodan's Wunde

The rawer and lo-fi side of black metal has a lot to offer for those willing to dive beneath the layers of noise and murkier, sometimes washed-out layers.

Grief Circle- Weightless (Album Review) Jan. 18, 2023

Weightless
by Grief Circle

Back in 2021 I reviewed the third album from Polish post metal band Moanaa and found it to be one of the highlights of that year thanks to its compact and strong songwriting.

Discomfiture Atlas
by Microwaves

Fans of noise rock and no wave may have come across Pittsburghs Microwaves at some point, as the group has been churning out weird and abrasive material for the better part of two decades now.
