Latest Reviews

  • Year of No Light – Consolamentum

    Eden Kupermintz
    July 12, 2021
    As much as Year of No Light are rated in underground circles, they are still underrated. Their name deserves to be up there with bands like ISIS or The Ocean in the annals of post-metal and doom. Consolamentum, twenty years into their career, is one of the best things they’ve made and one of the best things made in the genre, period. Holy fuck.

  • Cerebral Rot – Excretion of Mortality

    Jimmy Rowe
    July 12, 2021
    Truth be told, Cerebral Rot have found themselves in a bit of a sophomore slump with Excretion of Mortality. Even at faster paces, the songs feel robbed of urgency, and the whole affair just feels labored. Those aching for a slab of pungent death metal will surely have a good time regardless, and the music is every bit as disgusting as one would hope based on the grotesque cover art.

  • Anthropophagus Depravity – Apocalypto

    Bridget Hughes
    July 12, 2021
    Even by metal standards, brutal death metal is a controversial topic. Plenty of longtime metal fans can’t stand the ove... Read More...

  • Azure – Of Brine and Angel’s Beaks

    Eden Kupermintz
    July 12, 2021
    The same band we've come to love (and boy, do I love Azure) is still there, their optimistic, hopeful, powerful heart still beating underneath the added musical layers. And that's what makes all of those additions work; in other works, they'd come off as extraneous or forced, the mark of a band trying too hard to be something they're not. But here, the extra tones, the contrasts, the counterpoints, and the overall structure of the album work so well because they are in constant communication with Azure's style and their artistic direction.
