Junkowl – Making Out With My Death
7/10 It’s crazy when you think of how many different sub-genres there are out there; grindgaze, nerdcore, twinkle emo. I could go on all day. The reason I bring this up is because Making Out […]

River Rats – Stayin’ In
6.5/10 I was wondering how long it would be before I got assigned some sort of quarantine album and, buddy, this might be as close as it gets. Stayin’ In is the debut album from […]

Montener the Menace – I Have a Hidden Hobby
8.8/10 Quite an anomaly this Montener the Menace; little to no social media presence and an album released in 2020 that was recorded twelve years ago! You heard right. Then again, there’s a lot about […]

Where Do You Draw The Line? Separating Art From The Artist

8.5/10 Tool, Mastodon, Neurosis. Three bands that are known for being absolute juggernauts in the progressive and post-metal genres. Their ability to weave musical tapestries and bring life to aural constructs is nothing short of […]

Deathcraeft – On Human Devolution
7.5/10 On Human Devolution is the debut full-length from Greek metal band Deathcraeft. The brainchild of guitarist Kostas Kalampokas, Deathcraeft grabs a battle axe and chops up aspects black metal, thrash, and death metal and […]

Rearviewmirror: Remembering the 90s – Beck – Odelay
90s score: 8.5/10 Today’s score: 10/10 Beck, the master of reinvention. I decree that no artist rides the fence between reinvention and staying true to their sound as well as the perdedor himself. On 1996’s […]

If you don’t like AC/DC, then you don’t like rock music
You’ve probably heard it before. AC/DC makes the same album and writes the same songs repeatedly. They are juvenile, crude, and possibly misogynistic simpletons who are overrated and don’t deserve the acclaim that they get. […]
