Spooky SZN Sounds: Sacred Skin, Born In Fire

We had to do it. We had to! You listen to the kind Darkwave-tinged Electro that Sacred Skin is making and tell us it doesn’t somewhat fit under the “Spooky SZN Sounds” banner! Also, we were already late to the Sacred Skin party when we came across them early in 2025 and have procrastinated enough […]

Untitled Metal Column: Volume 6 (Martyrdod, Elddop)

I liken my first time listening through a Martyrdod record to my first experience with Nachtmystium’s Black Meddle, Pt. 1 in that the music is so utterly engaging from the get go yet the vocals are undeniably jarring for a virgin listener. Even more vicious than Blake Judd, Mikael Kjellman [...]

Untitled Metal Column: Volume 5 (Monuments, The Amanuensis)

  The next evolution of djent is here. Monuments latest album, The Amanuensis, is a blistering aural assault of machine gun riffs, technical mastery, and vocals that soar above the stratosphere only to strike down with visceral intensity at a moments notice.

On their upcoming 12″, “Single Clarity”, the brothers Tucci yield impeccable skill on a completely improvised track that doesn’t relent for a second of its’ almost ten minute [...]

Lazer/Wulf bring some “thinking man’s metal” on The Beast of Left and Right

Holy crap! Behold excellence! Are you still not feeling Mastodon’s evolution? The good news is that Lazer/Wulf is here to comfort you during this difficult time. Some Metallica, some Masto, some Kylesa (They are on Retro Futurist after all), and a little bit of the (melvins) on speed make for [...]

Video View: Sex Hands, “Pivot”

In the all encompassing category of “Don’t judge a book by its’ cover”, Sex Hands come out of left field with “Pivot”, reminding listeners of Caesars’ raucous “Jerk It Out” albeit without that organ. It’s a wacky video (Those eyes! Mad psychedelia!) for two solid minutes of jangly guitars, dreamy [...]
