An Autumn For Crippled Children – All Fell Silent, Everything Went Quiet

Jimmy Rowe
April 22, 2020
Reviews
Enigmatic Dutch post-black metal band An Autumn For Crippled Children have been pushing black metal's long-standing flirtation with new wave, shoe gaze, and dreampop to its logical conclusions for over a decade now, garnering a dedicated underground following in niche circles. I've advocated on behalf of the band for their piece of the pie in their recognition as forebears to the genre's exploration of these blurring genre margins, taking things further and getting there faster than the more household names like Deafheaven and Alcest. Broader audiences simply haven't taken notice, likely due to the fact that the band is anonymous and has never intended on playing live, making them a hard sell to would-be labels seeking to advertise and move units.

  • Sanguisugabogg – Tortured Whole

    Jimmy Rowe
    April 5, 2021
    Columbus, Ohio's Sanguisugabogg are among one of the most hyped up-and-coming death metal bands of the moment. Their demo Pornographic Seizures, released in 2019, was acclaimed in underground death metal circles and moved units quickly, landing them on the Century Media roster for their debut album Tortured Whole. It would seem that The 'Bogg has found themselves an early formula for success as a rising act to watch in death metal.
