Longevity is one of Last Rites’ strong-suits. We’ve had more than our fair share of amazing contributors over the years (last count: 72), many of whom have gone on to bigger and less better things, and a considerable number of us continue to attack the keyboard with a decade or more of MetalReview/LastRites history under our belts. Credit those Friday afternoon lemon squares in the break room and weekend trips to the Catskills.
The core crew today:
Andrew Edmunds
Last Rites Co-Owner; Senior Editor; born in the cemetery, under the sign of the MOOOOOOON...
Blizzard of Jozzsh
Taller than Glenn Danzig, but shorter than a funeral doom LP. Lover of riffs and cheesy horror films. Hot wing connoisseur. Follow on X if you want: @blzzrdofjozzsh
Captain
Last Rites Co-Owner; Senior Editor; That was my skull!
Chris Sessions
I write for Last Rites, but in my mind it is spelled Lassed Writes because I am a dreamer.

Lo-fi words for a hi-fi world. Old. Weird. Nerd. Aotearoa New Zealand.

Coffee. Black.
David Fonseca
Ecclesiastic fire from Hell!
Jeremy Morse
Riffs or GTFO.
