Stub Reviews: April 2021
A monthly round up of some brief reviews for albums, EPs, and tracks we missed.
EP REVIEW | Ox Hunger | Gloss on the Blood
This is a fearful record for sure, but it is a fear that cannot ebb away simply because you are not in control of it. In other words, paranoia.
#169 | Track Reviews | Necrot, Black Palm, Voidbloom, Powerman 5000, Shifting, and Imperial Triumphant
Ramblings about new EPs and tracks off of upcoming records: crusty death metal, blistering mathcore neuroses, worming noise rock, and a myriad of other resonances.
#160 | Album Review | Old Man Gloom – Seminar IX: Darkness of Being
An album review podcast of the eighth LP, Seminar IX: Darkness of Being, from the noisy sludge metal behemoths, Old Man Gloom.
#152 | Retrospective Review | Murmuüre – Murmuüre
“Oh, come with old Khayyám, and leave the Wise
To talk; one thing is certain, that Life flies;
One thing is certain, and the Rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.”
#119 | Album Review | Zeresh – Farewell
Steeped in mysticism, Farewell’s amorphous and verdant folk compositions beckon us into an early onset of autumn.
#111 | Album Review | The Austerity Program – Bible Songs 1 (w/ Adam of Constant Disappointment Records)
“All the wrath of god, none of the salvation.”
#109 | Album Review | GRIZZLOR – COOLNESS FACTOR 6
Grab your makeshift wrenches and welding torches to keep this disheveled crew’s craft afloat as we strike murderous warp speed.
#106 | Interview | Dysphoria (Scathing Harsh Noise Wall)
Ashley Jane (Dysphoria) expounds upon her early explorations of noise and discusses how these experiments eventually culminated into her biting debut album, Salt & Piss.
#99 | Interview | Death Tape Super Bass (Process-Driven, Experimental Electronic Moodboards)
Alex of Death Tape Super Bass explains his reasoning for not adhering to a specific style of sound, the process by which he produces a track, and his innate desire to unearth new sounds to broaden his soundboard.
#98 | Interview | Mans Best Friend (Pensive Harsh Noise Drones)
From his auditory experiments, a keen sense of candidness percolates. And amidst what sounds like unbridled chaos and static froth curdling on the surface, the baritone drones undulating underfoot lull you into a trance-like state.
