One of my favorite releases this year. Sounds just like old school Controlled Bleeding: industrial noise.
Trawlers Return: Controlled Bleeding (NY)(0:28-6:16)
Inquisitions’ seventh full release, riffing with clear guttural vocals accompanying. Fun retro thrash that dives into brutality and Satanic verses.
Vortex from the Celestial Flying Throne of Storms: Inquisition (Seattle)(7:45-13:03)
Hypnotic experimental jazz drone.
Two Of A Kind: Convulsif (Switzerland)(13:35-20:56)
Death that destroys. Exhausting. This new stuff is as good as their last stuff, so you’ll probably like the shit out of it.
Extinguished Light: Ulcerate (New Zealand)(21:30-30:12)
My boyfriend Chris Black just released another Dawnbringer (which I played last week); and now a new single from classic heavy metal High Spirits.
Reach For The Glory: High Spirits (Chicago)(31:05-35:20)
3-piece old school thrash with tons of breakdowns that you’ll feel to the depths of your armpits.
Realm Of The Heretic: Hellbringer (Australia)(35:56-39:12)
Even though I kind of compared him to a modern Chris Cornell, I dig the singer a lot. Stoner usually takes me want to kill all of you and life and eternity, this band jams and they sound more 70’s retro, so that is fun.
On And On (In Your Mind): Devil to Pay (Indianapolis)(40:05-44:09)
Beautiful and raw from Nox Formulae.
Hidden Clan NXN - Pt a Eleven Rays of Sorat, Pt b Black Magic Assault: Nox Formulae (Greece)(44:33-51:22)
Andy left San Francisco to go back to Minneapolis, which is probably 100% a good choice. He still owns part of an AWESOME Polish diner Stuffed, in the Mission, and if you haven’t been there, get over there and drink some beer. The band has romantic for the soul, crust to energize, and brutal for the wicked. Just wait for it to breakdown, it got me all perky.
Baptized In Shellfire: Feral Light (Minneapolis)(52:29-58:09)
Ridiculous gurgling cacophony.
The Curse of Zootankhamun ft Capt. StankDank (Bong Rips for Jesus): Dopehammer (UK)(58:40-END)
Behind the Vocals This week is all new retro synth and electronic: Ghost Suns, NightWave, Lehans, Peter Zimmermann, Moodblanc, Medsound, Vast Hill, Po-One, Hotter Than December
