Review: Bosse-de-Nage – All Fours
Bosse-de-Nage All Fours Profound Lore Street: 04.14 Bosse-de-Nage = Deafheaven + Sannhet A common theme in early press for the new Bosse-de-Nage album is that their last release was a split 12” with fellow Bay Area black metal band Deafheaven, and not without reason. Deafheaven have significant crossover appeal and have brought black metal at

Review: Avi Buffalo – At Best Cuckold
Avi Zahner-Isenberg wants to rub his dick all over your chest, or at least that’s the message I’ve gotten listening to this album. … read more

Wrekmeister Harmonies
“Night of Your Ascension,” the title track from Wrekmeister Harmonies’ most recent album (released Nov. 13 on Thrill Jockey Records), quietly opens with delicate, reverb-drenched female vocals singing atop droning keys. Over the course of the 32-minute track, Wrekmeister Harmonies gradually take the listener from these gentle and pastoral sounds into a full-on pummeling metal onslaught to close out the track. … read more

Review: You Too Can Have A Body Like Mine
I started reading this book the day after I fractured my ribs, and I think the combination of the surrealism in Kleeman’s story and my slightly unhinged mental state (due to the pain) made me crazier than normal for a few days. … read more

Review: Gupter Puncher Issue 16
I never imagined that Mega Man would make me question the nature of my reality. Gupter Puncher Issue 16 is the first Gupter Puncher zine I’ve ever read, and it makes me curious to go back and read issues 1–15, though, apparently, some of the earlier issues have gone missing. … read more

Review: Psycho Holosuite
Usually, when I pick up something for light reading, I don’t expect to be going in for existential dread, but this thing gave me night terrors. Psycho Holosuite is something of a companion to Gupter Puncher Issue 16; they were both produced by the same people and have a similar theme: vague existentialism and horror. … read more
