Jex Thoth is the best female vocalist in the world today.

Episode 8, Easel Kill Ya - A great, dark and morbid episode starring Tim Roth. It's a fairly standard and predictable story, but it's really well-done and Tim Roth' performance is captivating. A very good episode. 8/10 Episode 9, Undertaking Palor - Another very fun episode with a great John Glover and Jonathan Ke Quan (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies). It's dark and fun. Very, very good. 9/10 This series is just to notch. So much fun, and I'm super excited for every new episode I am watching. Brilliant!

I fucking hate job interviews. Jesus christ. Lana Del Ray's been saving my life today. Or part two weeks. What an artist and what a god damn amazing voice.

Drinking black coffee and watching Shakira moving her ass. Heavenly. Also, job interview today. Yay!

Episode 7, The Reluctant Vampire - An unusual vampire story that's something else. It's campy, I'd say, but in a good way. Hilarious as well, ans the casting of Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) as Rupert Van Helsing is nothing short of brilliant. What a fantastic casting. He's just so god damn good, like. What a charisma! 9/10

That's one hell of a way to end an album. Majestic and catchy. A brilliant album closer, and an even better concert closer.

I will, but I doubt I'll like it much. I'm just not a fan of what they would become, and think they got weaker with every release, and I'm not huge on Corpsegrinder. Not too keen on his vocals. I consider him inferior to early 90's Chris Barnes on every level.

That's cool, browski. I need to check out their recent setlists though, because I am really not very familiar with anything they've done after Vile. I've heard everything with the exception of their last three albums, but I am not very familiar with any of the others. The last time I heard anything the band did after Vile, was when they released Kill, which is 9 years ago now. I'm hoping for lots of old goodies, but I expect nothing more than a total of 4-5 tracks from the three albums, which is a shame of course. But it'll be good, I am sure of that.

Getting ready for Cannibal Corpse on the 16th. Should be fun!

Anyone heard this album yet? Is it any good? Just bought tickets for The Prodigy on october 7th. I can't fucking wait!

I've bearly heard any albums this month, but I've heard at least two: Abigor - Supreme Immortal Art (Instrumental 1997) The demo recording of Abigor's 1998 classic Supreme Immortal Art. There's no synth, it's unmixed and sadly has no vocals. I'd love forit to have vocals, but even without it it's supreme. Just listen to the opening track of this demo and the original and you'll hear a massive difference. The original starts off in a monsterous, grandeour way, while this starts off with a vicious killer-riff that'll smash your ugly fucking face and leave you for dead. Unlike the original release you can clearly hear what the guitar does, and even more importantly, you can hear the bass lines. Bass has never been an important part of this band at all. The first few albums featured bass, but it's mixed so low you can't even hear it for most part. The original release of Supreme Immortal Art, as long as several other albums frmo that point on has, as far as I know, no bass whatsoever, but this demo recoding does, and the bass sounds amazing. The bass lines are among the coolest I've ever heard. Crazy good. Enjoy! Satan's Wrath - Die Evil I've been very disappointed by the direction these guys have taken since their debut album. The debut album, to me at least, is more death metal-inspired. It sounds like more like early Possessed meets early Slayer, or just Iron Maiden anno 1981 gone death metal. However, they've gone in a blacker road since then, and this album is more in the vein of Desaster meets Venom. It's good and catchy, and it'll make you move a leg or two throughout the album, but still a bit disappointing. Satanic War! That's it for now. I'll check if I've heard one more alum from may. Can't think of any right now at least.

Flesh and Blood: The Hammer Heritage of Horror A nice TV-made documentary about Hammer Films and their legacy. A short "interlude" goes through the first years of the company before they move onto the Hammer Horror years. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing narrates the whole film, as well as appear in some interviews, and and other people like Hazel Court, Joe Dante, Ray Harryhausen, Freddie Francis, Val Guest, Roy Ward Baker, Martine Beswick, Veronica Carlson and more appears in the film. This is a treat for fans of Hammer Horror and horror films in general. It's a fantastic, wonderful documentary, however, there's one huge problem though: it's only 100 minutes long. As a massive Hammer Horror fan, both the good and the bad moves, I think every single film mentioned deserves 100 minutes each. This is a documentary that should've been 10-15 hours long, and I am not kidding. That's nothing less of what Hammer Films deserves. Anyway, top ntoch documentary! I'll try to find the documentary Hammer: The Studio That Dripped Blood! next. It's only an hour long, but an hour is one hour better than nothing.

Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films Mark Hartley returns with yet another documentary about the world of films, and while it never reaches his previous masterpieces Machete Maidens Unleashed! and Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!, it's an instant classic. It focuses on the israeli cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus who bought The Cannon Group in 79, and how they helped chaning the world of cinema and how they fucked it up. More or less. Mark Hartley is an absolute genius when it comes to documentaries, and he once again proves it. The way he cut together everything is absolutely top notch. And the story they're telling is fun, interesting and enlightning as well, so it's just brilliant. I'm a huge fan of several Cannon films myself, uncluding films I consider cult classics such as Enter the Ninja-series, New Year's Evil, Hospital Massacre, Death Wish-series, Breakin', Missing in Action-series, Lifeforce, American Ninja-series, Invasion U.S.A., The Delta Force, Cobra, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Over the Top and so god damn on, so I am obviously a bit biased. But I find it hard to dislike something as well-written, told and directed as this. However, the reason why it's not quite as good as his other documentaries is the lack of certain key figures. Neither Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, Chuck Norris or Sylvester Stallone appears in this film. But you do get interviews with Tobe Hooper, Franco Nero, Dolph Lundgren, Michael Dudikoff and more though, so you can't really complaint too much. PS: three months after the release of this, another documentary about The Cannon Group was released, called The Go-Go Boys: The Inside Story of Cannon Films. It's not supossed to be as good, though. From what I read it focuses mainly on the positive sides of The Cannon Goup, and not everything. Mark Hartley's Electroc Boogallo is a very honest film. The Cannon Group released mainly shit films, and this is the truth even though I am a huge fan myself, and it's honest about it and also takes other negatives such as the finance problems and so on. The Go-Go Boys apparently overlooks all that. I'll watch it, though. I am very interested. Anyway, fantastic documentary!

