From the late 2000s, Maskhead is a film that blends hulking monster-man horror, modelling/ casting satire, and gruelling extreme torture/ gore. It mixes these elements in an often haphazard, tonally unbalancing, and at times confusing manner. Here from Unearthed Films- those seekers of all things cinematically extreme- is a recent Blu Ray release of the film, which is loaded with extras, both new & old.

Pete Davidson is a prominent media figure these days, famed as much for his celebrity romances and offscreen antics as he is for his comedic performances. But unfortunately, this serves to undermine a stand-up style that, while it does explore the usual frat boy gags, is coupled with a fierce honesty and searing vulnerability in no small part due to the death of his fireman father on September 11. Starting out as one of the youngest ever of the SNL crew, Davidson initially veered into film with a bit part in Judd Apatow’s 2015 Trainwreck before moving into blockbusters, including Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and The Suicide Squad. He’s no stranger to horror either, recently taking a key role in the (relatively low-budget) 2022 film Bodies Bodies Bodies, and now the lead in James DeMonaco’s, The Home. 

Director-cinematographer Jonathan Zaurin weaves two sides of a violent crime to explore trauma and grief in his compelling 2024 revenge thriller, Derelict.

Originally released on limited cassette in 2021, Spain's DAYOFWRATH brought forth blackened industrial with their highly lauded And The World Will Perish In Flames. Cyclic Law picks up the mantle from Cloister Recordings with their loving CD release of this sought after, out of print tape. While still as secretive today as at the time of the original release, DAYOFWRATH show why they're not only one of Spain's strongest group of industrial madmen, but also the world's. Choosing dark industrial rhythms over scathing noise, the ritualistic qualities ensure that the listener will fall under the band's spell, becoming part of the eschatological mayhem the short but effective album delivers.

Hydrostatic Kill Pressure is created around manipulated water recordings. The nearly twenty-minute walled noise track is focused on a rewarding/ at point detailed mix of drilling, droning, and juddering texturing.

Memories Of Space is a single forty-six-minute example of the walled noise form, which is all about layers of slowly shifting rumble 'n' churn. As its title suggests, it very much brings to mind the slow/steady flow of a spaceship, with the subtle undertones of dark unease suggesting either something steadily growing in the darkness, or something malevolent awaiting at the end of their journey.
