Formidine: Acolyte (Manchester) New! (0:28-6:32)

I have played this Philly band before, and now they have scored a record label.  2 piece, playing their version of black, trippy riffs.

False Prism: Sadgiqacea (Philadelphia) New! (7:53-13:59)

Italy breeds them rockin’ and jammin’. 

So Deep: Ape Skull (Italy) New! (14:19-19:40)

Cardinal Wyrm is bay area’s own – they will be opening for Sabbat in October.  Their album is dirty and riffy and fun.

The Circle: Cardinal Wyrm (Oakland) New! (20:13-27:14)

More awesomeness from Canada.  They get the idea of dark without pressing too hard on your skull.

Happy Entrails: Wakeless (Ontario) 2012 (28:04-33:21)

Denmark is gaining traction in weird metal.  Guttural and romantic dark atmosphere.

Mesmerizing Holy Death: Cerekloth (Denmark) New! (33:42-38:55)

Electronic and industrial, definitely listens to Skinny Puppy.

A Road of Gravel and Skulls: The Moth Gatherer (Sweden) New! (39:21-45:59)

America’s version of At The Gates, and have taken on Corey Hart’s Sunglasses at Night.

Unwelcome: Arsis (Virginia) New! (46:35-50:14)

Raw metal from Italy, once again showing their prowess in every genre.

Manifestation Of The Curse: Ars Macabra (Italy) New! (50:31-56:01)

Gorgeous French metal, super atmospheric, great vocals, one of my faves from this area. 

Abyss: Crown (France) New! (56:32-END)
