Black Space Void Alex

Nunziati

Moribund Records

Review by Ken Morton http://www.moribundcult.com/

Alex Nunziati is best known for legendary underground bands such as Malamorte and Theatres des Vampires. And now with Black Space Void, Alex Nunziati has unleashed the thrash metal/80’s hardcore album for the ages! Black Space Void absolutely rips into your senses, and makes you want to launch headfirst into the mosh pit! Such a distinct and brilliant masterwork, with songs such as The Revenge Of Humans, The Day The World Died Again, and The Universe Doesn’t Need Us leaving quite an impact! Where San Francisco thrash and DC hardcore collide into an vast and epic nuclear explosion, the fall out will consist of the entreaties found within Black Space Void. Featuring lyrical content based on Sci-fi and outer-space themes as well as humanities mistreatment of Earth and extinction, Black Space Void is a compelling work of sonic artistry not to be missed! Presented to the universe by the only and only Moribund Cult!

Firecry Category VI Moribund Records

Review by Ken Morton https://www.facebook.com/CategoryVI/

Imagine, if you will, rock entities such as Heart and Halestorm slamming headfirst into a mighty stash of cult power metal and thrash albums, and you are only just beginning to encounter the scorching devastation found within Firecry by Category VI. This female fronted Canadian band is the real deal, destined to enrapture metalheads all over the planet. From the opening refrains of the title track to the headbanging ferocity of Valkyrie and beyond, Firecry delivers the wicked rage like a band absolutely possessed and ready to conquer the world. Be sure to listen to the grand finale, when Firecry take on the Heart classic Barracuda, and render the classic rock song a massive metal anthem for the ages! This glorious inferno of auditory intrigue is presented by Amanda Jackman on soaring vocals, Geoff Waye on blistering guitar, Keith Jackman on pummeling bass, and Brian Downton on thunderous drums. Another genre classic brought to you by the legendary Moribund Cult!

Everything Is Beautiful And Nothing Hurts Skye Lee Vague Lily Of Eire Records

Review by Tony F. Corpse https://skyleevague.com/

Two words come to mind...

Beautifully bleak. Sky Lee Vague, renaissance man of the highest caliber has issued a platter of digital sorcery, that is is all sorts of diversions into diversity and all conjured from a lifetime of experience. Omnipotent feelings seeth from the lyrical landscapes presented here, and it’s often embittered - yet still longing for hope, and recycled through a funnel of overt optimism.

My favorite track is The Days Before I Died. It’s so forlorn and bittersweet. So contemplative. A deep soul exploration indeed. Every word uttered and contained therein holds true merit. Another stupendous cut is Bury Me With My Wedding Ring On (featuring Deb Venom & Tyleigha Black). Now, this is perhaps a clever play on words or a dead serious mantra that realizes the importance of true love and takes a token of it to the grave. Overall Everything Is Beautiful And Nothing Hurts is a cleansing in audio form. A catharsis made flesh. Give it a listen and immerse yourself in it’s atmospheric dreamscape, you won’t regret my recommendation.
