Russia’s brutal technical death metal band Neurogenic will release their debut EP, Ouroboric Stagnation on September 2nd. You can now stream “Spirited Bloody Emesis” on bandcamp, and it’s very representative of the rest of the album. At exactly 25 minutes of running length, it’s pretty short for an album, but it’s to be expected from that genre. The riffs are interesting and sound unique to that band, the singing consists of, in typical grind fashion, a mix of death growls and pig squeals. The production is a bit harsh, but that’s also a staple of the genre. Overall, it’s a … Read more
Mini-Reviews II
Back at it for mini-reviews, the second!
First up is a double release from Anthony Weis, consisting of Sound Continuous, and SC Singles.

The influence by both Stolt and Anderson’s previous works are apparent, but the blending of them is perfect. The vinyl edition of this album is something I’ll be… Read moreMini-Reviews I
Since the OSR pretty much lost its meaning because I used more than one sentence, I think we should celebrate the series’s new name. Click here to celebrate. Without further ado, let’s dive in.
Grammatical Nazism on Title Capitalisation in Music
Here’s my coming out. I’m a grammar nazi! I’m not the best at it – English is only my second language -, but I can be irrationally rigid on mistakes made in text, and feel offended when people leave a few of them through. I’m also a fairly regular offender of my own rules, as I hate – HATE! – to read what I just wrote in order to find minute errors to correct. I don’t have the time nor concentration to do this, the first draft is almost always the final draft. What even is this introduction? It strayed … Read more
