From the late  1990’s, Violent New Breed, I think, stands as one of the ambitious  SOV Horror films I’ve ever seen. It has several interwoven storylines, a large cast, and some impressive effects ‘n’ gore. The film weaves together the following plot lines: two cops investigating a new street drug which causes demonic birth, a group of marauding demons in human form, the revealing of a young antichrist, and a few other subplots. It’s certainly impressive, if at points slightly muddled/ confused SOV Horror film- that will most certainly want to be seen by fans of the genre.

Ozone: The Attack of the Redneck Mutants is a mid-'80s slice of obscure regional horror- focusing on a small Texas town beset by nuclear zombies. It’s a very low-budget affair, with gloppy/ melty gore effects, rather hapless/ hopeless heroes, a sense of off-key humour, and a fair bit of very clear padding. Here from Visual Vengeance, resurrectors of long-forgotten VHS fare, is a Blu-ray release of the film.   Taking in several commentary tracks, a fair few other extras, and for this first edition O-Card with alternate art by The Dude,12-page Mini Comic Book, Ozone Mutant Puke Bag, and Muther Video Logo Sticker

Brazilian death duo Fossilization return with Advent of Wounds, their eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2023's Leprous Daylight. Setting the stage with a new drummer on board, the pair (now trio) fire off seven frenetic tracks chock to the brim with brutal blasts, riotous riffs, and gross gutturalizations. While nearly three years felt like an eternity to wait between releases, once the first note explodes from the speakers, time disappears, and one is dropped right back into the doom-laden, death-defined world of Fossilization.

Chwasty Polskie ( in English, Polish Weeds) is the debut album from this Warsaw three-piece. It’s a five-track affair that oftens a atmospheric, often building/developing sound that weaves together elements of electronica, post rock, post industrial/ ambient soundscapes and moody improv - for an engaging and at times rewardingly unpredictable ride

Here’s the next sonic chapter in the Zonal Disturbances series, which sees longtime Euro mood setter/ ambient-scaper offer up long-form pieces created via guitar and effects pedals.  And this time around, there’s a nice variation in tone and mood between the four tracks featured.

Modular Fields is the fifth feature-length from this British three-piece. It features four around fifteen-minute tracks, which each move through varied and esoteric themed electronica and ambient sonic journeys. Bringing to mind the likes of Tangerine Dream, Coil, as well as slightly more abstract fare/ freeform electro-fare.

Many years in the making, the original recordings for Stephen O‘Malley‘s latest solo work, Spheres Collapser, date from December 2021. Even more remarkable than the latency of this two–part composition‘s release, is the instrument that serves as both source material and structural guidepost for O‘Malley‘s minimalist pieces, Les grandes Orgues de Lausanne: a singular, Frankenstein of a pipe organ that amalgamates designs from the three previous centuries. This majestic behemoth sits like a reliquary in the Église Saint-François in Switzerland, its sound both taut and terrifying. The two compositions, “Phase I & II Organ” respectively, each fill out the side of a standard LP and represent two very different takes on the instrument, realised with organist extraordinaire, Kali Malone and sound artist Frederikke Hoffmeier (aka Puce Mary).

Several years before the appearance of Art the Clown & the Terrifier franchise, there was another brutal, gore-loving killing machine clown on the block.  Gurdy- is a plump, white-suited, black balding wigged, and huge hatchet-carrying killer- who's the star of 100 Tears- which blends extremely brutal stalk ‘n’ slash, with investigation thriller, and light touches of humour. Here from Unearthed Films is a Blu-ray release of the film, taking in a director's commentary tracks, and a few other things.

With a title like Garden Of Love, you may be expecting a romantic drama based in the outdoors, or possibly some form of horticultural-themed porn. But in reality, it’s an early 2000’s slice of German Splatter, from one of the kings of the genre Olaf Ittenbach( Black Past, Premutos: The Fallen Angel, Legion of the Dead). The film regards a young woman being tormented by bloody visions of a past she can't fully remember. All she knows is that all of her family was slaughtered when she was a child.

Blood Dolls is a Charles Band film from the late 90’s, which stands as one of his most wacked out & comic-book creations. It regards a masked eccentric billionaire-come mad doctor, who decides to take revenge on competitors via killer dolls he’s created. It also features a caged girl rock band, a philosophical clown-faced painted butler, moments of spurting red gore, and a hell-of-a-lot campness. Here from Full Moon Features, as either a Blu-ray or DVD, is a release of the film, taking in a few archive extras
