Behind My Vocals: https://christophersneeringer.bandcamp.com/album/el-studio-session
0:25-8:40
CONVULSING
(AU)
Strewn/Adrift
— Don't underestimate one-man bands.
Convulsing has the brains of several weirdos, with a mix of black,
psychedelic, melodic, drone and gloom. Structures caving to
drifting and back to ferocious.
9:58-17:51
THOU (Baton
Rouge)
Elimination Rhetoric
— 5th full-length from Thou is what
you would expect: depressive sludge, ambient, melancholy melodic
and a spectrum of vocals.
18:48-24:41
GOURMAND (Kansas
City)
Perpetual Sickness
— Gourmand is styled like their album
cover, a splash of warm color over a sharp, cold technical body.
Cello and acoustic guitar is a bright respite in their
brutality.
25:46-31:25
IDLES
(Bristol)
Colossus
— Bristol punks want you to find joy
as the resistance, gawd how sweet. These are hot British guys you
want to hug and punch and drink beers with. Stylized punk with deep
lyrical content.
32:00-39:38
OCCELENSBRIGG
(Portugal)
The Falling Guardians of Death and
Life
— Difficult raw muddy production with
horror vocals. This gets mesmerizing. Don't give up.
40:08-43:42
ABYSMAL TORMENT
(Malta)
Strains Of Brutality
— Maltese boys with a terrible
attitude. Gorgeous coastal landscape and aqua water is a hotbed for
gory death metal.
44:48-48:44
NACHTLIEDER
(Sweden)
Eyes Ablaze
— Led by a hot woman, black metal
obsessed with death. Bleak and hostile, the way we take
it.
49:02-53:42
CARNATION
(Belgium)
Magnum Chaos
— Debut from raging guttural death
metal Belgians.
54:33-END
URIAH HEEP
(UK)
It's All Been Said
— 50 years and rocking hard, this is
a solid showing from a legendary band.
