Sleeping Village Reviews

Wo do indeed

Cloud Rat's Threshold. A swirling abstract painting that kind of resembles blue canyon walls with an orange backdrop. A sun/moon rises.

relaxing in the comfortable arms of peak grindcore

More colors = better album, I think

I listen to music to suffer. I am Sisyphus and all the new music to listen to is my boulder. Oh fuck oh shit

Trying to rip off my headphones like Tantalus reaching for those damn grapes

Oh yeah, when I said I "listened" to Spectrum a bunch of times? I actually meant that I "glanced at the lyric sheet before briefly admiring the cover art."

Does this album fuck, slap, or rip? I dunno, that's for The Computer to decide.

Oh god I hope so

Once they got that dark money injection from the Death Metal Revivalism lobby it was all over

This is how everyone finds out that the entire underground metal community is propped up by like seven people recommending albums they never actually listened to

Many of you won't frolic in death through the Elysian Fields, I can tell you that much.

You listen to music for "enjoyment" whereas I, enlightenedly, listen to music to "curry favor with Apollo, the god of music."

NEW REVIEW!

Striving to find something nice to say, but ultimately coming to the conclusion that taking Megadeth's final album seriously is "painfully difficult."

Fiadh is releasing our (transgressive in this case) first album and our compilation of 2025 EPs in two separate releases. I've already got an early copy of the ET Tape and it looks awesome! I'm sure it sounds awesome too but i don't have a cassette player LOL

They'll be out this Friday!

10 years of lesser-drop-day. We dream of a past that fades from relevance.

Proud of you

Hell yeah we love when a sick band drops on a Tuesday

(I promise we've got reviews of music that is Actually Good forthcoming)

Pretty much sums it up

Consodering adopting this, my current "is it a banger? y/n" scale leaves too much room for nuance

The streak continues!

On the off chance you didn’t catch @theoriginalkep.bsky.social’s post yesterday, there’s a new monthly roundup for February over on Noob Heavy dot Com. As I keep my writing legs back (whatever that means), I did manage to pick one album per week that kicked some serious ass. Hopefully you agree!

That's tomorrow's playlist sorted.

I feel like I'm fairly on top of new releases... and then a metal review website inevitably drops a monthly roundup featuring multiple albums that completely flew under my radar.
