I got it done! Finally! After many setbacks, my first record review column for The Bloodsprayer. I missed most of the release dates on these (Most came out in September, but it’s not like release dates matter that much anymore.) but at least they are current. Since this isn’t a “music oriented webzine” I’m not [...]
In many ways, horror films are to cinema what punk rock is to music. I’m not the first person to say this. Not by a long shot. They are, after all, both intensely subversive forms of art, reveling in controversial subject matter with a middle finger-flipping “fuck the world” attitude and an uncompromising outlaw zeal. [...]
How do you base an entire review on one portion of one song? I could write this entire piece on the first 6 minutes of “La Faulx” and be satisfied in the thought that I steered no one wrong. Univers Zero formed in 1974 and recorded their first, initially self titled album (renamed ’1313′) [...]
I’m a music geek that has no issues watching grainy footage of a foreign screen ingénue casually vomit lamb entrails while bleeding from thousand-yard-stare eyeballs, but if given the choice, I’d rather be in my room with my stereo, music collection and guitars obsessing over liner notes for a Mountain reissue. Horror cinema really isn’t [...]
Cuz’ we didn’t get enough last time…and neither did you!
At one point, I wanted this site to also cover music. In fact, you can find a few reviews waaaaay back when of some fantastic albums. Unfortunately, it became more of a chore to add music as we were getting loaded up with film after film. That isn’t a complaint by any stretch of the [...]
I like to see creepy kids busting up cars, chopping off each others hands, carrying around dead dogs and reminding me “We Are All Going To Hell”. Back in 2003 Spike Jonze and Yeah Yeah Yeahs made all my dreams come true. The video in question is for “Y Control”, the fourth and final single [...]
When it’s all said and done in the world of modern music, High on Fire will go down as one of those bands that didn’t get near the amount of exposure they deserved. But if their latest album is any sort of indication, that well-earned notoriety may be just around the corner. On their latest [...]
Y0u’ll end up finding there is no shortage of love for the Swedes and all things Scandinavian on our website. Whether it’s film or great music, they seem to have a knack for pleasing a lot of the cats that write for The Blood Sprayer. Fortunately, there is no shortage of cool stuff that this [...]
God, I love hearing a balls out heavy rock record. There’s nothing quite like getting your ass kicked from the first riff. House of Broken Promises do just that with Using the Useless and manage to add hooks to the songs that make them rock radio ready. Comprised of former members of Unida ( a [...]
It’s not often that an album is actually scary. I know that plenty of metal bands set out to strike fear into the listener and fail miserably. It’s doubtful that Obiat is a band that wanted to scare it’s fan, but with Eye Tree Pi they’ve achieved that in spades. Hailing from the U.K., Obiat [...]
