Reptyle: Blazed Shades & Thorne Veils (2025)

I'm in the process of moving, so the wallpaper is gone and all my decor is packed up for a long drive south. But I still have the turntable set up for a few more days. Can't go too long without spinning a record or three.

Newsflash: Moving sucks.

Lessons In Purgatory: Death Sneaks Off To Rot / No Heaven Left To Burn (2026)

This one is extra special for me. Lessons In Purgatory is a deathrock band out of San Antonio, Texas. Not only do I consider them to be one of the best and truly authentic deathrock projects in existence, I also consider them to be friends. If you look at the record on the turntable, you'd think that this is a bat-colored record ... in reality, it's actually bat-shaped. It was recorded on a type of plastic that gives it a deliberate lo-fi sound; this was not pressed on standard pressing vinyl material. This gives the songs a noisy, scratchy, hiss-filled, underground quality. Like the tracks themselves are undead and crawling up from the grave. These two songs are taken from their new album, "The Vermin Sermons." If you like your deathrock squeaky clean, polished, and poppy, it's best you look elsewhere. Personally I'm grateful at least a small handful of bands are keeping the original undead spirit of deathrock alive... Illegal Funeral, Eat My Teeth, Altar De Fey, Shrouds... and of course Lessons In Purgatory.

BOMB THREAT - AFFIRMATIONS FOR THE NEW URBAN GUERRILLA (2023 demo)

When I see some release on bandcamp or YouTube or wherever, with a jcard format cover that looks like it's been Xerox'd to hell or has got a catchy name like "Demo (current year)" I simply must check it out. This is the sole release (as far as I know) by Pittsburgh's BOMB THREAT, with distribution by locals Filler Distro. The sounds are lo-fi in the extreme, but jokes on you I'm into that shit. Takes the typical raw crusty sounds you might expect from a band with these politics, but adds a distinct melodic touch that elevates the record into a more soaring and grand sound head and shoulders above the absolute glut of bands inhabiting this lane. Bandcamp tags call it melodic crust, or emo crust, or even neocrust. I call it kick-ass. They put fucking horns on the last song for God sake! HORNS! IN MY CRUST PUNK!

Go listen.
