LECHEROUS NOCTURNE ARE BACK W/ 'FISSION' (SINGLE REVIEW, RELEASED MAY 6TH, DEATH METAL/BLACKENED DEATH)

 


Here’s a joint for y’all if you ever wanted to stop, stand up, sit down, then stand up again and say “shit man, this bangs and sounds like a gunship unleashed”, well Lecherous Nocturne are that band, and are back with new music.

13 second introduction, which is a short build into the coming ferocious riffs and drumming blasting like an autocannon strapped onto the side a Bog chopper. Spraying forth carnage and spitting out destruction everywhere. This is a marching anthem for the Bog legions, damn, strap in for this Bogs!

It’s windmill time, really is one of those where you just swing the head around and bang hard af. Bog would happily pass out to Fission from over exertion. Wise strategy dropping this single, grabs the attention with a relentless pounding, if no one knows of the band, it would be one to draw in new listeners and welcome back existing fans. There is no in between, its embrace the monstrosity or f off to listen to golf’s greatest commentary hits.

Angry ass raging vocals accompany the opening riffs after the short introduction. It’s like a line of Orcs stood in a legion unified in mosh war roars. I’ve never fucking made a cup of Bog Moss so amped up before. Whilst pouring the boiling swamp water, I was like, “yeah, get in that shit cup!”, the moss also felt my wrath as I stirred it around.

The riff style is raw, blackened, and flows excellently with the aggressive death metal portion that is smashing open the ears to say ‘listen you wax ridden walking sewer.’ The production has taken steps to maintain the raw rage found in harsher styles of Black Metal and uncompromising Brutal Death. The pace doesn’t really let up, which is like a superbike hitting top speed and never slowing down.

Drumming structure is intense, blistering, angry. Guitars and riffs follow the same pattern, the vocals also run in cohesion to do the same. A triple prong approach like big fat ass trucks smashing into each other. Obvious effort behind the scenes has ensured consideration was given to timing to deliver a carefully co-ordinated airstrike of mosh bombs. Vocals don’t run ahead, everything feels like it’s been stitched together carefully to say hey we’re back and here it is, laid out for the listener to fully understand what Lecherous Nocturne are about.  

Lyrically, the horrors of nuclear war, or a tragic accident with a reactor, or any number of post apoc scenarios. Vocals to deliver those nightmares for clearly, the music is mosh af, so it can be easy to overlook those points, but Bog wanted to hear whatever was there within the single, then relay the experience back. Bog writes how the music makes them feel, and what can be heard with the instruments, vocals, and what not, which hopefully presents y’all with some real sewage unfiltered talk. Music can be cinematic, especially for those with visual minds, and Fission doesn’t disappoint. The intro sets the scene, the outro with the radiation spike sound effect is the only slowdown in the whole track, but behaves like a close to a scene in a series, movie, or a novel ending the chapter.

It's different, appealing, and holds the listener. It's why Bog likes the writing and structure Lecherous Nocturne have used for Fission, and they did something outside of the usual. Extreme music can be just as nasty and heavy with other themes too. Ever wanted a sick af Fallout/Mad Max ish anthem?, then it's here. Extreme metal listeners will warmly gravitate to Lecherous Nocturne just like how Bog moves towards stenchy muck holes to do some bathing.

Spoiler, Bog thinks this is going to be the opening for a forth coming album? What a way to make a statement and say, ‘ok you beasts, it’s time to be strapped to a tank and drive it forward off a big fuck off cliff to make a splash in a pool to soak all those nearby.’ 

Rating: There is no doubt Fission took hold of Bog’s ears and refused to let go. That said, the single should be an actual hearing test played loud, louder than Bog’s belching to make sure you hear the intensity in full. A complete deliverance of chain gun war mosh fired from a tank, or gunship with the speed of a superbike. No frills, this really does it, the music and vocals speak for themselves. Included the video so you can hear it and experience the same feelings Bog had. Total bastard stellar!

Image
Introduction Ten years have passed since ‘Fragments’ was released and Dysentery have returned with forthcoming album ‘Dejection Chrysalis’ , which is due for release through Comatose Music on November 7 th . Dysentery are back to present a no filler album that is up there with all previous releases. Sometimes, we hear albums/Eps from bands, and you wish there was more time taken in recording the album, as a particular part feels missing. None of that here with Dejection Chrysalis . This a piece of music that has been worked on incredibly hard, and if you enjoy all things heavy, then this isn't to be passed by. There are guest vocal appearances from Josh Welshman (Defeated Sanity), Jared Weed (Concrete, Futility) and JT Knight (Invoke Thy Wrath). For those interested I in the artwork for the album cover it was done by Hidris (Anhedonic, Reign Of Erebus, Snakepit etc). Dejection Chrysalis made Bog relive his memory of the 4th Bog War, a bloody conflict between Bog creatures and ou...

BEAUTIFUL FREAKIN' WEIRDO: ZAP THE FEAR (INDUSTRIAL METAL, RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY 08/08/25, REVIEW)

Image
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...

THE HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER - SAMPLER (POST PUNK, RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY, AUG 29TH, REVIEW)

Image
On the first listen, Bog didn't really feel the sampler, but it has grown on Bog, and it does turn into an infectious piece of music. It was an interesting journey with The Hangman's Daughter, and Bog likes it when something completely flips him from his initial reaction.  With that said, the sampler is super chill, so for those expecting ultra heavy music, or something that is going to make you shiver furiously, then this might not be for you, but if you can give it a chance, and appreciate relaxing, but catchy melodies, then The Hangman's Daughter would be an artist Bog recommends. There are other influences outside of the obvious goth vocals and bands like The Cure, such as horror punk (Bog could hear it on Serafina Who Knows). From what Bog can gather, the sampler is a collection of recent tracks spanning the last few years.  Dive is mega chill, but yet has excellent audio and mastering to give it an extra edge, but not sacrificing the lo-fi essence to lose the heart of...
