Vomitoma have been around for a while, and whilst their sound varies a bit from time to time, their material on this split sounds like a mix between Libido Airbag and something altogether more traditional-drum-machine-goregrind (lol), like, I dunno, Dehydrated Tissues? Either way this is boss as fuck and should fill all of your lo-fi dirgy goregrind needs. Hyperemesis just get better and better and every single thing I hear by them just cements them…

(Words by Richard Lewis, Doomfinder General) Coven are one of those bands that time forgot. They are pretty much entirely responsible for creating the occult rock genre (along with Black Widow) and had they been around today they would probably be huge, but since their debut came out in 1969 there was a lot of negativity around their lyrical themes. Instead, they were dropped from their record label and had their debut album taken out…

(words by Kristian Cole, Merthyr Tydfil’s very own laureate of the digital noise revolution) As we are inclined to wash the feet of the beggars John Cage (American Tramp) and Karlheinz Stockhausen (German Weirdo) I cannot help but think what shit they pulped out over their years of sound production. Cage and Stockhausen, both from academic musical backgrounds, may have seemed ground breaking to the other chin rubbing fucksnouts who pretended to understand their take…

I’m getting the most incredible Om-meets-Earth vibe off these guys. If that fact alone doesn’t make you want to check ’em out, then let me tell you a little bit more about Queen Elephantine. Interestingly, the band are from Hong Kong but are now located in New York City and Scarab is their 4th record. Crawling around behind the abstract sleeve art is a minimalist yet lush soundscape consisting mainly of vast instrumentation – be…

Urine Festival is one of those things that exist to challenge you on how you feel about a particular genre, sound, theme or subject. A ridiculous form of music at the best of times, goregrind (or porngrind) is known for it’s reams of dodgy content and greasy subject matter. Often, it takes somebody or something pushing the elements making up your favourite genre to the absolute maximum extreme before you can begin to reflect and…

For me, this is the ultimate Fukpig release, and it trumps anything else they’ve ever done (which in itself is no small feat). If the first three tracks alone aren’t enough to get you hooked then I think you are listening to the wrong genre, mate. “Die Bastard” is fucking vicious, “Britain’s Got Fucking Aids” is a rabid stroke of pure genius, and “This Is England” completes the hat-trick of brutality with a back’n’forth blasting…

With the recent hat-trick of absolute stinkers in the form of Thornography, Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa and the incredibly turd-like The Manticore And Other Horrors (the amazing Godspeed On The Devil’s Thunder acting as an interesting anomaly in a long string of crap albums), and not to mention the recent spate of shameless cash-in releases (Midnight In The Labyrinth, the Total Fucking Darkness re-issue), I had given up all hope on Cradle Of Filth ever…

(Words by Richard Lewis, our new in-house Doomfinder General) Lazarus Blackstar are a sludge band from England, formed in 2004 out of the ashes of the not-so-slow Khang. Now, being from the UK, you don’t get the feeling that at any point the music is going to fall to shit and band members are going to die like you get from American sludge bands but Lazarus Blackstar even that out with consistent misery and slowness,…
