Review :: Angelspit :: Blood Death Ivory

After several months offline, Igor is back to talk about new music he likes!

Stiff Valentine (Can) - Loveless Review

The members of Stiff Valentine describe their blend of music as “industrial metal disco” (well that’s what some mag said), which rings true with their mix of electro, guttural screamo vocals and heavy guitar riffs found on their EP, Loveless. There is also a strong anger pumping through these songs as evidenced by the almost [...]

Nine Inch Nails Ghosts I-IV Review

Advertising various products and thinggies in the blog recently has helped me get a little online stash allowing for purchases of things like games and music. About two weeks ago I bought and downloaded Nine Inch Nails’ Ghosts I-IV purely instrumental release. I have listened to the entire series a couple of times and I [...]

Podcasts that rock :: Scott Sigler’s Horrorcasts

For the two years I have been under the influence of iPod. My little black nano has been my entertainment center with my music along with various podcasts. However, the last year has seen me move away from music to more talk-radio (mostly lefty stuff) and podcast theater and audio novels. Today I would like [...]

This initial sign-up was a breeze, just put your e-mail and wait for the mail from Buzzfuse. Unfortunately I received a [...]

Lorin Richards :: Enki :: Review

Originally released in 1999 Lorin Richards’ Enki album harkens back to the dark electronic music of the 80s. One name in particular keeps coming to mind - Gary Neuman. If you are a fan of electronica from the 80’s and 90’s then you should enjoy Enki by Lorin Richards.
From the Product Description at Amazon:
Enki [...]

The band has five samples and one full recording available in MP3 format on the site (just click on [...]

The Royal Dead :: Lycanthrope :: Review

The Royal Dead (ex. Phantasmagoria) released this Maxi-single CD way back in 2005 (and there’s a new full album out now so this review is behind the times!). The Maxi-single CD contains five tracks, but it is more like a three-track single CD with a prologue and epilogue added in. It is a concept mini-album [...]
