Diabolus – Diabolical Procession (2026)
From the early days of death metal, a hybrid of Sarcofago and Deicide adds its own flavor through a modern death metal style internal dialogue of riffs producing moments of great clarity from seemingly random visions of darkness.

Temora – Demo 2025 (2025)
There comes to us a release showing us that the old art is not dead. A group of friends gets together in a rehearsal room to put together intricate riffs that carry a narrative. They test the rhythms back to back, a structure emerges that sustains and modulates energy. There is articulation in its diction, as there should be in writing or in speaking. Well-made music grows as a living vine, with heaves and breathing rhythms, that even in the midst of the putrefaction and desolation they are meant to evoke, produce psychic and infectious life, the destiny of which is to lodge itself into your brain. That parasite, which can indeed grow monstrous and insidious, is what the long-time death metal listener knows as pure enjoyment of this music of death.

Metal Cosmos (#5)
The time has come for us to accept that modernity has died. The notion of universal, absolute, and objective “truth” has died because we realize that other people simply “game” our symbols and manipulate us to destruction.

Pipe Tobacco – Massacra (2026)
About a decade ago, I designed a personal pipe tobacco blend. It used a lot of dark fired Kentucky Burley, layered Virginias favoring the blonde variant, mucho dark burley, a pinch of cigar leaf, and a dusting of Latakia.
3 CommentsKarbach – Texas Lager (2026)
So, you wanted an ideal summer beer. This comes very close. Tasting like a hybrid between 1980s Miller and Coors, it is an American adjunct beer which favors the barley flavor but keeps the easy drinking sweet soft texture of Murkan beer.
No CommentsWatch the Skies (2025)
For a movie that preserves the 2010s type of speculative sci-fi in a 1980s story arc, Watch the Skies delivers quirky Swedish weirdness in a story that makes sense without being saccharine.
