Snake Eyes – Snake Eyes — 1917, 2007

Snake Eyes is just another one of those side project bands that doesn't get a lot of love outside of their home stomping grounds of California due the fact they don't get to play out much and never tour. Snake Eyes features members of Betrayed, Terror, Donnybrook, and Internal Affairs. Only Internal Affairs comes anywhere close to the violent intensity that Snake Eyes can project. It's pissed off somewhat metallic heavy as bricks hardcore. Just the way I like it. If you aren't moshing when you slap down the needle on this seven-song 7" then you are the most mosh deficient person of all time and probably should just stick to your unfun life. I'm having trouble sitting in my chair as the record spins by. Fuck it, I got to stomp around the living room for a bit. If Snake Eyes ever decided to become a full-time band and tour the states I'd follow them around on their Midwest dates with a trail of dead in my wake.

Twelve albums and more than three decades into their career, Jungle Rot remains one of death metal's most reliable institutions.

Fruits of the Decision Tree
Sleeping Giant Glossolalia (2024)

Some instrumental records create atmosphere while others create movement. Fruits of the Decision Tree feels like it creates an entire environment. It’s unstable, mechanical, strangely beautiful, and constantly in motion. The solo project of Nick Skrobisz (Multicult, The Wayward), Overcalc exists somewhere between electronic experimentation, prog-level guitar precision, ambient drift, and full on sci-fi hallucination. Trying to pin it cleanly … Read more
