Costectomy/Nyctophagia – “Drone Hunting Missionaries For Sport” (a 2021 split review)

Posted on:

After some time spent checking not so usual music with my other webpage Indokult, dedicated to the Indonesian music , I’ve started craving some more unhinged underground music again. To be precise, good old goregrind and gorenoise. No, I won’t call it a “fix”, haha, but truth is – sometimes it’s just what the doctor has ordered. You know…going full circle and so forth… read more

Graveyard nightshift with Silvester (Fondlecorpse)

Posted on:

Hello, Silvester, I guess it’s a silly question to ask the scene veterans like you, but there are still many people who might not encounter your band before, therefore, a legit question – can you introduce Fondlecorpse to the readers of the Rubber Axe webzine? What can you tell us about the beginning of the band? As you were active in bands before, did you want to do something similar to the material of those previous bands, or try a new direction? read more

Dies Holocaustum – Scorched Promised Land (digital album review)

Posted on:

Since I’ve arrived to the UK I’d been wondering why metal is not more popular on these shores. Think about it – how many great metal bands from Britain you know? Yeah, exactly, quite a loads from basically every metal genre. But, unfortunately, metal is definitely underground here in the UK. Good thing? Bad? Hard to say, but what’s definitely a great thing is the fact there are so many bands to discover in what amounts to almost endless suply. read more

Locked down in Russia (an interview with Sergey Krechetov)

Posted on:

We’re no strangers to Russian underground scene – but we’ve only started to dip in the large reservoir of the sounds and noises coming from there. That’s why I always welcome the opportunity to learn more about various artists/labels from Russia. You could be familiar with Olga Tlen (and you should), and now, let’s welcome another noise artist – Sergey Krechetov. read more

Going Russian (J. R. interviews Excoriation)

Posted on:

Excoriation hails from Russia. A three-piece band from the Moscow area offering up splattery and slammy death metal. Their self-titled debut album on New Standard Elite remains one of my favorite death metal albums to blast in the car. Heavy, unrelenting, absolutely bulldozing music which puts me in a nice meditative state! Perfect driving music! Keeps me sane in a world of terrible drivers. I mean seriously, would you rather sit in traffic listening to some blabbering on the radio or put yourself in a mental trance of heart-pounding blastbeats? I choose the blast. read more
