Looking forward to get this. What's up with the high rating-reviews recently?

Written by Troy Killjoy on 03.06.2012 at 22:05

I have a slew of stuff from labels incoming so I'll inevitably be handing out a few not-so-nice scores. Hopefully not though.

A good blend of groove, hardcore, death metal, and sweeps; those are the things I like with my Dying Fetus.

I thought that Dr. Killjoy would find brutal death metal too crude and base.

Not sure if serious...

You know brutal death metal is one of my favorite sub-genres, right?

I was completely serious. Seeing as you review so much atmospheric "artistic" black metal, and brutal death metal is basically the opposite of that on the extreme metal spectrum, I just figured it wouldn't be your thing.

In any case, I'll try to focus on writing a few more bdm and grind reviews, especially since we don't see many around these parts without Herz manning the front.

This would be nice. We do need another BDM writer to fill Herz's spot, if I was any good at writing reviews I would take up the mantle but I suck at writing reviews...

That's ok, so did Herz

Written by Troy Killjoy on 09.06.2012 at 16:02

Agreed. He had some of the most ineloquent ways of telling you whether something was good or bad in his eyes. That being said, at least there were more front-page reviews of those kinds of releases. As much as I love writing about black metal, I think "for the good of the site" or whatever, maybe I should delve into some other genres for a bit. Grindcore and brutal death metal especially.

Yea, but as Troy stated at least somebody was reviewing those albums. My favorite reviewer though still is a dude named autothrall who reviews on his own blogspot called From The Dust Returned and he copy/pastes all his reviews to MA. The dude writes so many reviews, some are big names and some are very obscure, and it baffles me where he finds the time to listen to so many albums enough to be able to write a good review and then actually write the review; makes me wonder if the dude has any life whatsoever or if he literally spends ALL of his free time listening to albums and writing reviews...

I'm also not entirely sure it's from one person either, I think a number of people may write under that moniker for the blog: "This is a reviews blog initiated by the Penny Arcade Metal Thread community. We primarily cover metal and other forms of music..."

Written by psykometal on 10.06.2012 at 00:59

That would definitely make a lot more sense, it seems awefully inhuman the number of reviews that come from that blog. I always read the reviews from the MA site, never really looked into the blog much or I'm sure I would've noticed that quote you posted...

I still have to check this out, just hadn't had a chance yet. Looking forward to the interview too, which I believe I saw mentioned in another thread that you guys are going to interview the band in the near future.
