Do you like Deathspell Omega? Of course you like Deathspell Omega! Everyone likes Deathspell Omega! But Deathspell Omega can’t always write and record Deathspell Omega EPs and albums. Good thing we’ve got Dodecahedron!

Exclusive Premiere: Zhrine’s “Spewing Gloom”

February 2, 2016

Zhrine is an Icelandic black/death metal band that melds the disgusting atonality of Deathspell Omega with the oppressively frigid atmosphere of Svartidauði (guitarist Nökkvi Gylfason is a member), complete with a fetid dusting of sludge as a sickening after-dinner mint.

Now, most of this is conjecture. They may do interviews—with each other—and they may have a…

November 8, 2010

By Simon Hawemann (War from a Harlots Mouth) 5. Swarm of the Lotus – “Nightmare Paint” “Nightmare Paint” is such a twisted and shattering song, it reminds me of grating doors or grating metal even. It sounds like an earthquake, pure chaos, like elemental forces – out of control. Things you would expect to happen…
