atmospheric black metal witch rasps out evil spells between bloody
teeth.

vicious turns and decapitating riffs while everything rains down in
bullets.

Madwolf
— Smart, strange, varied, jaunty
crusty metal sludge with horns, sounding like Imperial Triumphant
on a joyride. There is so much here.

atmospheric horror breaking into a hurricane of distortion and
pummeling, ripping apart into multiple organisms.

massive epic doom song with heated growls.

Slither O Serpent

cauldron of bubbling black and death sweetens it just
right.

a crust and death impact.
