Bloody Ruckus – “Resurrection of the Broken Reflection” review

Bloody Ruckus is a 31 year old MC from Suamico, Wisconsin starting out in 2009 by releasing his debut EP Coming Out the Woods. This was followed up with the full-length debut Nightmarez from the Rez: The Rage, which was a popular piece of morbid art locally. The sophomore effort My Bloody Valentine after his 2nd EP Dark N Cold saw him gaining international attention since it came out around the same time as he infamously filmed a woman’s finger getting chopped off & her blood being drank a month after the 17th annual Gathering of the Juggalos in 2016, which was the last Gathering that Majik Ninja Entertainment performed at before they & Psychopathic Records severed ties only 6 months later. Scum signed Bloody Ruckus to Lyrikal Snuff Productionz once coming home & is following up his LSP debut Funeral Macabre with his 4th album.

“Vengeance” is this EVIL trap metal opener to the LP making it known that he’ll leave you in a body bag with the rest of your entire crew whereas “Night Terrors” featuring Rece’s Aura takes the cloudy trap route instrumentally talking about dragging the chains through the frost. “Cowbell Demon” turns the bass up to 11 daring anyone to step inside his slaughterhouse at their own risks & “I’m Gonna Nut in Your Urn” demonically calling out pussy muhfuckas.

DOWN6 joins Bloody Ruckus for “This World Hates Me” so both of them can get in their emo rap/trap metal bag for nearly 3 & a half minutes just before a personal highlight for me “Stop Glorifying Rats” angrily lashes out at people that praise snitches, which I am fully on board with. “Bright Lights” hauntingly encourages to let Lucy open up everyone’s 3rd eye whether you’re doing DMT or shrooms, but then “666 Up in da Sky” featuring C4$PA fuses g-funk & horrorcore excellently regardless of the average guest appearance.

“Misanthropic” kinda has this EDM flare to the beat detailing his dislike for humanity altogether hence the title leading into “Welcome 2 Wicked Wisco” mixing elements of both g-funk & trap together representing Suamico & the underground wicked shit scene as a whole. “Flatline” heavily warns everyone that anyone who takes him for a joke will be left with hollow tips in ‘em while “Modern Atrocities” featuring Warlord Colossus demonically talking about their brains not being the same.

As for “Say No More”, we have Bloody Ruckus eerily giving us a glimpse of his gangsta mindset living by the gun while “Lord of Grudge” unsettlingly talking about running out of medication watching shadows crawl again. “Omega” is this horrorcore/electronic dance hybrid leaving full clips in the mouths of anyone running their mouths speaking ill towards him while “Every Dog Has His Day” uncannily addresses the titular expression.

“Wendigo” nears the end of the Resurrection of the Broken Reflection getting on the rap rock tip once more referencing the evil spirit originating from Algonquian folklore while “Bring ‘Em to the Darkside” featuring Donnie Menace, DOWN6, Scum, Smallz 1 & Saw da Ghozt comes through with a 6-minute posse cut with a reference to the inaugural IWGPヘビー級王座, former 12-time WWE world champion, WWE tag team champion, 2-time WWE Hall of Famer & Real American Beer founder Hulk Hogan. “Reflejo Roto” heinously talking about being a broken reflection of a man & “Eternity” ends by hellishly painting himself as a demon on the throne.

Crazy to think that this the same guy who filmed that woman’s finger getting chopped off & her blood being drank because I vividly remember when the news of that broke out & never would I have thought that he’d sign to LSP & return home with his best album yet. The production’s more darker & refined than Bloody Ruckus’ previous material, overcoming all obstacles & letting new listeners know who he is.

Score: 4/5

Damien Quinn – “The Great Red Dragon” review

Damien Quinn is a 33 year old MC from Kenosha, Wisconsin gaining notoriety in the underground as part of the horrorcore duo Dark Half. They only put out 2 critically acclaimed albums together until his partner in rhyme Geno Cultshit passed away of a drug overdose in 2015, but Damien kept himself busy by dropping a handful of EPs leading up to his official solo debut Disorder a couple summers back. But after a few delays, he’s finally following it up with a sophomore effort.

“B.M.A.L.” begins the album by talking about making them all bleed accompanied by an electro-trap beat from Devereaux whereas “Acadia” takes things into a more trap metal direction talking about the apocalypse. “Unconscious” is an awkward cover of Monoxide’s solo cut off the House of Krazees’ 1994 sophomore album Season of the Pumpkin as much as I love the original, but makes up for it with the demonic “I Can Make Them Change”.

Meanwhile on “Cursed”, we have Damien expressing his desire to watch the world burn on top of a manic instrumental leading into the eerie serial killer themed “Manhunter”. He later takes a shot that those who thought they’d try to kill him whilst reviving the trap metal sound on “Ready-Set-Assemble” with that type of production further carried into the mosh pit anthem “Panic Button”.

“ĆVND1RÜ” is a distorted call to expose the bones of the mistreated & unknown while “Hausu” addresses his lover with the production taking a stripped back detour. “The Woman Clothed in the Sun” works in some keyboard melodies attached to mythological lyricism & finally there’s the closer “Chapter 54”, which is a misty declaration of not conforming.

Of all the projects that Damien has dropped on his own since Geno’s untimely passing, this is finest one of them all. The production choices have significantly improved & we get a very well-told story of who The Great Red Dragon really is.

Score: 4/5
