Ultima Victima – La Batalla Sera Enterna — Detonate, 2010


If there's nothing that I hate more is moshcore bands that feel it necessary for their mosh parts to have mosh parts over mosh parts. Ulitma Victima are from Mexico and sing (well bark) in Spanish. The last time I took a Spanish class was in the 10th grade so I have no clue what's going on here. I can tell you that Ultima Victima really love their mosh parts and musically they probably really love Terror and Donnybrook too. La Batalla Sera Enterna wouldn't be half bad of an EP if it weren't for over moshiness of it. Yeah, I'm making up words tonight. This EP is ridiculous with its mosh parts. I almost laughing at it with its earnest tough guy bravado straight down to picture of these gentlemen mean mugging the camera. Then I look at the cover art and completely lose it. This band could probably kick the crap out of me, but at least I would die laughing.

Dealbreaker

New Sides
Late Again Records, Toll Free Records (2026)

Dealbreaker popped onto my radar as part of a package tour with Pro Wrestling, who cold called me with a Penske File namedrop. This story is a bit of a Canadian roundabout, but their methodology worked: I listened to their music and dug it enough to review it. And I'm mentioning it because, at times, Dealbreaker reminds me of The … Read more

The Library Is On Fire

Degeneration Elegies
The Abyss, Ltd. (2026)

There’s a certain kind of band that never quite fits the moment they arrive in. Sometimes too jagged for one scene, too melodic for another. The Library Is On Fire were one of those bands in the early 2000s, hovering somewhere between indie-punk urgency and power-pop instinct without fully settling into either. On Degeneration Elegies, their first full-length in over … Read more
