My old buddy Curtis Dewar asked how I would keep up with all the blog stuff once the school year resumed; I told him I had no idea! But somehow, it all continues… In the car, I’ve mostly been listening to Misfits’ American Psycho, Valkyrie’s Shadows, and a burned disc with some Brimstone Coven, Witch… Continue reading Listening Lately: Tantivy, Caravan of Doom, and Many More

Listening Lately: Vestal Claret (Again!) and Drainbow
It’s gettin’ hot in the late July blogosphere…. Today we’ve got Vestal Claret’s just-released remix of their 2011 debut album Bloodbath and Drainbow’s upcoming LP The Tower of Flints blaring from the laptop speakers. Vestal Claret is a band that pushes boundaries; they were doing occult metal before its trendy resurgence, as early as 2006. … Continue reading Listening Lately: Vestal Claret (Again!) and Drainbow
Listening Lately: Brimstone Coven, Khemmis, and Slow Draw
I belong to a dying breed of music listeners that still burns CDs and plays them in the car. Here’s what’s been in rotation this past week: Brimstone Coven’s new album The Woes of A Mortal Earth is due out August 21st through Ripple Music. A spin of the promo on the ride to Grandma’s… Continue reading Listening Lately: Brimstone Coven, Khemmis, and Slow Draw
Listening Lately: Covet, The Hawkins, and Curse the Son

The mostly-instrumental California trio serves up an engaging sophomore album; effervescent guitar riffs perform a… Continue reading Listening Lately: Covet, The Hawkins, and Curse the Son

Due out via Metal Blade on May 29th, the classic Swedish outfit tells a tale of medieval witch hunts from a variety of perspectives —… Continue reading Listening Lately: Monday Afternoon Quarantine with Sorcerer, Black Rainbows, and Volcanova
Listening Lately: Scissorfight, Year of the Cobra, and More
The Corolla of Doom has been traded in for the Forester of Doom, but the burned CDs will never be replaced. Here’s what I’ve been listening to in my car lately… If House of A Thousand Corpses and Sons of Anarchy got into a scissor fight at a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, it would sound like… … Continue reading Listening Lately: Scissorfight, Year of the Cobra, and More
Listening Lately: Good Things to Come From Atavistia, QOHELETH, and Vestal Claret
Covering the underground of the underground isn’t as glorious as it looks… But I love to do it because even if I deleted the promo of “the new Blood Incantation it’s so sick have you heard it,” I do come across gems that won’t be unknown for long, or works that show pockets of dedication… Continue reading Listening Lately: Good Things to Come From Atavistia, QOHELETH, and Vestal Claret
