  • The Ditch and the Delta – We Rust EP

    The Ditch and the Delta – We Rust EP

    Over the past couple year’s one band in particular has been making a buzz in Salt Lake City and that band is Subrosa. The Ditch and the Delta is another such band from the same city that is up to the challenge of following in their footsteps. The band consists of Elliot Secrist (Guitar / Vocals),…

  • Northumbria and Famine – Blood Orchid

    Northumbria and Famine – Blood Orchid

    Blood Orchid is a nearly 16-minute live collaboration between Northumbria and Famine. The ambient drone unfolds over an expanse of time that feels much longer than it actually is because of how deeply you can get lost in it and lose your sense of reality. It feels futuristic and ancient at the same time as…

  • Ministry – From Beer to Eternity

    Ministry – From Beer to Eternity

    By Bill Adams For the last thirty-two years, Al Jourgensen and Ministry have been the purveyors of a fine form of subversive songwriting which has regularly pulled the rug out from under the genre they were working in at that moment. Be it electronic music or metal, the wit and subversive bent of the music…

  • Black Space Riders – D:REI

    Black Space Riders – D:REI

    When I first reviewed this German band of Lars Ulrich lookalikes’ (seriously, the band photo in the press pack is uncanny) debut album, I made some remark about how it must be a concept album cuz every song had the word “black” in the title. Well, now they’ve gone and released a proper concept album,…

  • Corrections House – Last City Zero

    By Gruesome Greg Q: What do you get when you put Mike Williams, Scott Kelly, Bruce Lamont and Sanford Parker in one building? A: Corrections House. (And with a lineup like that, you know it’s gotta be good!) That said, if you were expecting a 75-minute barrage of epic post-sludge metal complete with garbled razorwire…

  • AtomA – Skylight

    AtomA – Skylight

    Skylight is a science fiction concept album, a sonic escape from the end of the world. As any musical journey through space should be, AtomA’s debut is rich with spectral textures and dramatic development.

  • Skinny Puppy – HanDover

    With that being said, grab your headphones, turn down the lights and let the music take over. This is an album not to be missed.

  • 16 Volt/ Chemlab/ Left Spine Down @ Neu+ral, Toronto, ON, May 10, 2010

    16 Volt is the project of Eric Powell. The tour included KMFDM’s Steve White. For a group that included some borrowed musicians due to the inability for some of the regular players to cross the border, the sound was quite cohesive. While Powell may not be personable with the crowd as Louche he still knew…

  • Umbah – Trilobeth

    Trilobeth doesn’t offer much of in terms of a focused style, but its seeming adaptability and multiplicity are its strengths. It’s a release that is a musical tribute to our technological and frenzied reality.
