Tenebro – Una lama d’argento (2025)
This album combines the dynamics of black metal with an Incantation/Asphyx/Immolation approach that brings lots of tasty surging riffs while at the same time building songs out of the conflict of these riffs, making for an album that is inscrutable to 90% of the listening audience at this time.

Graveland On Metal Threat 2025
Political correctness followed the Moral Majority, and both used the same technique, which is shame gaslighting to remove anything but their chosen agenda. The Moral Majority for example spoke of “Satanic” metal so much they created it, and PC brought an ethno-nationalist backlash.

Cecil’s Pub Reopens In Blighted Concrete Culturevoid Houston
It baffles the mind as to why someone would try to open a killer pub in Houston, but Cecil’s Pub comes from an older time, when Houston had culture (Anglo nerd pioneer cowboy) and was a small city instead of the place people go when they fail in Los Angeles and New York.

Tsingtao Brewer – Premium Lager (2025)
Chinese products often imitate and build upon those in the West, and Tsingtao improves upon the American adjunct lager — beer made with rice or corn as the primary fermenting grains — by making a lighter, cereal-like version of Corona Extra with a little fizz and spice to keep it interesting.

Sadistic Metal Reviews: Sodomize The Holidays Edition
The world faces massive change. Automation will replace massive numbers of workers, so the quest for warm bodies has been replaced by a jihad for migration. War threatens, especially over water, and global pollution has reached the point where half of us are going to die of cancers.

Karbach Brewing Company – Crawford Bock (2025)
Another one of those nice 1980s American adjunct beers, Karbach Crawford Bock tastes like old school Budweiser complete with faint overtones of squash decay and vinegar bitterness, but mostly a sweetness and easy of consumption that makes it hard to choke down like Coke or Sprite.

New Belgium Voodoo Ranger: Imperial IPA (2025)
Upon first taste, 1980s Michelob; middle-taste is a little bit sweeter; finishing taste has more citrus and a fizzy, spicy lingering hybrid of aroma and flavor. This beer goes down easy because nothing in its taste profile conflicts with the rest of its flavor edifice.

The Real Spies Among Friends (2022)
If you want a gentle introduction to the Cambridge Five spy scandal which effectively gutted the upper classes of Britain and savaged the faith of its ordinary citizens in the Establishment, consider The Real Spies Among Friends, a documentary of psychology as much as spycraft.

Karbach Brewery Rodeo Clown Double IPA (2025)
Presenting the richer side of IPAs, this double IPA has a slightly burnt flavor and intense bitterness but ultimately goes too far into an unbalanced sourness, missing that sweet spot where IPAs still taste like beer just without the soda pop and rotting squash flavors normal to American beer.
