Whoo doggie!
Damn! What a trip, Starting in Chicago and ending up in Ukraine, and beyond (not in a pleasant way) this was an awesome tale revolving around some crazy black metal musicians recording their newest album. I love the way this story unfolded, I wouldn’t even call this horror until the last 35%, and then the (hehe) really hits the fan, and never stops. I love this book. I love black metal. I love David Peak. Bleak, foreboding, cold, heavy, tons of drugs, and one of my favorite goats ever imagined. You should read this baby if you’re into having a killer time with your books, like me.
4/5 Strigoi Skulls

I thought this was going to be a horror novel but it wasn’t, really. I liked the writing style, though and will pick up more by this author

Interesting, but felt rushed at the end. I liked the idea of it, but not the execution so much.

Bastante decepcionado. A pesar de que, desde mi punto de vista, hay muy buenas ideas, la estructura es un caos, hay escenas que no aportan nada que son larguísimas y otras cruciales que pasan en un suspiro. Y si te gusta el BM, las descripciones que hacen de la música (puede decir más veces "atronadora" y similares?) son bastante poco realistas para unos personajes que literalmente viven de esa música. No sé, igual esperaba más.

A cosmic horror novel about black metal. First most important thing to not is Peak the author knows black metal so thumbs up there. This is a cool book, I am going to save most of my thoughts for a audio/video review That my Dickheads co-host Anthony Trevino and I are doing as we both read it. I will update this review with a link when it happens.

Throw some black metal into the universe of Laird Barron and you've got the broad strokes of Corpsepaint. It's a slow burn with all the pay out at the end but the pay out is pretty damn satisfying. I've known a lot of metalheads in my day and I recognized a lot of them in Peak's writing. I liked it a lot!
