BELPHEGOR
(Austria)
Apophis - Black Dragon
— Hot Austrian vile that is so
fucking evil. Breathes life into my withered soul.
7:29-11:08
THEN COMES SILENCE
(Sweden)
The Dead Cry For No One
— Swedish dark wave dances happily on
a gloomy coast in a trench coat in the 80’s with spiky black hair
in its face. You know?
11:57-20:21
BOTANIST
(SF)
The Shape Of He To Come
— New album starts another series of
Botanist albums that are a collaboration between all six members.
Ethereal vocals are reminiscent of Controlled Bleeding's Songs from
the Ashes – beautiful and airy against a storm of sounds. I do love
the evil vocals also; and the compositions retain melody
throughout. Probably my fave Botanist album yet.
20:33-23:01
ISOTOPE
(Oakland)
Wake Up Screaming
— Oakland has a vivacious crust
scene. Can I say vivacious? We are all so fucking
vivacious.
23:28-27:42
DAWN RAY'D
(UK)
Future Perfect Conditional
— Gorgeous use of violin that cuts a
clean melodic swathe through dense black metal.
28:23-32:09
CANNABIS CORPSE
(VA)
The Fiends That Come to Steal the
Weed of the Deceased
— Song title: "Papyrus Containing The
Spell To Protect Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In
The Bong Water". Bro from Municipal Waste and Iron Reagan. Solid
and technical beyond the hilarity.
32:38-39:49
USNEA
(Portland)
Lathe of Heaven
— Pacific Northwest style: epic
sludge with brutal vocals mixed with stellar riffage brah pass the
spliff.
40:11-42:12
PLAQUE MARKS

Plaque Marks
— Scraped off the sidewalks of
Philly. Dirty and filthy noise.
42:43-49:02
SATOR
(Italy)
Heartache
— Unusual vocals drifts into
Italian-style psychedelic space.
50:05-56:06
NIGHT
(Sweden)
— Third album is light retro
psychedelic rock, with harmonizing guitars in the
forefront.
56:29-END
KRIEG

raw.
