Music Review Iron Reagan’s “Crossover Ministry” Will Exorcise Your Post-Election Demons Karila Shannis, February 4, 2017February 5, 2017 Editor’s Note: Move over, “Art of Partying.” My new anthem is “Fuck the Neighbors.” If there’s any truth to the general predictions of more profoundly heavy music emerging due to our current political shitstorm, Iron Reagan is already ten steps ahead.

Music Review Metal Life album review – Repulsive Vision – Look Past the Gore and See The Art Amon Crow, January 16, 2017 Repulsive Vision’s “Look Past the Gore and See the Art” begins in panic: the first track is a fever-dream maelstrom of slasher-film samples, urgently warning against the rampant dangers of metal music that encourage “sex abuse, sadism, cannibalism, necrophilia, infanticide, mutilation, molestation, and death.” What follows is an assault of… Continue Reading

Music Review Album Life On The Road By David Brent- The Album That Needed To Be Made Diana Marsh, August 31, 2016August 31, 2016 “Live Fast, Die Old“ Painfully funny and yet astonishingly awkward, Life On The Road is an album that will have you both laughing and cringing from beginning to end. It is a solid combination of David Brent’s shameless social missteps and Ricky Gervais biting humor bathed in the stage lights… Continue Reading
Music Review H.P Lovecraft’s ‘The Lurking Fear’ Gets A Reboot Diana Marsh, June 28, 2016June 28, 2016 “Shrieking, slithering, torrential shadows of red viscous madness chasing one another through endless, ensanguined corridors of purple fulgorous sky… formless phantasms and kaleidoscopic mutations of a ghoulish, remembered scene; forests of monstrous overnourished oaks with serpent roots twisting and sucking unnamable juices from an earth verminous with millions of… Continue Reading
