BOG STENCHMARE

  Unending Rotting Cycle opens with a Doomy Death introduction, then transcending into OSDM. It has the classic Death/Doom/HM2 crossover vibes in the vein of Autopsy/Cianide, and such, then throw in some horror based classic death metal, and we are presented with Putrevore’s new offering Unending Rotten Cycle . There are good tempo changes throughout the album, and the production is not too clean to lose the rawness. Strong riffs, drums, solid vocals and are on point, and quite lo-fi ish vibe to the album. Enjoyable relentless headbanging. Direct and ear grabbing In closing: Not bad at all. Think of a bogey that has escaped planet nasty pants, it’s arrived and is a seed of dirt ridden mosh eager to fly around spreading dirt ridden death metal designed not to be forgettable. Furious OSDM with a Death Doomy beginning on the first track.  Putrevore https://www.facebook.com/putrevore https://www.xtreemmusic.com/

Malignant Cognition is very solid Brutal Death Metal with strong riffs and bestial gutturals. The drums are a little of a hitting a pot sound sometimes, but it doesn’t really bother Bog considering his love of grindcore and hardcore, which can be much rougher. This is all about the heavies, swinging heads around that are full of sweat and parting with buckets of it. Would be best served to play in a venue with no air conditioning, so the sweat can fall off the ceiling back to the pit below. Bog also would like to note the good album cover, pretty sick artwork.  Sometimes, there is no shame standing up and saying, 'I’ve never been kicked in the balls so hard as when I listened to Architectural Genocide .' In closing: 23 mins of beautiful carnage and very enjoyable listen for fans of Brutal Death and extreme heavy music.  Architectural Genocide: https://www.facebook.com/architecturalgenocide/ https://www.comatosemusic.com/

Dis claimer, incredibly backlogged, which is why Bog has struggled to update during the previous month. There is a long review due to be posted for an electronic genre submitted from Strict Tempo , but other write ups will be  shorter until a comfortable position is found again soon. Regards and thank you, Bog! 

  CRUENTUS return with forthcoming album End Without End due for release on October 3rd, via Kvlt Und Kaos Productions . When you start listening to the LP, it will soon become apparent that it's something different and is a balanced album. It's intelligently composed music, which hopefully receives the credit and recognition, and not easily passed by. It's not the usual tropes, obviously the music hooks you in, then you can see that there are different concepts, which adds to the satisfying feeling experienced when listening.  Vocally, CRUENTUS doesn't sound like a haunted paper bag in the cellar angry that it couldn't watch the latest episode of Knitting Watch with Auntie Fanny. Vocals are raw, aggressive, but not to the point with some bands where it does indeed sound like that angry flying bag with the air passing through, I guess washing machine production.  Musically, End Without End is extremely balanced and structured to offer fast, medium, and slow part...

Beautiful Freakin' Weirdo released Zap The Fear a few months ago and is an Industrial Metal offering featuring 3 high octane tracks through a lyrical, and musical journey about real world hell and the psychological connection to it. I am Fire   has an upbeat rhythm with a consistent pace designed to keep people on the dance floor. It's kind of a mix between Static X with Rob Zombie with a slow acid techno hook coming around 2 minutes in. The vocals deliver the chorus effectively with a catchy riff serving as the signature for the song along with a fast paced beat for the drums with fairly high BPM. Psychohead continues on from the fast opening to maintain the pace and not allow people to leave the dancefloor. The drums are particularly good on this track, and support the guitars and vocals nicely. Vocals again deliver the lyrics and their message clear with a chorus for fans to sing along, or shout out on the dance floor. Pyschohead is definitely more on the metal side compa...

  FÆNGS new single  Leviathan  is a b eautiful dark track, which could be taken straight from a sci-fi film with sprawling sky scrapers and cars flying between them. Vocally there is a dual offering from a grim harsh tone, reminiscent of black metal vocals, slower and clearer, but with a sinister synthetic approach. Bog probably has watched too many sci-fi movies, but it's a hook for sure. The other vocals are clean, soft, and mellow, and layer  Leviathan with a narrative quality like a story teller singing from their perspective. It's compelling and catches the imagination. Musically, slow tempo Dark Synth and a little Cyberpunk combining Industrial overtones, and a futuristic background melody. There are also some dance stepping sections for your feet, which Bog needs to do soon on the treadmill, but that's another story.  An enjoyable well produced track that is both stimulating and good sci-fi music in our opinion.

  Bog is no stranger to the Indian extreme metal scene, which has gone from strength since the days of Narsil. Warmarshal's  forthcoming new single ' The Diseased ' is a worthy anthem for our swamp legions to sally forth across the fog ridden lands. The Diseased sounds like Bolt Thrower fused with thrash, which gives the track a level of speed and ferocity. Drumming is solid with good riffs and a nice solo around 2 minutes. The guitarist's vocals are also clear, angry, and distinguishable. Overall, a nice listen with good audio levels, and a strong head banging feel!

Creepers and Shadows is the new single from Goth Rockers Black Angel . It's taken from the 7th album, Poison Garden , which is coming soon.  The single is a slow paced track with a dark brooding mood with clear strong lead and backing vocals. The instruments are solid with a memorable melody coming to the forefront and running in the background, and they complement the overall feel of Creepers and Shadows .

Condition Critical are back with new album ' Degeneration Chamber ', which was recently independently released on September 5th. Bog found this a difficult one to scribe. Why? Because this is really good, no frills, in your face pure thrash metal the way it should be. The great unclean hands shall try to sum up what is contained beyond the superb artwork we can see above.  Bog likes Degeneration Chamber a lot, it cheerfully encouraged himself to climb on a dive board and jump off belly first into the water splashing everyone in the vicinity whilst he laughed. It's i ntense, fast, aggressive, raw, and has old school fury combined with excellent production, which does not fail to lose the energy.  Wretched Aggression and Deconstructive Horrors are of full bullet belt riffs and only should be listened to whilst wearing proper metal pants that haven't been washed for some time. Cranial Dissolution follows the opening two tracks and   its more no frills, no filler, just...
