ALBUM REVIEW: Nailed To Obscurity – Generation Of The Void
After a six-year wait, German Melodic Death/Doomers Nailed To Obscurity throw off any remaining shackles and on their fifth full-length studio album, Generation Of The Void (Nuclear Blast Records), fulfil the potential they’ve been threatening to for years. This might come at a cost for some listeners, as while clean singing has always been integral to their sound, it also tended to remain largely as a supporting character in a much larger play. On this latest offering, vocalist Raimund Ennenga really lets loose, delivering easily the best and most versatile performance of his career.

ALBUM REVIEW: Faun – Hex
While walking the dog, I hit “play” on Faun‘s Hex (Believe/Pagan Folk Records) and the neighborhood transformed into a little medieval village, albeit with a glossy retromodern feel. Pagan Folk music by way of Yanni sums up the ambiance of this audio village.Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Modern Life Is War – Life On The Moon
Life On The Moon (Deathwish Inc) is Modern Life Is War’s first full-length in over a decade. They have returned and are deviating from what you might expect from Punk in 2025. It does not stray dramatically from what the definition of Punk was in the mid seventies. They still carry most of the aggression, though layers of singing chime in for the chorus of “First Song On The Moon.” The guitars carry a frantic jangle rather than a Hardcore chug. “There Is A Telephone That Never Stops Ringing” finds the urgency building into an explosion. The kind of organic chaos The Stooges once kicked up. Continue reading
