05.07.25-Warsaw Theater- Brooklyn, NY

I was gifted the opportunity to catch the second coming of the Napalm Death, Melvins tour package known as The Savage Imperial Death March Part II, but still sad I missed part I with Melt Banana. I love that band! The leg of the tour that I was able to partake in had Dark Sky Burial (Napalm’s Death’s bassist Shane Embury’s project), and Titan To Tachyons (featuring members of Imperial Triumphant) open Brooklyn’s recently renovated Warsaw theater.Continue reading →

ALBUM REVIEW: King Parrot – A Young Person’s Guide To

Posted on by

There’s something about Grindcore that is so ridiculous that it ironically makes me like it more. Melbourne’s own King Parrot dropped their long-awaited fourth full-length record, A Young Person’s Guide To (Housecore Records), which brings the riffs, the groove, and all the disgusting, yet funny lyrics. Each track attempts to stand out on its own, but the back half of the album has a couple of duds; however, it does finish strong!Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: Rivers Of Nihil – Rivers Of Nihil

Posted on by

Change often comes at the most inconvenient time. Something Pennsylvanian Progressive Death Metal act Rivers Of Nihil discovered when they were forced into parting ways with enigmatic frontman Jake Dieffenbach after 2021’s groundbreaking album The Work. Hiring from within to avoid losing momentum, bassist Adam Biggs took over the now vacant vocalist position while second guitarist Andy Thomas was recruited from fellow Pennsylvanians Black Crown Initiate.Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: Brutal Sphincter – Sphinct-Earth Society

Posted on by

Ain’t no surprises here.

 

Belgian miscreants Brutal Sphincter are here for two things: to pen gut-busting Goregrind that is filled with as much viscera as groove, and to inject quite a fair share of tongue-in-cheek humor. Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: …And Oceans – The Regeneration Itinerary

Posted on by

Proving that career paths often never work out quite the way you imagine, Finnish experimentalists …And Oceans was founded by the two guitarists of Death Metallers Festerday and began life as a fairly straight-forward Black Metal act. After metamorphosing into something more akin to Black Cybermetal on their 2001 album A.M.G.O.D., in 2005, the band changed their name to Havoc Unit before reverting to Festerday a few years later. A band that continues to exist despite the reformation of …And Oceans in 2019. Continue reading →

Coming on like a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, we have the new cut from Brazilian death masters Escarnium.
