The choice that Morpheus poses to Neo between the “red pill” and the “blue pill” seems like a binary one. He even states it as such to Neo by saying you would either wake up in your bed or see how far the rabbit hole goes. I always saw a third option. Take both pills. Each pill is a reality but, … Continue reading Review: Cin The Ciege – The Gaytrix

Review: Hellcoil – Demon Rocks
Hellcoil‘s Demon Rocks‘ six songs are your rough hewn, stone steps of descent into a place of fire and brimstone. There is no turning around in those twenty minutes. No reprieve. Voices like souls in beautiful torment enrapture your ears like the wailing smoke of the damned. For full effect and to complete the incantation, repeat … Continue reading Review: Hellcoil – Demon Rocks
Review: Jade Fake – Kimchi Gonzales
I was never familiar with Filipino music or artists. My first full listening session of Jade Fake’s Kimchi Gonzales was my first exposure. And after those twenty minutes were over, I felt that pleasant disorientation that one feels after spending a day at a theme park with nothing but roller coasters. This is never a negative for me. … Continue reading Review: Jade Fake – Kimchi Gonzales
Review: CHANT+ by PeaceRussie
CHANT+ is a five track remix album of So Nice Yesterday’s Chant by PeaceRussie. A native of Baltimore, PeaceRussie (he/him) is a multimedia artist, that enjoys employing a “bend and twist until it breaks” method to all the forms their expressions take.

Review: Tiara & Andrew – How Real Are We? with the sing
I ran out of time this week to write this review. Just one of those things but, I decided to wake up this morning early, put on my crumbling pink kitty eared headphones and let my mind move from sleep to wake while listening. In my dawn light shadowed room, with cans and ears in … Continue reading Review: Tiara & Andrew – How Real Are We? with the sing
Review: Honeysuckle Eyes by SOCCERMOM WITH AN AK
I braced myself before playing Honeysuckle Eyes. Intuition told me that this album would be another moment of “Kollaps“, a deeply moving sonic event when I discovered industrial music for the first time. Industrial music, much like jazz, blues and middle eastern music, for me has a spiritual connection. From tone and rhythm, it all connects … Continue reading Review: Honeysuckle Eyes by SOCCERMOM WITH AN AK
Review: Fresh Idiot by Mikey Moo
I was exhausted from my sixth night of insomnia when I listened to Mikey Moo’s Fresh Idiot. Night before I spent a couple of hours playing guitar along with a room full of other queer, trans, gender expansive and non-binary people. This was the second session I went to with this group. It was magickal. A tribal … Continue reading Review: Fresh Idiot by Mikey Moo
Review of Sublime
One of the great joy of being a reviewer is when I get to check something out that might not have popped up on my radar were it not that I was running Paper Phoenix ink. This was the case with Peccadillo films release of Mariano Biasin’s Sublime. Sublime tells the story of a teenage … Continue reading Review of Sublime
Review of Monica
I went to see the movie Monica yesterday and I have…thoughts. It was released back in 2022 but did not make it to American cinemas until May of 2023. Somehow the movie had slid past my radar or maybe I just forgot about it since it took a while to get to my neighborhood. I … Continue reading Review of Monica
