Uulliata Digir – Uulliata Digir Review
I checked out Uulliata Digir on a whim, one cold Monday evening while half asleep from work. Little of what I was hearing was taken in because of this, but the vocals pierced through the tired mist of my blue-collar existence. Suddenly, Croque woke up.

Crypts of the Unknown: Khonsu – The Xun Protectorate
Join us as Metalligator reminisces on Khonsu’s 2016 release The Xun Protectorate. Oh, never heard of it? Well here in the Crypts we specialize in the unknown, the uncelebrated, and the uncovered, no matter how recent or distant.

Beneath a Steel Sky – Cleave Review
Beneath a Steel Sky’s debut, Cleave, goes far beyond being just another album title. Divided into two distinct sides, like an existential sandwich, this post rock/post metal debut seems carefully structured. It’s an A and B. It’s a start and a finish. It’s a rock and a metal.

Necromaniac – Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable
Black metal as an ingredient can be very interesting if added in reasonable quantities. Listening to Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable felt like sifting through a promising pile of raw ingredients that never quite form any edible dish. Guess Bobo’s not eating any time soon.
