2021
The Power of the Dog (2021) – Jane Campion
[25-WR]
Barking dogs don’t bite, but conceal their fragile masculinity under thick hides.
This psychological exposé intersects power’s balance with sharp angles and a descending score.
[25-WR]
Mirrors (2021) – Pupil Slicer
[25-WR]
Grinding it’s way through murkiest swamps of noisy Mathcore, this debut hearkens the sheer power-violence of early Converge, while creating their own hurtful recipe.
[25-WR]
A Tear In The Fabric Of Life (2021) – Knocked Loose
[25-WR]
The guitar sound, yum. Better pack a 2nd pair of panties before witnessing how your body is being choked, raped and nailed against the wall.
[25-WR]
If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power (2021) – Halsey
[25-WR]
Glossy voice with edgy ‚in your face‘ lyrics and humongous hooks, cemented by sticky NIN-esque drum & bass, portraying a fallen angel gone rogue.
[25-WR]
The Work (2021) – Rivers Of Nihil
[25-WR]
Feels like it’s been recorded inside an alien spaceship. Razorsharp guitar-swarming with icy elements and dreamy twists create a hostile sterility, dissecting ears… smoothly.
[25-WR]
Radical (2021) – Every Time I Die
[25-WR]
Imagine you’re an energetic Stoner at a Hardcore show inside a barn out in the boonies during a hot summer.
This will be your soundtrack.
[25-WR]
Violence Unimagined (2021) Cannibal Corpse
[25-WR]
Though not inventing the wheel anew, this 15th surgical cutthroat album full of tightly woven lead and rhythm precision exterminates every cockroach doubting their way.
[25-WR]
Screen Violence (2021) Chvrches
[25-WR]
This shining 80s retro-phase closing dance creeper hits its target group with (dirty) daring synths and slashing female hooks. The future eats the past.
[25-WR]
‚The Last One‘ To your Eternity s01e01 (2021) – Masahiko Murata
[25-WR]
Organic structure of a bottle episode opener that transforms itself incredibly quickly and deeply into an anthologic prodigy.
A Pilot directly on it‘s master flight.
