Cyclopic – Flesh of Chaos (Unequivocally Dark Fantasy Death Metal)
Ah yes. Haven’t had a supergroup in awhile, and Cyclopic consists of members from Germany, Kazakhstan, and Russia. Normally, this kind of mix yields mixed results (lol get it) but here we find something else entirely. Now, looking at info supplied by the label, Awakening Records (who you should really be paying more attention […]

Barbaric Oath – Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance (Blackened Eldritch Fantasy Metal)
I’ve recently been delving into medieval wargaming, and what more of a perfect soundtrack for slaying mounted knights with halberds than this absolute trebuchet to the face that is Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance by what should become one of the greatest bands of the eldritch approach, Barbaric Oath! Enter the battlefield! If deficient in a […]

Cruel Force – Haneda (Heavy Death Metal)
I don’t think I’ve seen a band with growth as impressive as Cruel Force. If you look at their earlier work, it leaned more towards the “evil”/Satanic edge, favoring an ominous presence with lo-fi leather, transitioned into a less aggressive form with its spikes rounded to studs, and now with this, their latest, a […]

Nuctemeron – Demonic Sceptre (Beautifully Tacky Satanic Speed Thrash)
I simply adore bands that so visibly lean into Satanic and demonic themes, but it has to be done in a certain way, almost a self-deferential lack of care. Frills required. Such as spikes fashioned into upside-down crosses, photographs in cemeteries with a bit of blasphemy, fire, skulls (plastic, of course), so yes Germany’s […]

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 […]

Putridarium – Natvm Ad Mortem (Pig Vomit Dirty Deathdoom)
Yeah I haven’t gotten any good 7″ cuts in awhile, and for our next scuzz blast for the new year, we have Germany’s Putridarium dealing out a two-track wonder called Natvm Ad Mortem. Adding to the pantheon of deathdoom I’ve experienced over the past few years, this particular effort builds upon the putrid foundation […]

Illusive Key – Consume Us (Atmospheric Ritualistic Black Metal)
Illusive Key, a German-Belgian coven who’ve just recently allowed their eyes to glow from far back in the darkness, are the type of band that prefers a bit of mystery. It’s clear, having listened to this thoroughly, that there’s skill to be found here, meaning they likely have experience outside of this project. And […]

Morbyda – Under the Spell (Witch Metal Inferno)
Damn I love this shit. For some reason, though, I didn’t at first, but this is nowhere close to a “grower,” I should have got my shit together from day one son. That’s because Morbyda are the MFing gawds of this kind of metal folks. Do you hear me folks? Is it speed metal? […]

Eisenkult – Die Hölle ist hier (Blackened Fairy Tale Metal)
Is differentiation the true key to success? Yes, says Germany’s Eisenkult, who come from the Black Forest (not actually, but let’s pretend) bringing dark fables through riff and screech. There’s a particular form of black metal in their homeland that dips into the schadenfreude that imparts patterns onto the Germanic mind down to roof […]

Naked Whipper (Blackened Anti-Christian Perversion Metal)
Uh oh, the perverse beasts are back. I can’t remember the last time I heard of Germany’s Naked Whipper, but here we are again. They were around before this site was even birthed, bringing their lusty-demon type of perverted blasphemy years before I even knew their name and years before anyone was riding that […]
