 Dark Nuns is really devoid of ideas, and the few that are there are poorly exploited.

 Dark Nuns is a horror that can only scare at the beginning, when you expect some jumpscare that will never come.

Dark Nuns, screened at the Far East Film Festival, disappoints with a predictable plot and poor execution. Despite its fusion of Catholicism and shamanism, the film lacks originality and scares. The lengthy exorcism scene fails to engage, and the film does not live up to expectations set by the festival. Discover why Dark Nuns fell short at the Far East Film Festival—read the full review before you watch!

 The Spin, released yesterday, hot off the press, which I cannot help but define as the best work of a promising and already solid career.

 An album pervaded by a dark atmosphere worthy of the most intimate emotional torments, gothic, esoteric, elevated by the fantastic voice of occult priestess Sara Bianchin, their true crown jewel.

 An indescribable sonic assault, drums mercilessly pounding on the heads of the ladies at the tea circle, snares filled with repressed malice.

 Theurgy... will seem like a glass of sugary water to you after the first three groups.

This split album is a brutal, diverse dive into goregrind with four distinct bands. Insalubrity, Excrescence, and Anal Stabwound deliver raw, merciless sonic assaults, with Anal Stabwound adding an even rougher lo-fi texture. Theurgy contrasts with more spiritual, virtuoso death metal elements, providing a refreshing complexity. The reviewer enjoys the album as a rare and challenging pleasure for fans of extreme metal. Dive into this brutal goregrind split now and experience the raw intensity and dark diversity of four extreme metal acts!

 Those worms in the mouth are on the level of Nicolas Cage eating a live cockroach in Vampire’s Kiss.

 An album that shows how a few clear ideas are better than many confused ones.

Aya's album 'hexed!' is an experimental blend of electronic and post-industrial sounds with dark ambient layers. The striking cover art is memorable, but the music sometimes feels unfocused and may challenge listeners. Though its atmosphere is tense and paranoid, it lacks concrete cohesion. Worth a listen for curious fans of experimental and deconstructed club genres. Listen to Aya's 'hexed!' for an experimental journey through dark electronic soundscapes.

 I have always been struck by how some of its offshoots are capable of hypnotizing, anesthetizing the mind and transporting it to other worlds.

 Let yourself be transported to a Tokyo illuminated by the cold and subdued light of neon, or perhaps to another futuristic megalopolis.
