ALBUM REVIEW: Malevich – Under a Gilded Sun


There are truly many directions you can go in music by taking influences from all over and finding a sound that is respectful to all of those influences. Malevich continues to evolve this approach with their latest release, Under a Gilded Sun (Church Road Records). This nearly forty-minute journey borrows from black, death, and sludge metal with dashes of grindcore mixed in. There are a few tracks on the album that feature a build-to-climax song structure, similar to how post-metal bands structure their songs.Continue reading

There’s something about the open air at Jones Beach Theater that always make shows seem so damn huge.

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.

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


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
