Hailing from the heart of the Enchanted Mountains, Kiukinberg presents us with their second offering Adorn My Flesh in Shadows. This is a punky and wicked sounding black metal release. Grainy and raw guitars, very forward sounding and punchy drums, and bewitching vocals that screech like a damned soul. So much energy and force behind…
Hailing from Brazil, Crimson Tower, presents us with their debut offering Aeternal Abyss. An epic and classic sounding doom metal album that revives the classic sounds of heavy metal. Meaty riffs, punchy drums, and wailing vocals that drip with emotion. The production is also old school, having that vintage raw feeling reminiscent of bands like…
Some of the greatest works of art have been inspired by sleep, or a lack there of. Petar Lukić, or known more simply as ‘Luke Itch’, took a drink from that fountain of inspiration and released his debut EP, Sleep Studies. A powerful and contemplative piano piece that really captures that dream-like state we all…
Misanthropæ is a blackened grindcore band hailing from New York. That seems like an uncommon description for a band, and it is. What this debut full length is in reality is an emotionally devastating assault on one’s musical resilience and stamina. This album is one full length of straight blast beats and it is incredible….

Serpenthanas is a mysterious act that came crawling forth from the shadows. Dropping out of no where on the Perverse Homage label. These occultists have released a demo of epic proportions. Filled with cold and creative riffs, twisted vocals, and furious drumming, quite the hard hitting release. With raw production and incredibly creative songwriting, its…
Independent Spanish warmongers known as Warslaughter fire off their first full length release Autofagia, a dense, guttural, and disgusting album filled with twisted and demonic utterings from what ever dark depths these guys crawled out from.

The 10 books of Plato are incredibly deep concepts and stories that have set the foundation of modern day thinking. If you’re somewhat familiar with Plato and his works, these won’t come as…
Debuting from Oslo, Norway, Syndexioi presents us with their first full length album filled with nostalgic meditations of the past, Sol Begravd.
