Hellripper The Affair of the Poisons ReviewBy El Cuervo on October 10, 2020 in Reviews, Black Metal, Speed Metal, 36 comments Despite enjoying metal my whole life, I used to struggle with thrash beyond the biggest names. I found it bland, chugging and neanderthalic. 2017 was a watershed time for my enjoyment of the thrashing style, and part of that watershed was Coagulating Darkness by Hellripper. Bridging black, speed and thrash, James McBain’s solo project did what so many others (including the ‘classics’) previously had not and opened the doors to the genre. Though I never got round to a write-up, it’s one of the premium speedy albums of the 2010s and Hellripper shot up my list of favorite bands. Return of the Ripper. Transcendence Towards Obscurities Beyond ReviewBy Eldritch Elitist on October 9, 2020 in Reviews, Black Metal, Death Metal, 17 comments Riffs are really fucking important. It s my job around here to write an additional seven hundred-ish words on top of riffs good or riffs bad, but when it comes to metal music, riffcraft is always my priority. It s only when the riffs fail to stand out that first impressions require a deeper dig; if the what of the music fails to satisfy, perhaps the why can provide some solace. And that s where California s Transcendence vexes me. Vex Arcana. Gorephilia In the Eye of Nothing ReviewBy Ferrous Beuller on October 9, 2020 in Reviews, Death Metal, 21 comments In 2017 I covered Gorephilia s Severed Monolith and awarded the album a mixed score. While many disagreed, I couldn t shake the notion that the gaps in the writing eclipsed the album s better elements. Although I have found myself returning to Severed Monolith more than expected, I stand by my criticisms. Then, in 2018 vocalist Henri Emil Kuula sadly passed away. As is often the case, the band s future seemed uncertain. Three years later and Gorephilia have returned with another platter of occult hemophagic horror. Where the eyes live. Invernoir The Void and the Unbearable Loss ReviewBy Cherd of Doom on October 8, 2020 in Reviews, Death Metal, Doom Metal, 26 comments We all have styles of metal so squarely in our wheelhouse it s hard to tell where the wheel ends and the house begins. Weird phrasing? OK, I ll try again: we all have styles that fit so well, they re like slipping into a second skin made from stitched-together skins of bands that make the styles we—nope. How about we re all like a bed-bound shut-in with sores down one side because we never shift position, and each of us has a style of metal that s the corresponding depression in the mattress and rotting bed linens that perfectly mirrors our moribund—know what? Let s forget similes. We all have styles that are our jam. Now, rising from Rome, Italy, comes Invernoir and their Cherd-bait debut The Void and the Unbearable Loss with the explicit desire to resurrect the sound of doom music from the 90s. Void rage. Somnus Throne Somnus Throne ReviewBy Steel Druhm on October 8, 2020 in Reviews, Doom Metal, 5 comments The mysterious and unidentified crew that make up Somnus Throne are said to hail from New Orleans, Texas and L.A., and on their eponymous debut they are content to allow their music to make the introductions for them. Listeners can expect to be greeted by psychedelic stoner doom in the vein of Sleep, High on Fire, and Mastodon, heavy on the massive riffage and song-lengths and light on innovation or originality. Thronesmoker. Yatra All is Lost ReviewBy GardensTale on October 8, 2020 in Reviews, Doom Metal, Sludge, Stoner Metal, 10 comments I reviewed Yatra’s debut early last year to a mixed result. Death Ritual was not without promise, but the stoner doom with blackened snarls didn’t quite live up to what it could have been with slightly tepid songwriting. Naturally, I was curious about how their second album, All is Lost, would fare. A year and a half in current conditions is a pretty fast turnaround; the dangers of rushing lurked in the shadows. And that’s when I found out that All is Lost is, in fact, their third album, after releasing Blood of the Night under a different label in January. 8 months gestation, in 2020?! Who do they think they are, Vardan? Enjoy ov deep stoner sludge. Onirik The Fire Cult Beyond Eternity ReviewBy Dr. A.N. Grier on October 7, 2020 in Reviews, Black Metal, 29 comments In 2015, I had the opportunity to review Casket Dream Veneration; an album I had much love for. But something happened. As I revisit it again, I find myself in love with it even more. It s a unique experience—spinning an album loved and forgotten, only to cherish it more than ever. As one would expect, this had me excited for follow-up The Fire Cult Beyond Eternity. Not only does G. Rex remain the mastermind behind Onirik but he invited Dirge Rep (drums; The Konsortium, ex-Orcustus, ex-Emperor, ex-Gehenna, and the list goes on forever) and Semjaza (mixing, mastering, and ambient vox; Thy Darkened Shade) to contribute. This is a dream team of underground black metal proportions! Burning cults. Neànder eremit ReviewBy Doom_et_Al on October 7, 2020 in Reviews, Doom Metal, Post-Metal, 16 comments Any old fool can say, “The sea is beautiful.” Using music to evoke the feelings inspired by that beauty is far, far harder. To some extent, that’s something all instrumental bands have to do: since there are no lyrics to tell you what to feel or think, the music has to inspire emotion and sensation all on its own. Instrumental music is both brave and dangerous In this respect – there is simply nowhere to hide. Berlin’s Neànder aims to achieve this lofty goal by combining the density of doom, the introspective melancholy of post-rock, and the fury of black metal, all with the focus solely on their instruments. eremit the fog.
