Dunnock – Little Stories Told by Ghosts Review

By Eldritch Elitist on May 31, 2018 in 2018, Acephale Winter Productions, American Metal, Black Metal, Experimental Metal, Reviews, 96 comments

“I am a particularly busy man. I’m married with a toddler who requires extra attention due to special needs. I hold down two jobs that currently occupy all seven days of my week. And yet I do my best to hold to my commitment of contributing at least one review to this blog each week; not just for the benefit of you, dear reader, but also for the artists who pour their hearts and souls into their music. I’ve never reviewed a record whose artistic vision and intent has eluded me; good or bad, I’ve always been able to sense the passion and the love for the craft. But Dunnock… oh, Dunnock.” Little music.

Reverorum ib Malacht – Im Ra Distare Summum Soveris Seris Vas innoble Review

By Grymm on May 17, 2018 in 2018, Annapurna, Black Metal, Reviews, Swedish Metal, Black Metal, 129 comments

“When a band, such as Sweden’s Reverorum ib Malacht, takes on a slant when it comes to lyrical matter and atmosphere, my curiosity gets the better of me, and on their fourth album, the wordy Im Ra Distare Summum Soveris Seris Vas innoble, I tossed caution to the wind, and embraced the thought of unblack metal with an open mind, and an open heart…” Open heart, insert foot.

Until The Sky Dies – The Year Zero Blueprint Review

By GardensTale on November 10, 2017 in 2017, American Metal, Avante Garde, Cimmerian Shade Recordings, Doom Metal, Reviews, Doom Metal, 146 comments

“I admit it, I can be a sadistic reviewer. Finding a truly, deeply terrible album gives me a certain perverse glee at the prospect of creatively tearing the malformed afterbirth to ribbons. The feeling is generally strong enough to overpower the dry heaves and stomach-clenching nausea of actually listening to it. But I have found my Waterloo.” The sky is falling (and dying).

Blind Seer – Apocalypse 2.0 Review

By GardensTale on July 22, 2017 in 2017, Belgian Metal, Massacre Records, Progressive Metal, Reviews, Progressive Metal, 92 comments

“Just like some albums are growers, you occasionally encounter one that takes time to reveal itself as garbage. It may seem like a potentially good time, but repeat listens magnify all the flaws to the point you can no longer fathom what attracted you in the first place. Not so with Apocalypse 2.0, an ostensibly progressive metal album by Blind Seer. I knew for a fact this was garbage after exactly nine seconds.” Seer the ear.

Project Theory – Something between Us Review

By Diabolus in Muzaka on October 9, 2016 in 2016, Greek Metal, Rap Metal, Reviews, Sliptrick Records, Rap Metal, 70 comments

“Given that I have a great relationship with my father, didn’t get bullied in high school, and don’t hate my hometown, my qualifications to review nu-metal are basically nil. Alas, I’ve made my superiors here rather upset in some way, shape, or form and have been duly saddled with a Greek nu-metal opus in the form of Project Theory’s Something between Us.” Ouch.

Tetragrammacide – Typhonian Wormholes: Indecipherable Antistructural Formulae Review

By Grymm on November 10, 2015 in 2015, Black Metal, Iron Bonehead Productions, Reviews, Black Metal, Noise Metal, 97 comments

“I like to think, two years into my writing gig here at Angry Metal Guy, that I would have a pretty solid idea as to how to approach a review at any given time. Listen to an album over and over, look up band’s page, throw together some lofty or detrimental words, give it a number, and *BOOM!* Pictures, publish, print, next. But there will come a time when a band puts out an album where you’re perplexed as to how to approach, grade, or even talk about it.” From India with hate.
