Hungarian musician Csarnogurszky István is quite prolific, helming Black HillmusicformessierRealm of WolvesStvannyr, and of course Silent Island. His most recent release is The Curse of Coleodeia under Silent Island.

As it can be often witnessed with prolific bands and/or musicians, the output may tend to suffer in quality due to the quantity in which it comes about. It’s obviously not a universal rule, as there are plenty of exceptions around, although it does tend to be the case more often than not.

The curse of Coleodeia is one release, which I personally feel took a toll from this. It’s not necessarily bad, although it lacks particular personality, or any redeeming ideas which could make it memorable in any way. It’s surely an easy-going and enjoyable ride for fans of light hearted post-rock and music that isn’t particularly soliciting. Although, it’s really not much more than that, especially considering that it’s rather short, along with the rest of its qualities.

Along her journeys, she … Read more

Suicides
Steadfast Records, Sweet Cheetah Records (2025)

Calling themselves "Fevermooon," FVRMN is led by J Holmes and Suicides is the second album in as many years. In a broad summary, I thought Back To The Whip was like a drawn out Leatherface or Jawbreaker record. Similar gruff vocals, personal lyrics, but paced with slower tempos and longer songs. Jumping to the present, Suicides has captured the tone … Read more

Who Let The Dogs Out
City Slang (2025)

I ramble, at length, about basically everything. Word limits fear me. My friends dnf my texts. I think I may have single handedly crashed Twitter. Straight to the point, I am not. However, in the spirit of things, I’m going to dive right in. Who Let The Dogs Out is Lambrini Girls’ first full length album. 11 tracks, 29 minutes, … Read more
