Posted on March 30, 2023 by deshift00

Posted on March 28, 2023 by deshift00

Slovakian outsider artist Nicholas Wintzler presents us with yet another experimental and extremely personal album titled Holuby v mláke which roughly translates to Pigeons in the Puddle in English.

Skin Tension – Celebrant

Posted on March 16, 2023 by deshift00

This is the latest audial assault from the noise warlocks Josh Byrd and Edward Longo who form Skin Tension. This album, Celebrant, is a massive album, with only five tracks. There’s no point in me sitting here and listing all of the genres and sounds that have influenced this release, and this band in general,…

Thumos returns with their second full length album Symposium. This is another journey into the philosophical themes of the ancient Greeks, this time bringing us into Plato’s Symposium.

Hailing from the US comes one man black metal project known as Bloodlet Throne. This is their second full length record, consisting of raw, harsh black metal with hypnotic riffs, and grizzly vocals.
