Old Man Gloom: Seminar IX: Darkness Of Being Review

Posted on May 26, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

When I wrote this I wanted to try and make it more of a narrative but I wasn’t able to make it work. Part of that remains in the review as I felt it still worked as a framing device. … Continue reading →

One Thousand Word Challenge 47: Not Writing What I Should be Writing

Posted on May 10, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

I’ve been sitting here for a while procrastinating on writing. I probably should have started writing earlier, but I didn’t. Need to finish a review off, but that likely won’t happen until tomorrow morning at this stage. Such is the … Continue reading →

Along with most of my review and interview work, this review is also on Culture Eater. My colleague and I set up a Patreon to further develop Culture Eater as a source of good quality arts coverage from both ourselves and … Continue reading →

Wire: Mind Hive Review

Posted on April 21, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This kind of took long and kind of didn’t. It took longer than I hoped, but most of it came together over a few lazy hours. I knocked out a whole lot of notes one day last week, then scrapped … Continue reading →

Good Old War: Broken Into Better Shape Review

Posted on April 16, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This was the fifth album review I wrote for Cool Try. I think that at the time I was pretty happy with what I wrote. Looking at it now makes me realise that it is far, far too short. The … Continue reading →

Screamfeeder: Pop Guilt Review

Posted on April 12, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

I thought I shared this review here when I wrote it in 2017, but that appears to have not been the case. I feel this review is a little on the short side. For my review attempts, three-hundred words is … Continue reading →

Envy: The Fallen Crimson Review

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Once more a review that took far, far too long to complete. What I originally had was mostly complete. I ended up rewriting most of it, though not intentionally. It was a stressful process, though considering most of the review … Continue reading →

Posted on April 5, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

In early 2016 I conducted my first interview for Cool Try. It was with Frank Bello of Anthrax some time around the release of their 2016 album, For all Kings. The interview ended up going up on the site roughly … Continue reading →

Born Lion: Final Words Review

Posted on March 29, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

I can’t remember at all what this sounds like. I also can’t remember reviewing the album. It’s kind of odd as there are a bunch where I’ve seen the review I’ve written and gone “Oh, I remember covering that”, but … Continue reading →

…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead: X: The Godless Void and Other Stories Review

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This review took far too long. I’d started it in early February and now here we are. Most of this came together yesterday and this morning. I’d written a number of really rough paragraphs and started reworking those. Aside form … Continue reading →
