Zero Gravity - My Jeffrey Dahmer

I recently received a very friendly request from the band Zero Gravity to review their latest single, and I was happy to give it a listen. From Innsbruck, Tyrol, Zero Gravity is a band that thrives on unpredictability. Formed by Dionys Dorner (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Berger (drums) in their teens, and joined by Christian Hubmann (bass, vocals), the trio has carved out a path defined by bold experimentation and a refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Their music blends punk, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge, and now gothic and metalcore elements, with a recurring “broken glam” aesthetic — raw, chaotic, yet undeniably engaging.

Their latest single, “My Jeffrey Dahmer”, is a provocative, ironic take on love songs, using a shocking metaphor to explore romantic failure with absurdist and nihilist undertones. The track carries a bitter sense of humor, with chaotic shifts in tone and energy that mirror the tension of its lyrical themes. Dionys’s vocals, at times reminiscent of early Nirvana, carry a raw, edgy quality that pairs with gritty, grunge-inspired guitars, while punk-driven drums and rock’n’roll grooves push the track forward with relentless energy. Despite its dark and ironic concept, the song is undeniably catchy, with hooks that stick in your head long after it ends.

Personally, the song didn’t fully resonate with me. The blend of punk, rock’n’roll, and grunge, along with the ironic, dadaist approach, felt a bit overwhelming, and the Nirvana-inspired tone didn’t quite connect with my tastes. Yet, it’s impossible to ignore the creativity at play — Zero Gravity is clearly unafraid to experiment, combining intense riffs, dark humor, and memorable hooks in a unique, if polarizing, package.

In the end, “My Jeffrey Dahmer” is a bold and unusual track. It may not appeal to every listener, but it showcases a band willing to push boundaries and confront the listener with both discomfort, wit, and an unexpected catchiness. For those who enjoy chaotic, ironic, grunge-infused punk, Zero Gravity offers something distinctively their own.

 My review on For Ruin - Painted in the colours of War Release : January 29th , 2026 Origin      : Cork , Ireland  Label      : Sentinel Records  Rating     : At The End Painted in the colours of War Painted In The Colours Of War is an album defined by atmosphere. From the very start , the mood is dark, heavy, and emotionally. This is not a record that rushes to impress,instead, it builds patiently , layer by layer, allowing tension and weight to accumulate before it finally releases. And when it does, it hits HARD . Musically, the album sits firmly within melodic blackened death metal . The guitars balance heaviness and melody well, creating riffs that feel both aggressive and expressive rather than purely technical. The drums are powerful and well-placed, giving the music a strong sense of drive without overwhelming the rest of the instrumentation. Everything feels intentional and controlled, yet never sterile. One of the key...

Victim - Nuclear Nightmare

 My Review on Victim - Nuclear Nightmare Release : December 6th , 2025 Origin     : Weimar , Germany Label      : Independent Rating    : At The End A blast of old-school thrash, raw energy, and unfiltered aggression. Nuclear Nightmare opens deceptively calm , a slow, brooding intro that lingers just long enough for you to wonder where it’s going, and then it detonates. The moment the drums hit, you’re thrown straight back into the era when thrash was dangerous, uncompromising, and bursting with youthful aggression. It feels like having an entire rehearsal room hurled at your face , in the best possible way. From the very start, Victim prove why the underground has been buzzing. The band delivers a blend of classic thrash, raw crossover energy, and subtle hints of hard rock and grunge. At times you hear Slayer. Other moments? Metallica. And occasionally a flash of early Sodom. These guys aren’t hiding their influences , they’re weaponizing...
