The J. Hexx Project Broken Mirrors, Shattered Minds review by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 03 Mar 2013 in Reviews

Advanced Review By Chad Thomas Carsten The Giallo addict “The J. Hexx Project”is back! “Broken Mirrors Shattered Minds” will bring Hip-Hop fans back to the glory days of Non Phixion and Gravediggaz. Each beat was produced by J. Hexx himself. It’s more focused on bars/rugged raw wordplay like ”Seven Doors Of Death”, than the story telling of “Mountain Of The Cannibal God”, but that doesn’t mean it’s not destined to become a cult classic within the underground. You motherfuckers ain’t ready for this, for the lyrics of Broken Mirrors, Shattered Minds, will swiftly pierce through your abdomen via one lunatic, one ice pic. The flow of “Opera Of Fear” will reanimate a corpse to get up and walk, while...

Alzymerz Favorite tracks from Methods Of Madness by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 03 Mar 2013 in Reviews

Favorite tracks reviewed by Chad Thomas Carsten Alzymerz is one of the grimiest Hip-Hop artists in Australia right now. The album features Insane Poetry, Mastamind of Natas, and even all members of Canada’s Psych Ward! Methods Of Madness is gritty, brilliant , and will keep you nodding your head for days! “Children Of Death” is the king of the album! It’s an 9 min posse track that kicks off with an Alex Jones rant “You Are Children Of Death”. This posse cut will slice through your trachea as you take in your final breath, but after listening it will leave you feeling more alive than ever! Impressive! Each guest slayed! Guest’s include True Grit, Donnie Menace, Anonamix, Kid Doms,...

C. Jay Dinero – MGM Grand [REVIEW]

Posted 26 Dec 2012 in Reviews
single_panel_CD_insert.indd

1. MGM Grand (Intro) – The 2Pac intro fits perfect with the beat and the topic of the song. Song goes pretty hard and the bass slaps for sure. 8/10 2. Illuminati – At first when you hear the title of this song, you think it’s another typical underground rapper dissing the infamous “illuminati,” but on the contrary, C. Jay Dinero talks about how much money he’s getting and compares his paper trail to the Illuminati’s bank account. Another Waka Flocka/Gucci Mane style banger. 9/10 3. Green Lights (Go!) – Errythang’s a go on this track. Shit goes hard. 7.5/10 4. Hold Up! (feat. Referee) – Komron’s bringing straight inferno’s on this whole album so far. Got some hood...

A FN Halloween Review by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 04 Dec 2012 in Reviews

OG Horrorcore fans will rejoice! This compilation features brand new exclusives and personal cult favorites among the wicked underground Hip-Hop scene, which includes the return of Judge Cryptic and Kreepy X! There is a little bit of everything for everyone. Chopper skills, Ghetto Metal, and of course the sick and twisted story telling horror fans crave. The compilation kicks off with the Devil Shyt Black Metal misfits “Brothaz Grimm”. Their track “Mark Of The Devil”, is unequivocally their best track to date! Very strong effort that fuses Black Metal growls and early Three Six Mafia. It will split some skulls. The freezing moon will rise! Fan of “The Exorcist” and Midwest chopper flows?! Well, AkVoN’s “Possessed” is for you....

Mr. Hyde “If It Bleeds We Can Kill It” mixtape review by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 02 Dec 2012 in Reviews

The pits of hell will open up beneath New York City, because of Mr. Hyde. “If It Bleeds We Can Kill It”, is a behemoth! It features Hyde over classic industry beats with brand new verses and hooks, even guest appearances from Necro and Q-Unique! Hyde slaughtered each beat, like they were meant to be originally his. Each bar will penetrate the listeners ears, as if “Leatherface” himself had them strapped down to a chair, dismembering each listener while the mixtape plays vociferously in the background. The title track will be stuck in your head for days on end, it’s Hyde’s most infectious hook to date. If Quentin Tarantino decides to make a gore flick about a sledgehammer wielding...

Outbreak Monkey Monkey Pox Album Review by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 02 Dec 2012 in Reviews

Oh shit! I think my skin is breaking out after listening! Wicked Wisconsin are one of the best in the underground and “Outbreak Monkey” keeps getting better after each release. “Monkey Pox” is unique and without a doubt proves Horrorcore is not going to die anytime soon. “Pig Roast”, (Featuring Mars of Mad Insanity Records, Boondox formely of Psychopathic Records & Lo Key formerly of Mission Infect) is a nod towards NWA’s “Fuck The Police” and will have listeners starting riots against their local police stations. “Attack Of The Brain Takers” (Featuring Dark Half) scares up bonafide thrills via zombies, while “Doomsday Supper” features rocking riffs that will slice into your spleen!

McNastee “Runaway Train Of Thought” E.P. Review by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 02 Jul 2012 in Reviews

McNastee has been part of the underground music scene for years. What I admire the most about him, He doesn’t just venture into Hip-Hop. He did an incredible cover of Nine Inch Nail’s “Something I Can Never Have” and his album artwork is killer. The Runaway Train Of Thought E.P. features stunning production by the legendary Ghetto Metal producer “Sutter Kain”. Now this isn’t Rap Metal, but it’s true Hip-Hop that sample Rock’s finest acts. Each track will rock your face off, starting out by blowing a hole through your chest via McNastee’s signature flow. The E.P. kicks off with “Not Your Fault”. A track about not giving up. Even through of all life’s obstacles you keep pushing to...

Castro The Savage “The Getaway 2″ Review by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 26 Jun 2012 in Reviews

Castro The Savage is an elite in the wicked underground scene. He’s been part of Mad Insanity Records, did tracks with Hip-Hop artist Cage and actress Milla Jovovich. His wordplay is scintillating, maniacal and most of all original. He keeps proving no one is quite like him. “The Getaway 2″ is the sequel to the 2004 album “The Getaway”. This release was recorded during house arrest, and what Castro himself has described, “The darkest part of his life”. The album is his most personal to date and the last to carry the savage name. It kicks off with a compilation track titled “Previously On”, to show where the artist has been over the years. “Did I Do It” is...

So Sick Social Club “Dead Friends Don’t Tell” review by Chad Thomas Carsten

Posted 27 Apr 2012 in Reviews

Hollywood Undead meets Gwar, incorporated with gang vocals and the rhyming schemes of The Beastie Boys. Toronto’s So Sick Social Club’s debut, “Dead Friends Don’t Tell”, defines the meaning of Hip-Opera. Impressive guest features that include Onyx, Necro, Slaine of La Coka Nostra, Jason Rock Of Slaves Of Dope and even Mad Child of Swollen Members. Every track has a guest appearance.

The debut single “Sweet Nothing” (The Reel Wolf Remix), will be stuck in your head for days thanks to the chorus. Indisputably...
