Indie rock is definitely not my usual thing. I don’t have anything against the genre in particular (well, except for some of its listener’s attitudes…), especially considering how broad it is. The thing is, most of the time I just enjoy listening to other stuff much more. In fact, this album is the first indie […]

Here’s something sad for you. It’s not “d’aww abandoned puppy” sad, it’s “holy shit, I didn’t know human beings came this stupid” sad. Linkin Park doesn’t seem to have the most intelligent fanbase to begin with, but I believe I have found the crème de la crème, the gathering of the worst. Ladies and gentlemen, […]

Welcome to the first installment of Insights and Impressions (hopefully a placeholder name), a series in which I give backstory, facts and opinions on various artists, whether it’s because I have strong feelings about them, have something interesting to say about them, or both. I’m starting it off with Blue Öyster Cult for a few reasons. […]

A cookie for you if you know what band wrote that song. The coma is my Internet hiatus, and even though this post isn’t my first breath, it’s the first one on this blog… so the poetic title still applies. I know I said in my introductory post that I probably wouldn’t make any posts […]

Supposedly “there is no disputing about tastes”. But now that Latin is a dead language, I can disputand about gustibuses as much as I want. I’ll start exposing my musical tastes with the broadest genre I listen to, heavy metal. It’s actually much easier to say which of its subgenres I don’t listen to, most of […]

I’ll start this review by mentioning that for the most part I’m going to treat “old Earth” and “new Earth” as two different bands. While Earth’s first incarnation contributed to redefining doom metal and almost singlehandedly defined drone metal with the legendary Earth 2, it just was just something completely different… and not my cup of tea anyway. Modern […]

I started listening to this album as a clean slate, devoid of any opinions of Sodom, as this was my first contact with any of their music. And I have to admit, In War and Pieces is… one of the worst first impressions of a band I’ve heard in a while. My main gripe with this album […]

If I were to go back in time and tell the me of April 2010 that I’d not only be enjoying a black metal album, but also one by Burzum, I’d either laugh hysterically or punch myself in the face. However, after hearing Burzum’s previous album, Belus, I’ve never quite looked the same way at black […]

Everyone seems to hate Anthrax, so I felt compelled to write a review. And to be honest, I can understand why they’re such a controversial band. Pre-1990 Anthrax featured cleaner vocals than any other band in the genre, had a goofy image, borrowed a few things from punk and in general wasn’t a great example of […]

I actually have an excellent analogy for this album. Imagine it’s a roasted chicken leg. It has a really tasty layer of skin, plenty of good meat inside, and then there’s that small, annoying part of the bone which you have to pull off because it always gets in your way – the fibula, if […]
