The Mothman Prophecies is one key, wholly compelling, at points downright chilling supernatural thrillers of the 2000s. It tells of a grief-stricken reporter (Richard Gere) getting tangled up in the mysteries of a small Virginia town- where people are reporting premonitions, having encounters with red eyed/ eight foot cyprids, and getting phone calls from nonhuman entities. The film is a steady ‘n’ slow-burning affair heavy with a constant prevailing air of mystery and dread, with nerve-jangling moments of fearful reveal & out ‘n’ out terror. Here from 88 Films- as either a UHD or Blu-ray- is a much-needed new release of this creepy & unsettling classic. It features a new and classy 4k scan, two new commentary tracks, a new feature-length documentary, and a good selection of new/ archive extras.

Severin
2026 is the twentieth anniversary of Severin- one of the best-known and respected labels in cult/ b-movie circles. At M[m], we’ve been reviewing the label's output for around ten years now- racking up around one hundred and fifty of their releases covered on the site. So, we’ve decided to look back and select our top twenty releases to date!... These include releases from the sub-labels InterVision & Severin Kids, with indepth reviews for each!

Concept albums are a dime a dozen in the prog world, and until the past few years, very sparse in the death metal morgues (save for Deceased's output, where concept is their stock in trade). Cartilage throws their hat into the thematic ring with Operating Altar, a work about a medical student uncovering the wicked and depraved experimentation of surgeon Dr. Warwick Locke. A dream job turned waking nightmare set to fun, fast-paced, and shredding death metal, Operating Altar spins its yarn while capturing the horror and, dare I say, whimsy of acts like Macabre and Exhumed.
Here we have Maca Conu, a jazz ensemble headed by Belgian pianist Jonas Cambien, which has existed since 2021 and has released a few other recordings. This latest album, "Popular Misconceptions", has come out on Sonic Transmissions, and is thirty-six minutes long, with seven songs two to six minutes in length. The instrumentation is classic acoustic jazz, with saxophone, double bass, drums and piano.

Olion Interview
Active since the early 2020’s, Olion is one of the key projects within the euro wall-noise scene. To date, it’s put out around seventy releases- taking in both physical and digital form- with stand-alone releases, splits, and collaborations. Sound-wise, their output moves between pummelling, thick-yet oddly soothing. To more texturally layered, and forays into ANW. Behind the project is Olek Browiński from Olsztyn in northern Poland, and he kindly agreed to give us an email interview
A Julian Cope Primmer
Erupting into the mainstream on February 19th 1981, The Teardrop Explodes’ debut ‘Top of the Pops’ television performance featuring their brassy, bouncy hit ‘Reward’ is to this day probably the moment from which most people recall Julian Cope. If your image of Julian remains that of an earnest young budding pop star sporting a fleece-collared flying jacket and a shaggy bowlcut of shoulder-length tresses, if you failed to maintain pace with his entry into the cosmos, if you dismissively describe him (as I’ve seen thereabouts) as “a Smash Hits pin-up”, you have one hell of a lot of catching up to do. Musique Machine have tasked me with leading their readers through the psychedelic jungle and beyond, here, and I have to say that Julian probably merits the ‘beginners’ guide to’ / ‘recommended records’ treatment more than just about any other artist in the music sphere, at least in terms of how public perception and the ‘reality’ (if such a word is appropriate in this extreme case) have a near-unbridgeable gulf.
Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere Interview
Early this year, the band released their most recent album Theta 7, on Discus Music-which is sadly to be their last. Band leader Martin Archer kindly agreed to give us an email interview, discussing the project's history & why they’ve decided to call it a day.
Vacant Align Interview
Active since October 2025, Wisconsin’s Vacant Align is one of the more atmospheric and texturally inventive wall noise projects to appear in some time. It’s a project that takes its time in releasing work, and you can certainly hear it, as each of their releases so far is a perfectly crafted blend of expressive and engaging textures. Behind the project is John Engman, who very kindly agreed to give us an email interview
