Horror Movie Review: The Macabre (2022)
A horror anthology with a comedic edge, The Macabre has a ton of talent behind it, and the love and care that went into it, is clear from the very start. Is it a good film, though? Well, like most anthologies, it’s all about hits and misses. Except, The Macabre only has a few stories, so the misses are more prevalent than ever.

Album Review: Sundowner - Lysergic Ritual (Self Released)
Sundowner promise filthy and ugly sounding sludge and that is what we get with Lysergic Ritual. Eight tracks of uncouth noise, with varying tempos, and the nasty edge overall.
Australian purveyors of caustic and slow-burning sludge, Sundowner, return with their second full-length album, ‘Lysergic Ritual’. Out on April 20th, 2024.
With so many bands offering up music that crosses genre boundaries, it’s sometimes refreshing to listen to something that does exactly what it says it does. Something that isn’t trying to sound unique, looking to surprise, or to defy…

Luxembourgish electro-punk duo The X will release their brand-new EP, ‘The World Is Burning, Let’s Dance’, on April 22nd, 2024.
If this is the soundtrack to the end of the world, we’re all going to have a blast, courtesy of The X.

Album Review: ATER - Somber (Torque Records)
Grim.
Chile-based extreme metal three-piece, ATER, will release their brand-new album ‘Somber’ on April 19th, 2024, via Torque Records.
Grim. That is the first word that comes to mind upon hearing the opening track on this album, Striges. A beast of a track that showcases the layers of black, death, and progressive metal that exists in this album and all within a two-minute and thirty-three second…

Horror Movie Review: Die Influencers Die (2020)
Do you like metal music? Do you enjoy lots of blood and guts? What about boobs? How about incessant mocking of the vapid influencer lifestyle? If you answered yes to some or all of those, then Die Influencers Die thinks you’re going to like what it has to offer.

You won’t though, because it is thrashy and sleazy, but not in a fun way. Not only that, it’s pretty basic and lacking in imagination.…

Horror Short Review: The Noise (2024)
Those behind The Noise (details are light with only Roman appearing at the start and end) could do with learning a lot. Particularly what a good horror short looks like.
I’m always a little wary of horror shorts on YouTube that have comments disabled. While that place can be pretty ruthless and there are some terrible people online, you have to be willing to open yourself up as a creator. Taking the praise and the criticism in equal measure, and hopefully learning from it.
