The Tale of Vlad Țepeș part 2
Days ov Yore
The promise holds: "no fantasy or vampire tales here." What changes is the scale of the album and sound, as Days ov Yore pushes the whole production toward full-blown epic theater.
The Underground
A digital space for the extreme and the fringe.
Extreme is everything metal and hardcore. Fringe is everything alternative, synth, post-punk, shoegaze, and the strange lands in between. We exist for artists doing serious work at the edges of meaningful music.

American Silence
US Golft 95
American Silence joins a long vaporwave habit of looking at the United States from the outside, through a screen, where the mall and the cul-de-sac blur into one exported dream.

A Dry and Thirsty Land
NMDS_HxC
NMDS’ new release, A Dry and Thirsty Land, combines all the right elements for a powerful and exciting hardcore record, and it has become one of my favorite releases of the year so far.

The Prince Of This World And Death Are Fleeting
Eternal Gaze
The Prince Of This World And Death Are Fleeting features nine tracks in fifty minutes, with a collaboration with Heffernoise on synth, and shows how he has tackled more numinous, ethereal territory in creative, inventive ways. It’s truly a standout album from the artist, a grittier record, and the Christian extreme metal scene at large.

Wedding Photos
Pieti
Like all great albums, Wedding Photos transforms themes of deception into sacrifice, darkness into beatitude, and goes out the far side toward worship and family.
Review
Going Home
Latter Day Exploits
Do you feel like cranking up some doom metal for the next thirty-nine minutes? And you're aware that means only four songs? Latter Day Exploits' recent album, Going Home, runs that deep, and every song moves like a massive storm.
P4LEHORSE Pick
Hurdy-gurdy drones plunge into a Middle Ages groove, and shanty-like chants rise like a tavern full of bards singing the very story we're hearing. Then the floor drops out into a monumental black metal anthem.Days ov Yore · The Tale of Vlad Țepeș part 2
