Your No. 1 Source For Extreme And Atmospheric Music And Film.

Author George Caley

My introduction to Metal and all things alternative came at the age of 11. I was already beginning to enjoy music and was soon pointed in the direction of Iron Maiden and Motorhead. A love of music developed from here delving into all manner of genres over the years as well as regularly attending gigs. By the time I was 16 I moved onto the heavier side of the Metallic die. It was at this point that I also wanted to give something back to the music world, I'd already failed at playing an instrument and so looked to reviewing. I started a YouTube channel in 2010 under the name ThatzNOTmetaL and over the next 5 years created a wealth of content, my music taste however was still expanding. After numerous changes and so forth I diversified into written media via a short lived e-zine called Eargore which in 2016 became a blog called Gore Crazy. Over the years I've learnt a lot about music and reviewing in general, so really I've now got my wish to give something back to the world of music that I adore.

Ofdrykkja – After The Storm (AOP Records)

Watching a band’s journey is something as a reviewer and fan I particularly enjoy. Today we look to a band whom I have formed quite the connection with over the years. That band is Ofdrykkja, their debut A Life Worth… Continue Reading →

Desecrate The Faith – III (Comatose)

Satan and gore, what more do you need in your music? Well maybe a bit of the old Texan Brutal Death wouldn’t go amiss. Such is the case with our unholy disciples of the day Desecrate The Faith. Having formed… Continue Reading →

Acid Witch – Rot Among Us (Hell’s Headbangers)

The spooky season may be over for some but for Acid Witch it truly is Halloween every day. Opening up their tombs in 2007 the band went on to produce Witchtanic Hellucinations in 2008 and the equally popular Stoned in… Continue Reading →

Coathanger Abortion – Plan C (Comatose)

Get a bowl, chuck in a hideous name, yeah, Coathanger Abortion that’ll do. Shall they be American, hell yeah they should be. How about their label? Well, let’s make it someone reliable like Comatose. Okay, there we go a recipe… Continue Reading →

Power From Hell – Shadows Devouring Light (Debemur Morti)

My favourite thing about Metal is when Metal references Metal and I can only assume that this is the case with Power From Hell. Whom if they haven’t plied their name from the Onslaught album of the same name then… Continue Reading →

Castrator – Defiled In Oblivion (Dark Descent)

It’s always nice to see bands going ahead with cool concepts and today we bear witness to the all female and indeed feminist driven Death Metal act Castrator. After much chat in years past about the genre being misogynistic it’s… Continue Reading →

Molder- Engrossed In Decay (Prosthetic)

Having formed in 2017 the Illinois based Death Metal act Molder have certainly been putting a lot of effort into getting to where they are today. Kicking off their career with a slew of live records (something I particularly like… Continue Reading →

Texas Murder Crew – Wrapped In Their Blood (Comatose)

Texas is a definite hub for some huge Brutal Death Metal talent, Devourment and Viral Load particularly spring to mind. However, we can always do with some fresh faces on the scene and this time we’re talking about Texas Murder… Continue Reading →

Gronibard – Regarde Les Hommes Sucer (Season Of Mist)

Quite a few years back I never really registered Grind, or at least subgenres of Grind like Porno, Gore and Noise as music I would enjoy. I don’t really know why, I mean I loved the comedy element of Slam,… Continue Reading →

Epitaphe – II (Aesthetic Death)

It’s nice when those little surprises pay off. As a teenager blind buying was commonplace for me, now in the digital age and with a wealth of Metal knowledge (if I do say so myself) there isn’t much I’m surprised… Continue Reading →

Corpsessed – Succumb To Rot (Dark Descent)

Sometimes I think that modern Death Metal, like standard Death Metal can be a bit boring. It’s kind of like replicating something which already blew up in a less exciting fashion. Similar to the modern Thrash boom that appeared spearheaded… Continue Reading →

Dark Funeral – We Are The Apocalypse (Century Media)

I’ve spoken in the past about how I dislike the whole thought process of catchy is lame or false, it’s simply not the case. Music is there to be enjoyed and as pathetic as it sounds sometimes that means I… Continue Reading →
