Review: Ritual Carnage – I, Infidel
Ritual Carnage I, Infidel Osmose Productions Ritual Carnage = Hellchild + Hellbastard + Exodus There’s a lot of declaration in metal these days—“I, Monarch!” “I, Infidel!” What’s the deal? Anyway, stuff from Japan usually kicks ass, and there’s no exception here. This is good, solid thrashing death in the late 80s style complete with an

Review: Powd[e]r Pussy – Six Ways From Sunday
POWD[E]R PUSSY SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY Pflichtkauf “This is a pussy blowout!” The collaborative efforts of Ah-Cama Sotz and This Morn’ Omina is as impressive as the solo work from their individual projects. Six Ways from Sunday is where Pow[d]er Pussy converts anybody reluctant to listen to rhythm noise into a devoted fan. Twelve tracks
Review: Phazm – Hate at First Seed
Phazm Hate at First Seed Osmose Productions Phazm are a French band that sound more like Amebix than any of their death metal contemporaries. This came across during the first listen as kind of plain, as there weren’t any other elements added to their brand of brutal metal, but there is enough going on
Review: Orphx – Circuitbreaking
Orphx Circuitbreaking Hymen Inspired by reactions to the negative impacts of economic globalization by different groups around the world, Circuitbreaking is a compelling release that couldn’t come at a better time. Orphx began in the early 90’s as a group of three people experimenting with homemade instruments, found sounds and improvised rhythms. Working solo on
Review: Patrick Wolf – Wind In The Wires
PATRICK WOLF WIND IN THE WIRES Tomlab One moment you’re visiting the exotic world of Marc Almond’s cabaret, the next you’re The Divine Comedy channeling Morrissey at a piano bar, then you’re somewhere else and nowhere the same. There are acoustic guitars, strings, electronic grooves, beats and a whole heap of dramatics. Most artists would
Review: Origin – Echoes of Decimation
Origin Echoes of Decimation Relapse Records Clocking in with nine tracks (no intros!) in just under half an hour, you might suspect that Origin’s newest release in well over five years is fast. Oh, yes—it’s fast, alright. With members in the past having ties to Nile, Hate Eternal and other bands, you know what
Review: Peter Murphy – Unshattered
Peter Murphy Unshattered Viastar Odd how a Peter Murphy album can be released and some six months later, they’re finally sending it out to the press. I’ve had the album for quite some time now and even though my opinion of it has improved over time, Unshattered is a little hard to swallow. Still fresh
Review: Off the Cuff – Shake
Off the Cuff “Shake” Soulfuric Trax From northeast England, the production duo of “Off the Cuff” are Karl Frampton and Si Liliker. Welcoming them to the Soulfuric team with new single “Shake,” these folks know the nectar of the house fruit. Aside includes the swingin’ talent of Martin Ikin and Darren Giles for the “Solid
Review: Napalm Death -Leaders Not Followers: Part 2
Napalm Death Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 Century Media Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 is Napalm Death’s follow-up, believe it or not, to their 2000 release Leaders Not Followers. The originator of the series was a five song ep, six songs if you include the cleverly “hidden” Dead Kennedys song “Nazi Punks…”. Hidden tracks are
