Origin: Iisalmi, Finland
Label: Inverse Records

Genre: Black Metal / Death Metal
Rating: 7/10
Listen/Buy: Bandcamp

Cold, dark and angry. That's what hits first.

Se, Josta Ei Puhuta play black metal-infected death metal with roots in punk and thrash , and you feel it. At times really fast, at others deeply melodic. The contrast is real and it is so good when it works. The vocals sit between death and black metal, and I prefer them when they go full black metal. Either way they fit , they complete the music rather than fight it.

Got this one as a promo ahead of release ,  thanks to Inverse Records for the trust.

Syvyyden portit on saatava auki is the track that got me. A good dose of everything I like , the darkness, the melody, the intensity all hitting at once. I don't understand a word of Finnish but the music told me its own story. That's not nothing.

Other tracks that stands out is : Varis and pimeys ja ikuinen yö (what i think is Crow and Darkness & Eternal?)

Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio handled the production and the result is exactly what this music needs. Stable, atmospheric and cold. The murky heaviness stays locked in throughout. That's his profit.

My only "problem" is the punk, it's there and it pulls me slightly out of where I want to be with this record. Not enough to ruin it , but enough to notice.

Cold, dark and grim. Finnish to the bone.

Rating: 7/10

I'll be spinning more albums — stay tuned!

Karmøygeddon Festival Report (2026)

  Three Days, 24 Bands and a Completely Wrecked Festival Weekend This weekend was exactly what festivals are supposed to be — long days, aching feet, little sleep, loud music, sore backs and massive concert experiences. Over three days I caught 24 bands, ranging from black metal and melodic death metal to progressive metal, hard rock and a few things that just didn't land for me at all. Some concerts were unforgettable. Some disappointed. Some surprised me completely. But overall, this was exactly the chaotic and memorable festival weekend I was hoping for. Thursday Thursday started strong. First up was Rioter, and they did exactly what an opening band should do. Young guys going in full energy from the first second and kicking off the festival with a bang. A fantastic start to the weekend. Next was Mayfire, a band I'd actually been looking forward to. Unfortunately this was one of the weaker sets of the day. The sound wasn't quite right and the vocals kept falling through ...

Zero Gravity – My Jeffrey Dahmer Review: Gothic Punk/Metalcore Single from Austria (2025)

 Zero Gravity - My Jeffrey Dahmer I recently received a very friendly request from the band Zero Gravity to review their latest single, and I was happy to give it a listen. From Innsbruck, Tyrol, Zero Gravity is a band that thrives on unpredictability. Formed by Dionys Dorner (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Berger (drums) in their teens, and joined by Christian Hubmann (bass, vocals), the trio has carved out a path defined by bold experimentation and a refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Their music blends punk, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge, and now gothic and metalcore elements, with a recurring “broken glam” aesthetic — raw, chaotic, yet undeniably engaging. Their latest single, “My Jeffrey Dahmer” , is a provocative, ironic take on love songs, using a shocking metaphor to explore romantic failure with absurdist and nihilist undertones. The track carries a bitter sense of humor, with chaotic shifts in tone and energy that mirror the tension of its lyrical themes. Dionys’s vocals, at t...

For Ruin – Painted in Colours of War Review: Melodic Blackened Death Metal (2026)

 My review on For Ruin - Painted in the colours of War Release : January 29th , 2026 Origin      : Cork , Ireland  Label      : Sentinel Records  Rating     : At The End Painted in the colours of War Painted In The Colours Of War is an album defined by atmosphere. From the very start , the mood is dark, heavy, and emotionally. This is not a record that rushes to impress,instead, it builds patiently , layer by layer, allowing tension and weight to accumulate before it finally releases. And when it does, it hits HARD . Musically, the album sits firmly within melodic blackened death metal . The guitars balance heaviness and melody well, creating riffs that feel both aggressive and expressive rather than purely technical. The drums are powerful and well-placed, giving the music a strong sense of drive without overwhelming the rest of the instrumentation. Everything feels intentional and controlled, yet never sterile. One of the key...
