I am going to put on the debut after this and turn off all the lights and ramp up the incense. Good night world.

I am at the point of utter despair with the world. After millions marched against the Iraq war in the UK and were easily ignored I knew the good times were over.

Manifesting as blackened post-metal, the artist behind Miasme has managed to take a range of influences and combine them effectively into something with a voice of its own

Going through my bandcamp Wishlist and rediscovered this tremendous #screamo ep which came out in 2025. Delicious traditional screamo guitar tones. Great compositions.

My top 9 albums of 2025
Holy shit... what a year for music. Anyone who says "Music isn't as good as it used to be" isn't listening. There is so much of it, it's impossible that there's nothing out there for them.

YEARLIST. I love this to bits, and I have done this for twenty years now. From tomorrow onwards, I'll start sharing my top 30 of the year. But I first want to start with some shout-outs, records that I really liked but that just fell short. I still love them.

Just been pointed out to me how similar the wording of Ricks write up of the Dimscûa release is to my original review!
Copy pasta or AI?
Poor show for a music publication.

Took a little break, but let's continue back with some more heavy stuff! Here are my 2025 picks for SCREAMO/METALCORE! This is also kinda broad though, as it mostly just features punk/metal/emo crossover genres with lots of harsh vocals.
