Y'ever watch True Blood or read the Sookie Stackhouse novels? You say you're a heterosexual male... so no? Let me re-phrase. Have a girlfriend/wife? Y'ever passively listen while True Blood plays in the same room as the couch you're sitting on, while waiting for Anna Paquin to get naked again? That's what I thought, you coy motherfucker. In said world, "V" (vampire blood) is used as the ultimate psychedelic/ opiate/ steroid/ stimulant drug. Impetuous Ritual and their full length, Relentless Execution of Ceremonial Excrescence, is like [...]
By Andrew Wilhelm (Denver) and Van Damned (SATX)The most amazing thing about last weekend's Rites of Darkness III festival in San Antonio was that it actually happened.

Australia, for those of us in the US, is pretty much literally on the other side of the world, and, like good Americans, we pick and choose what we want to know about it. The continent conjures up images of free range marsupials, shrimps and barbies with some throwing somewhere in there, Paul Hogan, and [...]
Profound Lore has two upcoming releases worth checking out. The first is Dimensional Bleedthrough , out November 10 from Krallice . Thanks to a formidable live reputation, the band's profile has jumped. It often gets tagged as black metal, but evidently it does not really consider itself as such. I'd agree.
