Welcome to Episode 9 of the Face Ripper Records Podcast! This one is a little different. Tonight, I'm tackling my first full-album walkthrough, accompanied by a hot and spicy pizza. The challenge: the debut album from Italian one-man slam death metal project, Dark Rage, titled "Rise From The Underground." This is 16 minutes of relentless, blistering brutality. While it's a genre I'm still exploring, I was blown away by the musicality, the surprising production elements, and the sheer intensity of this record.

Join me as I react to all eight tracks, decide which two make it onto the playlist, and compare the experience to other brutal artists in our community like Bleakness of Eris and Famine. Does the pizza survive? Does my sanity? Let's find out.

Welcome to Episode 8 of the Face Ripper Records Podcast! Today we're revisiting a UK black metal project I reacted to a year ago: the brilliant Aldorfrea. This time, they're back with their brand-new track, "Cheirosiphon."

Before hitting play, I had to look up the title, and it turns out every day is a school day! A Cheirosiphon was a Byzantine-era portable flamethrower used to project liquid fire. With that image in mind, I dived into a track that builds from a tribal, battle-drum intro into a suspenseful, twisty, and ferocious black metal assault. Join me for a reaction to a song with interesting composition, impressive vocal shrieks, and some seriously cool riffs from a band that continues to deliver classic black metal bangers.

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Face Ripper Records Podcast! Today, we're diving into a special double-barrel reaction for the incredible Australian band, Seek Misery. These seasoned musicians combine elements of metalcore, deathcore, and nu-metal, and they are making serious waves worldwide.

First, I'm reacting to the music video for their recent single, "Flesh & Rust," a thick, atmospheric, and brutal track with some insane vocals. Then, we jump straight into their BRAND NEW song, "Ground War," which was released today and features a collaboration with Hate Complex. This second track is a completely different beast—an absolute grind-fest that showcases the band's incredible dynamism.

Join me for a reaction to two distinct but equally powerful tracks from a band you need to know, all ahead of their upcoming album, "Everyone You Love Will Leave," dropping this November!
