Death Cab For Cutie – Transatlanticism
Review — February 29, 2004
The members of Death Cab For Cutie equal far more than the sum of their parts; this much has been evident since a small, unknown label from Seattle named Barsuk released Something About Airplanes back in 1999. In the four years since that record, the band has released three 7" …
Another Kind of Death – Sleepless Every Night
Review — February 20, 2008
Anyone that knows anything about gun safety knows that no one ever stuffs a loaded gun down the front of their pants. That's just a good way to blow your wiener off. Sure you may see movie or any random gangster rap video where some dillrod shoves a .357 down …
Murder By Death – Red of Tooth and Claw
Review — March 10, 2008
With their fourth full-length album, Murder by Death has finally brought all their varying influences together. Each of the band's previous recordings focused on a general indie rock sound, but they also flirted with various musical styles: folk, country, Americana, classical, and post-punk, among others. But with Red of Tooth …
Murder By Death – In Bocca Al Lupo
Review — June 1, 2006
Music is an art, and oftentimes musicians will use their art to tell a story - concept albums have become increasingly popular in recent years. Murder by Death dabbled in this genre with their previous effort, Who Will Survive, And What Will Be Left of Them?. And while they have …
Death Before Disco – Barricades
Review — September 13, 2006
I'll be the first to admit that I often judge a book by its cover the same way I judge a band by their name and cover art. Simply based on these indicators, Death Before Disco did not give me great first impressions. I mean, Death Before Disco; not only …
Interviews: Murder By Death (III)
Feature — May 6, 2012
In this, their third SPB interview, Murder By Death vocalist Adam Turla and cellist Sarah Balliet talk to us about touring pizza parlours, the perks of being on Tarantino's soundtracks, "old-time" compact discs and concept albums. You can read our earlier interviews with the band here and here. …

Interviews: Murder By Death
Feature — March 7, 2011
Murder by Death have been making their way back and forth across the country in support of their latest album, Good Morning, Magpie. After traversing their way through a brutal storm in the Midwest, they managed to make it to sunny California. There, Scene Point Blank had a …
Interviews: A Death Cinematic Post Rock Upstarts?
Feature — October 25, 2010
Following the incredible double CD album A Parable On The Aporia Of Vengeance And The Beauty Of Impenetrable Sadness, quite a few nagging questions ate at me as I listened to the album and its follow up release (the split with Sons of Alpha Centaurii) that asking the artist …Interviews: Murder By Death
Feature — October 16, 2010
While many artists write songs, Murder by Death vocalist and guitarist Adam Turla takes a more literary approach, writing narratives that tell detailed stories as opposed to songs. Turla's unique writing approach has allowed the Bloomington, IN outfit to defy genre-defining limitations and gives the band one of the …Other Reviews: Review: Death Race 2000
Feature — October 16, 2010
In the days of 1975, a lot of shit was goin' down. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but there was. Oh! Wait, that OPEC thing . . . no, that was early 80's. Whatever, stuff happened. Despite all this, Roger Corman came out …
Bloody Hammers – Lovely Sort of Death
Review — January 2, 2017
Bloody Hammers hail from North Carolina and specialize in doom. The band was founded by Anders Manga, who remains the main songwriter and performer - recruiting others only for tours. Manga's partner-in-dirge is keyboardist, Devalia and while she has been with Manga since the beginning, it would seem she is …
Sick of it All – Death to Tyrants
Review — May 18, 2006
Does this band honestly need any kind of introduction? Seriously, Sick of it All is an institution in the punk and hardcore scene. Having been active for over twenty years at this point, the band has truly hit on a creative renaissance of late with their last album Life on …
Nag – Nagged to Death
Review — November 19, 2018
Musicwise I grew up in the '90s. Unlike my peers I did not enjoy the punk of that time (Green Day and The Offspring), nor grunge. In fact I only recently discovered that a couple of the bands stemming from that scene are worth my time. Instead of …
TenHornedBeast – Death Has No Companion
Review — May 29, 2017
A master of dark ambient, Christopher Walton became first known through his time as one-half of Endvra. The duo released a series of excellent albums, with The Great God Pan standing out, infusing neo-classical perspectives and tribal rhythms into their dark ambient core. Since the end of Endvra, Walton …
The Hope Conspiracy – Death Knows Your Name
Review — September 24, 2006
For those that did not hear The Hope Conspiracy's recent teaser 7" Hang Your Cross (which was later released as a CD and in digital format), now is your chance. Let me just say, WOW! I figured that the new full-length, Death Knows Your Name, would be good (this …
Symphorce – Become Death
Review — May 28, 2007
This record really surprised me. When I got it, I was excited about the fact that they are a power metal band. I can't get enough of the stuff, so naturally I was stoked. I started checking out the CD insert and saw that they are from Germany. Germany has …
Renee Heartfelt – Death of the Ghost
Review — December 27, 2005
I often wonder how musicians reach the point in their lives where they want to make a change in their musical endeavors. Perhaps they no longer find the frantic and chaotic world of hardcore/punk interesting. Maybe they have been screaming and breaking shit on stage for so long that they …
Beast of Revelation – The Ancient Ritual of Death
Review — March 23, 2020
There is a lot of scholarship devoted to determining which monstrosity in the Book of Revelations is its titular "Beast." Revelation 11:7 introduces us to a creature that rises from the abyss (or the sea… it's somewhat unclear), a mysterious creature, adorned with crowns and proclaiming blasphemy. The second contender …
