Broken Sword, Rotten Shield is the newest entry in Full of Hell’s eclectic musical canon. In a way, it’s a continuation of the bands previous record, which explored more noise rock-oriented textures inspired by ’90s outfits like Helmet or The Jesus Lizard. Hopefully the Helmet works too… cause the sword and shield certainly ain’t gonna cut it.

Act of Impalement – Profane Altar Review
2025 has, to put it bluntly, fucking sucked for me and while I’m actively working towards improving my situation, I’ve searched for music to fill that anger.

Landfilth – CONTROL Review
For the real amount of gains, Scuttlegoat need something loud, bassy. Something with a lack of nuance and constant aggressive dynamics. Oh, and it must be good, too.

Vacant Moley – The Programmed Obsolescence of Your Kind Review
Dripping has not done much since the cult release Disintegration of Thought Patterns During a Synthetic Mind Traveling Bliss, although a single released just last year might suggest that more new music is on the horizon — a beautiful side effect of the internet age is that cult classics can be revived and live on.

Vacant Moley is a solo project by Morris that, in any way but name, just seems like more Dripping. Glaze us, weirdo slam daddy.

Dissocia – To Lift the Veil Review
How a genre that is built on experimentation and outside the box songwriting ends up sounding all the same and using the same tricks just baffles me. But once in a while, an act shows up and makes me pay attention because of their knack for individual expression. Did Dissocia just look at the handbook and throw it out the window?
