Before I start today’s review, I should probably say that I am by no means a big doom metal connoisseur, I have had a few minor encounters when I was still looking for the direction I wanted to take and that’s about it. So please excuse the lack of comparisons that the aficionados among you […]

Cauldron – Chained to the Nite
When I was a little child there was one record, my former all-time favourite, which made me imagine that my playroom was an oversized drum kit. So just before joining my mother and father for the weekly Saturday evening game show, I took the Playmobil pirate ship’s mast and circus tent’s middle pole and drummed […]
Trash Monday CVI
Warning: what you’re about to witness doesn’t conform to the usual Trash Monday standards, it far exceeds anything you’ve ever heard or seen here in terms of WTF-ness. Make sure you watch this video with headphones on if you don’t want your coworkers/roommates/parents to assume you’re into seriously messed-up porn.

Issues – Issues
When Issues released their debut EP in late 2012, I was severely impressed by it and I was amply stoked when they announced that they would be recording a full-length in 2013. At the same time I had some minor doubts as to whether they could keep up the high level of the EP…luckily the […]
More Than A Thousand – Vol. 5 Lost At Home
They’re finally back! The Portuguese quintet More Than A Thousand has been working on their new record for quite a while and at some point it seemed that it might become the next Chinese Democracy. However, in early 2014 the band announced that Vol. 5 Lost At Home was going to be released on February […]
Trash Monday CV
This video is deeply satisfying on so many levels for me…something about fat people running after cheese burgers is just brilliant. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK-lGSYKaaM]
Versus You – Moving On
It’s been almost five years, but the arguably most well-known punk band, Versus You, from our small country is back with a new record called Moving On! The title fits exactly, since they have definitely evolved in this past half-decade: while they were always on the pop-punk side of the spectrum, this has become even […]
Sublind – Thrashing Delirium
Thrash is dead. Now, I know that’s a dangerous statement, so don’t get me wrong: thrash metal is anything but dead, but even the classic bands have adapted the modern sound that is so commonplace these days…and I guess that’s what happens at some point in the career of most bands. However, there are a […]
Trash Monday CIV
For those who think H.I.M. is a little too sophisticated musically, I suggest giving Angellis a go. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHTpu6EBHB0] -Luc-
2AM: The Smiling Man
As a frequenter of a subreddit called NoSleep, I was delighted to find that one of the most memorable creepypastas I’ve stumbled across was interpreted in film format last year. 2AM, directed and edited by Michael Evans of Go For Broke Pictures and starring Sean Simon and Paul Foltz, is based on a supposedly true […]
