[Review] TRIA PRIMA - ‘Three Primes of Alchemy’ EP
The lost arts of alchemy foretold the ability to meld metal, matter, elements and more in a carefully-prepared concoction. We can say much the same of Ukraine’s Tria Prima, whose Three Primes of Alchemy EP is combed over by fellow ISC staffer and honestly-probably-a-wizard-IRL, Dean. Check out the review, with further artist/album links available as well! Slava Ukraini.

[Dicey News] EXALTED FUNERAL Brings Thee: Godhusk from Plastiboo! Cave Evil Art Book! Ungodz!
If you erroneously believe there’s no overlap between indie tabletop-roleplaying, extreme metal brutality and sick grimdark art, I’ve got news for you son. More specifically, darlings of the TTRPG OSR-focused underworld Exalted Funeral do. I just added commentary and SICK art. ITT: metal-as-hell RPG books in The Glumdark, Dirtbagz, Ungodz, Arkos , a compendium of nasties in Manifester Monsters, plus a shooty-shooty sci-fi RPG Kickstarter Dirtbagz. A few Kickstarters actually!
