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.
