Viscera/// are an Italian experimental post-metal band and this is their third album.
The tag post-metal can mean almost anything at this stage in the game, and on 3: Release Yourself Through Desperate Rituals, Viscera/// show that they can pull off almost any style you want to name under its protective aegis.
In simple terms, I Continue reading “Viscera/// – 3: Release Yourself Through Desperate Rituals (Review)”
Buckshot Facelift – Ulcer Island (Review)
Buckshot Facelift are a grindcore band from the US and this is their fourth album.
Here we have over 40 minutes of well-written deathgrind. The band take the brief, energetic bursts of punk and grindcore, and entwine them with the staying power of death metal, making for an album that exists on both worlds. Continue reading “Buckshot Facelift – Ulcer Island (Review)”
Attalla – Glacial Rule (Review)
This is the second album from stoner/sludge band Attalla.
Sometimes you just get a craving for some rocking, riff-focused stoner/sludge metal, and for times like that the new Attalla album Glacial Rule is quite the tonic. Continue reading “Attalla – Glacial Rule (Review)”
Fange – Pourrissoir (Review)
This is the second album form French sludge metallers Fange.
I enjoyed the group’s debut EP Poisse, so it’s good to catch up with them once more for their second album.
This is pitch-black sludge ugliness, with some noise tendencies. Think Primitive Man, Full of Hell and Continue reading “Fange – Pourrissoir (Review)”

In the Company of Serpents – Ain-Soph Aur (Review)
In the Company of Serpents are a doom/sludge band from the US and this is their third album.
We’re familiar with the work of In the Company of Serpents from their 2014 EP Merging in Light. This was a delightfully heavy and fuzzed-up example of pitch-black doom, and now the band have returned to once more pulverise everything before them, but this time in a slightly different way. Continue reading “In the Company of Serpents – Ain-Soph Aur (Review)”
Jagged Vision – Death Is This World (Review)
This is the second album from Jagged Vision, a Norwegian metallic hardcore band.
As a starting point for Jagged Vision’s sound, imagine a band like Black Tusk or Doomriders, add in some All Pigs Must Die, and then coat the entire thing in a violent metallic hardcore sheen.
Jagged Vision play a hardcore/sludge/metal mix that borrows from aspects of all styles, allowing the band to firmly cement their own personality. Continue reading “Jagged Vision – Death Is This World (Review)”
