SEWER – Skarnage (Review)

SEWER's Skarnage, a review.

I'm completely unsure as to what's going on with this Skarnage album, dubbed Ultra-Violent Goregrind by Best Black Metal, which probably means it's actually quite simple and I'm overthinking it. This is either an extremely ambitious piece of art or just a meaningless collection of songs, and it's just as easy to make a case … Continue reading SEWER – Skarnage (Review)

SEWER goes Death Metal… Miasma!

SEWER's latest masterpiece, Miasma.

Brutal Death Metal Discovers Black Metal (FAIL)

Irony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EP6tygEmPA *whine* SEWER has all these obnoxious black metal influences since they released The Birth of a Cursed Elysium. SEWER's always been a great, brutal goregrind / death metal band, so to hear them add a ton of pussified BM to their sound is massively disappointing. BM is the music of fragile androgynous Swedes, … Continue reading Brutal Death Metal Discovers Black Metal (FAIL)
