Before you read the headline and roll your eyes, clicking on due ot morbid curiosity, consider this is being written by the same guy who also reviews Sanguisugabogg and hundreds of black metal bands you have never heard of. This is not a sales pitch to recruit you into my Swiftie cult; Taylor Swift needs no one to market her anymore. It’s unlikely there is going to be much objective commentary Metal/Goth/Punk side of the fence that is devoid of contempt before investigation regarding a Pop phenomena too big to be ignored. With that out of the way, I can speak now about this album that fearless fans are buying without the benefit of a lead single and solely on Swift’s reputation.

Death Metal, for all the brute force associated with it, actually has some deep thinkers and nuanced creatives amongst the genre’s bloodied ranks. One of the most genuine talents in the field is Mallika Sundaramurthy (ex-Abnormality, Unfathomable Ruination). She is a brilliant and brave writer, a commanding artist, and a peak-level Death Metal vocalist.
Emasculator is a reclamation for Sundaramurthy of her chosen path, a self-realization and sonic achievement based on moving through the shadowwork of negative experiences of the past into a vehicle that suits her vision and ethics the best.
So now hopefully you are asking yourself what are the bands I had as “do not miss” other than Inter Arma?
Full disclosure there is in no way I can present an unbiased opinion about Roadburn. This is my seventh straight year and I’m gifted a much greater amount of privilege than the average attendee. I’ve earned lifelong friendships. It’s become more than just a music festival for me. It’s a second home for five days out of every year. I’m allowed to work alongside other extremely talented and hard-working photographers and for a limited time at the beginning of every set I’m granted the best spot in the house. For me music is my safe space vs photography which is my special interest.Continue reading
