Dumal, 'The Trials of Existence' (@bolverkcollective.bsky.social/Death Sculpted/Alte Seelen)
Black metal beasts Dumal maul with hellish energy that bleeds on burly ‘The Trials of Existence’
There’s a lot of black metal. A LOT of it. So much so that it’s hard to retain even a fraction of it in my brain. That’s a tiny little problem, honestly, when there is so much weighing down on us e…

Moisturize. Finally enjoy the weekend for a change. Laugh at your hometown sports team. Call offensive plays like it's 1958. Listen to Anthrax. And Crypt Sermon. Challenge your driving anxiety. Enjoy a forest. Pet a dog. And a cat. Watch your cat heal and become, Iike, a big food jerk. ❤️
What a cowardly red zone performance for whoever is calling plays for the Colts.
About 3/4 of the way through this new Anthrax. There's some of their heaviest shit in a while on here. Plus they're old white guys explicitly not going conservative. Fuck, this 'NYC 93' track smokes.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Noctule slash into ‘Elden Ring’ lore with killer, fiery opus ‘Extinguish Thy Flame’
I wish I was more of a videogame guy. I’m not not, as I have multiple systems and games, but I think it’s the ADHD in me that prevents me from truly immersing myself in a campaign and seeing it thr…

Death. Void. Terror. 'The the Great Monolith III: Rifts' (Sentient Ruin)
Death. Void. Terror. mesmerize with doomy dreamscapes on icy beast ‘To the Great Monolith III…’
For some reason when it gets around my birthday, my mood sours, and I feel about as bad as I do all year. It’s not the aging. I’d rather age than not, even if everything is spiraling out of control…

Helen and I have beers and marvel at the awful video quality of Brian's new laptop. Ugh.

Moisturize. Use a folding chair as a weapon. Ruin your own birthday. Enjoy watching your cat heal. Stiff arm a DB into the goddamn earth. Drink good coffee that isn't an experience. Watch lucha. Embrace your community but also expect better from it. And you. Listen to Witching. Buy physical media.
An aged rarity. 52 arrives, and I'm cool with it.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Early Moods hit fiery, energetic, vintage metallic powers on ‘Ready for the Grave’
The summer is coming to an end, though at the time I write this it’s in the mid-90s, and that’s one of the cooler areas in the country right now. Maybe it was from growing up, but the waning days s…

Chat Pile unsheathe disgust for societal, data horrors choking us out with ‘Who Loves the Sun’

Hanging Garden’s tech metal prowess floods further into strange chaos on ‘Dream Death’
The amount of artists twisting death metal to its physical and mental limits has ballooned in recent years, which is expected when bands such as Gorguts and Krallice and Atheist and others have spe…

Moisturize. Embrace goodness. Take a walk. All hail Andy Williams. Have a beer, man. Try to find a way. Give your dog safe vegetables. Get your old lady cat dental surgery and watch her be so happy without pain. Enjoy eternity in the stars, Big Mike. Thanks for reconnecting.
I already don't give a single fuck about this Sunday Night's Main Event.
Drink beer. Listen to Ebolarama. Come on, Andy. Kick out at 2.99999.
The new Chat Pile feels like a big step up, and they didn't need to take a step up.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Dreadnought’s aim gets sharper, more direct on ‘Wars of Spirits//Wards of Light’

Jess By the Lake light skies with natural energy, spark heartfelt expression on simmering ‘Human’

Filth, 'Death Exhibition' (Rotted Life/Me Saco Un Ojo)
Swedish metal horde Filth mash with gruesome power, precision on smothering ‘Death Exhibition’
Calling your band Filth is a pretty big swing. It’s bold in that it uses an everyday word instead of some strange moniker that might stick in your mind easier. It also puts expectations on their mu…

Moisturize. Eat pizzas. Watch like 15 hours of wrestling. Pretty much enjoy all 15 hours. Break your nose and have an incredible match. All hail Dolly. No one reading this is better than she was. Sure as fuck the person writing this isn't better. Pet dogs. Buy records. All hail Tim Curry. Doughnuts.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Russian Circles explode with power, humanity, electrify with emotion on ‘Nine’
Photo by Chris Strong I am pretty sure it won’t be long until I get a promo from some publicist who is delivering an all-AI metal band. Those are out there, I’m sure, but that dreck hasn’t washed u…

Veilcaste mash doom metal with justifiable anger, frustrations on grimy, devastating ‘Hellward’
