POX – :BKW: (Necromantic Blackened Punk)
God I love bands of this particular variety. Basically, assume that anything named after a disease or ailment is probably going to be good, and in the case of Belgium’s POX we find this theory sufficiently satisfied. They never specified the pox, but who needs to when there are so many to choose from […]

ÄXE – Autogeddon (Bestial Speed Punk)
Ironic usage of an umlaut equals unironic mastery of a genre. Now, of course, the umlaut phenomenon is primarily within the realm of metal, and a theme so reused one wonders if any letters are left to dot. Has the A been blessed with the sacred bits? Certainly, but here the redundancy is avoided […]

Hoc Est Bellum – Filth Majesty (Blackened Death Noise)
I didn’t really feel like thinking this week. We’re already halfway through, and that could change, but before it does I need to show you all how to lay out the smash with pure instinct. Finland’s Hoc Est Bellum (Latin for “This is War”) are another gem to add to the ever-growing list of […]

Goetia – Mortuary Cult (Savage Blackened Death Punk)
I was at a loss recently, because the majority of promos were just terrible. This might be one of the worst weeks on record for me, but it’s just the luck of the sucky draw. I was down to a few, but in the end the final review we have today to end off […]

Shewolff – We’re All Gonna Fukkin’ Die (Lycanthropic Metalpunk)
Does anyone really need to comment on a band called Shewolff with a cover spouting werewolf, coffin, and flaming swords as its imagery? I’d think not, but Jesus Christ you people demand words from me so you’re going to get them! Belgium’s Shewolff are one of those bands that suddenly bursts onto the scene […]

Brahmashiras – Trinitite (Blackened Anarcho Celestial Punk)
Now here’s a nice combination of details that came together exactly as they probably would have. I don’t think anyone involved had a choice. Vladimir, Russia, is a relatively small city that most foreigners would know nothing about. But we’ll avoid the history and focus on this ferocious horror that comes from its streets, […]

Skull – Abyss Calls to Abyss (Dark Occult Metalpunk)
You know, at first, I was working on a review for a Swedish crust band, until my detailed analysis revealed I actually didn’t like it at all. The usual, strained attempt at sounding brutally poignant and revolutionary at the same time, born from the typical economic constraints, ugh we’ve all heard that and we […]

Karloff – Revered by Death (Blackened Ghoul Punk)
Certain genres refuse to extricate themselves from the fetters of decades ago. I guess it’s a one part nostalgia, one part fear of the new. I’ve seen this phenomenon in hardcore, rockabilly, and especially horror punk. The last example is notorious for this, as doowop vampires have been around for awhile, stemming from the […]

Demon Sacrifice – Under the Blacklight of Divine (Supernatural Punk)
There’s a number of things I like about this EP. From the somewhat minimal cover evoking evil witch stuff, to the fluid, bloody logo nicely accented with an upside-down cross and candelabra, to the strange inclusion of Celtic-type knots, to the awkward English title of Under the Blacklight of Divine, I just knew in […]

DEVASTATIÖN – Rise of the Dead (Blackened Punk Thrash Beyond Your Dreams)
Holy hell is this good. I mean my blood is still boiling hours later. I want to punch something, hard. Having never heard of Belgium’s DEVASTATIÖN before this, though they’ve been dishing out releases since 2007 and…now wait a minute… Yes, nevermind! I do remember these guys, but their album Pussy Juice Blues just […]
