Klank: Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 [ALBUM REVIEW]

Posted By Reverend Leviathan on Sep 22, 2023 in Featured, Origin: DGM Staff, Review: Music, Reviews, Type: Article (w/ Photos)

Hitting the scene in ’93, Klank began as a solo project of Darren Diolosa. That changed about four years later following live performances, and Pat Servedio joined the project as a full-time member. Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 is the band’s 8th studio album and the long awaited follow-up to Vol. 1 that was released last year, which I would also recommend!

Imperialist: ZENITH [ALBUM REVIEW]

Posted By Kastrophylax on Jul 21, 2023 in Featured, Origin, Origin: DGM Staff, Review: Music, Reviews

Over the past decade or so, California has produced more than a few bands with fresh perspectives and interpretations of extreme metal subgenres such as technical death metal, black metal, and deathcore, among others. Teleporting in from environs east of Los Angeles, Imperialist engineers another exciting offering in a particular variant of black metal known as “cosmic” or “sci-fi” black metal. Taking musical and vocal elements from classic Scandinavian black metal, Imperialist creates their own unique sound with precision riffing, relentless drumming, savage yet articulate vocals…

That’s when we came across this amazing podcast…

The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook For Surviving Medieval England [BOOK REVIEW]

The book starts off with a bang as our amnesia-riddled protagonist finds himself in a field with a flaming outline of his body behind him and the burned remnants of a book scattered to the four winds. As he tries to figure out how he got to wherever this is, he realizes he knows things about the world and time he comes from, but nothing specific about himself. For some reason, he has a great desire to review everything around him in multiple-Star ratings, including trees, rivers, and forts. For example, after hiding behind a tree to evade ominous looking thugs, our protagonist mentally…
