Posted on by

Sad news to report as Casey Chaos (Amen, Christian Death, Disorderly Conduct) has died. He was 59 years old (EDITOR’S NOTE – CORRECTED FROM 54 IN A PRIOR REPORT). No cause of death has been announced at this time. News of his passing came from a press release by his label, Cleopatra Records. Casey first appeared on the scene with his 1999 Roadrunner Records label self-titled debut, produced by Ross Robinson (Korn, Limp Bizkit, The Mars Volta). Casey toured internationally and chose to be a beacon of hardcore music and real rock n roll. RIP. Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: Anthers – Pedigree Pig EP

Posted on by

At no point on Pedigree Pig (Self-Released), the debut EP by Seattle Post-Punk three-piece Anthers, does it feel like this is a record recorded from down the road. Pedigree Pig, I’m quite sure, was recorded in a murky sci-fi sex dungeon on the moon — conveniently being rented out for band recordings, but smelling kind of sus. Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: Saint Agnes – Bloodsuckers

Posted on by

 

Saint Agnes, from the UK, spark the fires of aggression with Alt. Nu-groove album Bloodsuckers (Spinefarm Records).

Fury – Failed Entertainment

Posted on by

I remember hearing Fury for the first time way back when in the dark recesses of time, well 2016 to be exact, look I’m getting old and it all gets a bit blurry, ok!?! Anyway, their debut record Paramount (Triple B Records) was released to little fanfare but quickly grew in popularity in underground circles. Sophomore release Failed Entertainment (Run For Cover Records) is here and to say that it’s long-awaited would be an understatement. Way more outlets are now looking at Fury as a band to watch out for this year.Continue reading →

REVIEWS ROUND UP: Black Mirrors, Lowlives, Wildways, Bruise, Arabrot, Lord

Posted on by

Nearly twenty years into this twenty first century of ours, and retro is once again the chicest tone in town. Fuzzed, bluesy guitars, seventies licks and threads, and an aching earnestness for a sound of yesteryear is where the coolest of cats are chilling. And down such alleyways we find Belgian quartet Black Mirrors and their impressive full length debut Look Into The Black Mirror (Napalm).Continue reading →
