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 […]

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, […]

Obscureviolence – Refuting the Flesh (Darkened Death Metal)
I never seem to have trouble coming up with genre tags (primarily for my own personal enjoyment), but this new power trio sure gave me a challenge! Featuring members of Horror God, Russia’s Obscureviolence seem, at first, to combine two popular genres as has been the fad this past decade, the black and the […]

Voidwards – Bagulnik (Dark Ambient Funeral Drone)
I like when an artist forces you to research their creation. This is entirely necessary when they’re obscure and seemingly refuse to provide any clear presence. They live as more of a shade, so deep in the shadows you barely see a glint from their eyes with light shining upon them. In the era […]

Thanatomass – Hades (Profane Blackened Death Metal)
Man, don’t think I’ve heard anything this good out of Russia in awhile. Can I say that? Let me check. Yep, been two whole years, actually slightly over. This is so good goddamn it if I didn’t think it came out of Chile. But, nope, definitely Russia. Considering the fact that they apparently have […]

Gosudar / Malignant Altar – Split (Murky Death Metal)
I basically loathe splits. Good stuff, sometimes, but it’s like just save those tracks for a separate release bros. It’s only a thing when bands have B-list drool and they’re like “how can we release this?” “Oh, yeah, a split!” And, in most cases, you don’t mind listening to it, but will you remember […]

Hymnr – Far Beyond Insanity (Plague-Ridden Melodic Black Metal)
Usually I see some “insanity” reference and I want to cry. It’s like late works of Gothic literature that tried to creep with “scary” mental illness. Honestly, it’s not that scary. Really it’s not. So to see the same trope with black metal of the melodic variety? Come on now. That’s what I thought. […]

kariti – Covered Mirrors (A Dark Folk Emotional Purge through Loss)
To be honest I simply reworded kariti’s own Bandcamp blurb for my subtitle of this one because her words were so poignant alone but I didn’t want to seem totally incapable of thought. But thoughts are lacking today, as a rule. I’m at a total loss for thoughts and words, or better to say […]

Ulvdalir – Hunger for the Cursed Knowledge (Ingrian Black Metal Duh)
Did you even, like, know what “Ingrian Black Metal” was before this review? I know I didn’t, lol. I had heard something of the region of Ingria, but I didn’t realize there was this thing with black metal there until I heard Ulvdalir. I won’t even get into the complex ethnic background of it […]

Sobranie 8 18 – S/T (No Annoying ASCII Symbols Witch House)
Yeah I needed some witchery in my lifedeath and this just happened to pop in the promos only a few days before it officially drops. Good. You metal, punk, death thrash, and whatever else clowns need to lose your lucidity once in awhile and melt away. Sit back, listen, brain bleed, absorb. Get the […]