Dwayne Johnson in Talks to Star in 'Big Trouble in Little China' Remake That's fucking awful. Not because of Dwayne Johnson, but the thought of remaking the coolest film ever made just disgusts me. Everyone who's playing around with the thought of remaking this huge masterpiece deserves a fucking axe to the back of their head. Death to 'em all.

That was massive. Simple as that.

I've been enjoying this season alot so far. I think it's been amazing.

Dan Swanö, man. What an absolute legend. What a genius musician. Not everything's top notch, but he's got a shitload of great releases to his name both as a musician and producer. It's no wonder he's one of the most respected people in the world of (extreme) metal.

Black Magic - This is basically Hong Kong's answer to White Zombie. A Shaw Brothers horror film that stars a favourite of mine, Ti Lung, was groundbreaking at the time of its release and is considered the begining of the Hong Kong exploitation horror. It's a tale of sex, greed and, quite obviously, black magic. These three things alone should be more than enough to please me, and when you add Ti Lung and a BEAUTIFUL poster it should just get better. But god, this film is so disappointing. There's no real horror in the film asside from a good villain, but he is not good enough to save this film all by himself. It just lacks in all departments. No atmosphere, no gore, nothing over the top or anything. It's just inbetween everything that makes films good. Well, it's hard to say this, but this just doesn't live up to it reputation. It's easy to see it's importance and influence on the late 70's/80's Hong Kong horror scene, but that's all it gets from me. As mediocre as it gets IMO. Looking forward to seeing the sequels though, which is supossed to be gorier and more over the top. The poster: What a beauty. I'd frame that and have it up on my wall if I liked the film more. Stunning!

Coherence - Full-lenght debut of James Ward Byrkit is an exhibition in low-budget filmmaking in 2015. It's one hell of an impressive debut. A sci-fi-thiller that is interesting, and at times, really creepy. It's got a cast of eight, all who are brilliant in this film, and while most of the film is filme din one single room, be sure to put your phone away or you'll get confused and bored pretty fast. However, if you spend the time focusing on the ilm I am sure you will be impressed as well. This film is 50k more than well-spent.

The song was up on youtube for some time too before it was removed. Didn't get to hear it myself, but read that it was very Slayer-esque and metalish, just like the band promised whent hey started talking about this album a soon after their previous one was released. This is gonna be so god damn good, and if they've managed a better production this time this might end up as one of the highlights of the year,

Which is a shame. I wish the rest had continued under another name and continued making Kagrraesque music.

Kundo: Age of the Rampant - A rather new South-Korean period action-epic by Jong-bin Yun, starring a fantastic HaJung-woo and an even better Kang Dong-won. The film looks beautiful. It's well-shot, has great set- and costume-designs and has well-choreographed action scenes and a soundtrack that feels like it belongs in an italian western film from the 60's/early 70's rather than in a South-Korean period actioner, yet it just makes everything way much cooler. There's so much toenjoy in this film. It's something like 20 minutes too long, the characters should've been given a bit more personality and reason and it is predictable and unoriginal as fuck. But still, it's very enjoyable. The whole film feels like something like 60's Italian western meets Seven Samurai meets Robin Hood. And despite its lenght and flaws, it's well worth watching for the visuals and soundtrack alone.

Episode 6, Dead Wait - A very nice episode from genius filmmaker Tobe Hooper with Whoopi Goldberg, John Rhys-Davies, Vanity and some others. Predictabl, but very nice and atmospheric. A nice one! 8/10 And god damn was Vanity hot around this time. Jesus christ! Seeding of a Ghost - More Hong Kong horror in the vein of Gu and Mo. The film can easily be described as Hong Kong madness, and it's the kind of film you'll only find in Hong Kong. Black magic mayhem, superb special effects and an overall cool and unique vibe. I like how these films, despite being super cheesy, over the top and silly, still maintain a massive amount of darkness in them. That's quite rare for these type of films. Highly recommended to horror maniacs! Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau - Title says it all, doesn't it? A nice, well-crafted documentary about one of the most promising failures ever made. Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau had everything it takes to create an utter masterpiece, such as a good script, a very promising director, a fantatic cast and a great backing. But for some reason it ended up a massive failure and a TOTAL mayhem. It would be cool to have interviews with Val Kilmer and Ron Perlman, but them not being a part of this, and especially the former, was as expected. I almost laughed myself to death when Marco Hofschneider & co. told the story about how Marlon Brando pretended to know german, then spanish, and how Brando and Nelson de la Rosa became best buddies on set. Hilarious! Highly recomended for both fans and haters of The Island of Dr. Moreau, and even people who's never even heard about the film.
