 Lee stabs the cello with the bow, destroys it, suffocates it, disrupts it with a nonchalance that leaves you stunned.

 It has the sound of blood, of earth, of a dense and very dark sky, heavy as a boulder.

Okkyung Lee's album Ghil is a fiercely unique and chaotic cello record that blends noise, drone, and doom-metal elements. Known for its raw and unconventional improvisation, the album takes listeners on an intense emotional journey. Recorded with imperfect equipment deliberately, it captures the physical and visceral experience of the cello. Ghil is described as one of the best and most extreme releases of 2013. Dive into the wild world of Okkyung Lee's Ghil—listen now and experience the fierce intensity of experimental cello like never before!

 In this sick era, it’s not so much about the music you produce but how you produce it.

 ‘Second Coming’ is a bluff record that doesn’t work as a headphone or stereo listen, but only as accompaniment to the videos.

The review critiques Mater Suspiria Vision's album Second Coming, describing it as more of a video art project than a musical work. While visually striking and cleverly marketed, the music is repetitive, drone-based, and difficult to listen to. The album struggles to stand on its own musically, relying heavily on imagery and limited edition releases to attract attention. Dive into the controversial world of Mater Suspiria Vision and discover where music ends and video art begins.

 "She has an entire gospel choir of the undead crammed in her throat."

 "With her compositions, Danilova scatters forget-me-not buds over massacres and bloodshed."

The review celebrates Zola Jesus' Stridulum EP as her best and most impactful work to date. The music combines dark, gothic elements with raw electronic and folk influences. Tracks like "I Can't Stand" and "Trust Me" showcase emotional depth and haunting beauty. The overall sound is experimental yet accessible, filled with melancholic and reflective themes that deeply resonate with the listener. Explore the haunting beauty of Zola Jesus' Stridulum EP and experience her dark, emotional soundscapes today.

 This ep is a scream that bursts and exhausts itself, and then starts again, and then disintegrates.

 Even when it is extremely ignorant, it stays with you for a while. And it kisses you, whispering 'I’ll help you survive.'

Teen Plaque's 'Teen Plaque Text Message/Fuck The Revolution!!!' EP is a raw, gritty punk explosion featuring Jamie Stewart’s desperate screams and anarchistic energy. This intense, short release channels youthful rebellion and emotional release through loud, noisy sounds. It highlights Stewart's ability to express human malaise even in the most chaotic music. The EP serves as a powerful, fleeting outlet of rage and authenticity. Listen to Teen Plaque's fierce punk EP and experience raw, anarchistic energy that screams survival.

 "Stewart, with the Larsen freeing themselves from every catharsis, manages to express himself with his recognizable and original timbre, but makes it warmer, melodic, sweet."

 "'Dude' does not stand out too much... it is 'just' a small record, capable of giving you sensations and colors when you put it in the stereo."

XXL's 'Dude' surprises with elegant and melodic post-rock that deviates from Jamie Stewart's usual abrasive style. Featuring mostly instrumental tracks, it offers a warm, enveloping listening experience. The album shines in moments like 'Krampus' and 'Vairie', delivering hypnotic beauty. Though not groundbreaking, 'Dude' is a small record full of captivating sensations worth revisiting. Listen to XXL's 'Dude' and experience a beautifully crafted post-rock atmosphere.

 Breakup Song disconcerts for its very forced attempt to normalize the group into an 'Arty' song form, yet also, paradoxically, banal.

 Deerhoof have aged and lost that anarchic vein that has always distinguished them; it is gradually crumbling into a caricature of itself.

Deerhoof’s 2012 album Breakup Song marks a notable shift from their usual anarchic style towards a more normalized, art-pop sound. While still creative and brimming with ideas, the album feels forced, shorter than expected, and lacks the memorable intensity of previous works. Satomi’s distinctive vocal style remains, but the album overall disappoints as the band’s first major misstep. Fans may find it pleasant but uninspiring. Listen to Deerhoof’s Breakup Song and decide if this shift in style resonates with you!

 "'Fortune Teller' is a mantra. A chain repetition of probabilities, whispered, a cappella, in the vast desolation of a dark corner of one’s heart."

 "Impossible to evaluate, at least from a musical standpoint, because it’s not music, but at the same time it is, it’s just not clear what it is."

Xiu Xiu's 'Fortune Teller' is a disorienting 21-minute a cappella piece centered around repetitive whispered phrases. It stands in contrast to the duo's more diverse 2012 works, offering an emotional, mantra-like experience. The track defies easy categorization as music and demands deep emotional engagement from the listener. Ultimately, it presents a stark meditation on doubt and despair. Dive into Xiu Xiu’s haunting 'Fortune Teller'—listen closely and experience its unsettling emotional depths.

 "It’s when the music wounds me and heals every pain of mine."

 "’Receiver’ is a cohesive and crystalline album. Clear in its fierce rage... It builds a forest around you and throws you into an abyss."

The review praises Ian Curtis Wishlist's album 'Receiver' for its wild, fierce, yet magical electronic sound. Despite initial genre misconceptions, the album delivers a cohesive blend of noise and ambient influences. The music's emotional depth moves the reviewer profoundly, making it a memorable listening experience even if it may not gain widespread attention. Listen to 'Receiver' by Ian Curtis Wishlist and experience a wild, magical electronic journey that moves and mesmerizes.

 This is mechanical ejaculation without seed. A train breaking down before it even sets off.

 Muse are risky in their pursuit of trends, rejecting them. What’s it called? Wait. Wait. Wait. “Unsustainable”, a classic title easily translatable to “Mucking About Because I’m Matthew Bellamy”.

This review harshly critiques Muse's single 'Unsustainable', describing it as a failed attempt to blend dubstep with the band's signature style. The reviewer finds the track mechanically soulless and lacking true musicality. Despite acknowledging Muse's songwriting complexity, the track is considered a misguided and tedious experiment that disappoints rather than excites. Discover why Muse's 'Unsustainable' stirred controversy—read the review and listen to decide for yourself!

 A record that builds its own limbo, piece by piece, daring where others wouldn’t.

 Among these tracks, there’s not even a shadow of hope. I must be masochistic, I repeat, but how wonderful it is to get lost among these grooves.

King Night by Salem is a haunting and imperfect witch house album that captivates through its dark electronics and eerie beauty.

Despite its darkness, the album draws listeners into a profound and immersive musical limbo. Dive into Salem's King Night and experience the dark, mesmerizing world of witch house today.
