Artist: Selbst Album Title: Despondency Chord Progressions Label: Debemur Morti Productions Date of Release: 19 April 2024 I do believe that this is a first for me, in that I find myself reviewing a musical entity from Venezuela. It’s not the first country to spring to mind when thinking about heavy music, especially the kind  Continue Reading »

Artist: Replicant Album Title: Infinite Mortality Label: Transcending Obscurity Date of Release: 12 April 2024 2024 definitely feels like it’s the year that my tastes get even heavier and more extreme.

Artist: Witch Vomit Album Title: Funeral Sanctum Label: 20 Buck Spin Date of Release: 5 April 2024 Being the weak human that I am, I finally succumbed to the increasing chorus of positivity surrounding this album and checked it out.

Artist: Hour Of Penance Album Title: Devotion Label: Agonia Records Date of Release: 5 April 2024 Yeck, yuck, and thrice yuck. The AI debate will rage on and on for months, years, maybe decades. Who knows where the subject will end. But, in 2024, I am one of the music fans in the camp that  Continue Reading »

Artist: Vorga Album Title: Beyond The Palest Star Label: Transcending Obscurity Date of Release: 29 March 2024 A couple of years ago, out of nowhere, I was left thoroughly impressed with an album called ‘Striving Towards Oblivion’. It happened to be the debut full-length from a German trio by the name of Vorga, and it  Continue Reading »
