KEN mode – VOID (Artoffact Records)

Having had the pleasure of bathing in KEN mode’s particular oily ooze whilst reviewing their last full-length album (2022s ‘Null’) it proved almost impossible to fully grasp what the band were attempting. Re reading the slightly hysterical and hyperbolic praise… Continue Reading →

Stormo – Endocannibalismo (Prosthetic)

Sitting as always in the office at the end of my garden, looking at the birds and the bees go about their business, blissfully unaware of anything, after what has been a challenging week of work-related bullshit and triviality, I… Continue Reading →

KEN mode – NULL (Artoffact Records)

There are times when you just know. When you know that something is right, just and beautiful. When it’s ripe, glowing and succulent. When it glows, pulsates, and engorges. This may sound like the prelude to either an overly dramatic… Continue Reading →

Bunuel – Killers Like Us (Profound Lore)

There’s a lot to unpick here when dissecting this, the third album from Bunuel, a supergroup of sorts from the malcontent, the ostracised, the damaged, the put upon, the depressed, the outliers, the three percent, the curious, the avant-garde and… Continue Reading →

Junkbreed – Music For Cool Kids (Raging Planet)

If you are looking for a cross-section of metallic sounds from Portugal, Raging Plant seem to be a good stop off point for discovering what is about on the scene. Junkbreed are presenting their debut album here and contain members… Continue Reading →

Kowloon Walled City – Piecework (Neurot Recordings)

Bleak, minimalist, sparse, cold and vast, just some of the words that come to mind when describing Oakland’s Kowloon Walled City who return with this, their first album in over six years. I must admit, straight out of the gate,… Continue Reading →

Valse Noot – Utter Contempt – (Atypeek Music)

It’s the end of a challenging, yet somewhat Groundhogian (it’s not a word but should be) week, where life has seemed to pass by, less like a blur but more like a slightly injured slug who’s been on the piss… Continue Reading →

Kevlar Bikini – OPT-OUTism (Geenger Records)

Although slightly late to this bikini party (story of my life), I really enjoyed this Croatian trio’s 3rd album Rants, Riffage And Rousing Rhythms released via Geenger Records back in 2018. Although not the sort of style that I would… Continue Reading →

Russian Circles – Blood Year (Sargent House)

Having just journeyed to Chicago on a work trip, I was amazed at how many music venues and venues playing host to live music there seemed to be. The city seemed to be steeped and influenced by music in a… Continue Reading →

Kevlar Bikini – Rants, Riffage and Rousing Rhythms (Geenger Records)

Grab a Kevlar Bikini, you too can look sexy in a war-zone and it’s guaranteed to confuse and distract your enemy! I can’t see such a fashion item catching on particularly but I am sure I have seen such accoutrements… Continue Reading →

Beast Modulus – Being (S/R)

I had absolutely no idea what this was going to sound like until I decided to just throw it in the player and find out. Apparently although now based in Brooklyn, Beast Modulus started out in New Orleans as a… Continue Reading →

Razor Sharp Death Blizzard – You Will Burn (From Beyond Records)

Off to Selkirk in Scotland for a slab of discontent via the descriptively named Razor Sharp Death Blizzard which in my mind brings a vision of a bunch of neds going at each other with all manner of lethal implements…. Continue Reading →
