Death is the master of this world – Death is the master of this world (2026)
Kaeck releases its sideproject Death is the master of this world in an attempt to reclaim the more atmospheric moments from Kaeck, Sammath, and Graveland in a mixture of metal, sampled backgrounds, and ambient guitar riffing more at home on a Swans or Carbonized album than in the somewhat rigid environment death/black metal has become.

Do Not Enter (2026)
It is hard to imaging screwing up this plot: urban explorers break into a hotel with a long scary history, confront evil, and have to escape. But the MillennialMovie™ managed to make it boring.
6 CommentsMayday: Air Disaster (2026)
The corporate homsars got ahold of this one, so it has different names like “Air Crash Investigators” outside the JCSA, but this is a collaboration between Canadian filmmakers, the Smithsonian, and National Geographic that takes a Forensic Files approach to technical failures in aviation.

Saint Arnold – Banger IPA (2026)
So what do you look for in a beer? As a fan of German beers, I would say no taste of decomposition or fermentation; I want a nice clean product. As a fan of IPAs, I would say a nice crisp piquant bitterness.

Mike Browning (1964-2026)
It was with much sadness that we heard that Mike Browning (Nocturnus, Morbid Angel) has passed on to worlds beyond unexpectedly early. He provided guidance to death metal in its early days and developed the sci-fi subtype.

Dogfish Head – 90 Minute IPA (2026)
For those who like hoppy beers, the market resembles that of metal: lots of contenders, each with a unique story and cool logo, but very few that are keepers, meaning of the highest relevance and quality.

Horrifier – Revelations of Gore (2026)
Not much these days has an organizing principle, but such a thing does not need to be complicated: songs need to sound like some kind of experience, real or imagined, and all their parts need to support that vision.

At some point, one is tempted by the hype, and has to check out the latest train-wreck from the movie industry. In this case, it is Citizen Vigilante, a Deathwish-style “delayed justice” flick.
