Car Bomb - Paroxysm - Single Review

Shit Talk Reviews ·

2025/06/17

Send us a text John got all giddy when he saw that Car Bomb dropped a new single and the fellas had to get into it.

Send us a text This time around the fellas got into the latest release from Paris's own Hangman's Chair.

Ghost - Skeletá - Quickie Road Review

Shit Talk Reviews ·

2025/05/08

Send us a text Derek has been a road warrior the past few weeks and he took a minute to turn down his Spotify Celine Dion playlist to share his thoughts on Skeletá, the latest album from Ghost. Does this review have the production value of Apocalypse Now or The Ten Commandments? Nope, it sure doesn't. If that's what you're looking for we're very sorry, because this ain't it. But know that we still love you and would love for you to subscribe, follow, comment and like this review. Be s...

Shit Talk Reviews ·

2025/01/24

John and Derek were excited to get into a new kind of black metal album. Patriarkh hails from Białystok, Poland and splintered off from the band Batushka. Their first album, Prophet Ilja, is an absolutely wonderful first outing under the new band name. There are so many different facets to this album that the guys were reluctant to put them under just the black metal genre label. This album is dramatic, theatric, beautiful and is a great listen all the way around.Grab yourself a tasty be...

Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere - Album Review

Shit Talk Reviews ·

2024/12/02

What if a group of fellas from Colorado got together and mashed together 70s era progressive rock and psychelia with death metal? You get Blood Incantation, a band who's been making waves in the heavy music scene since 2011 with their genre spanning releases. With four full length albums and three EPs released 2013, their latest release ABSOLUTE ELSEWHERE is exceedingly well done. With some subtle (and some not-so-subtle) nods to huge bands from past to present, this album is a monstrous reco...
