TRESSPASSER
(11/2018)(Sweden)
Death To Fight Death
— Tresspasser released their album
late last year, and I am sorry to have waited so long to listen.
This is a groovy, catchy, rifftastic death and black and unleashed
fist pumping enthusiasm from beginning to end.
6:56-9:33
ANTRE
(UK)
Tyrant
— Black thrash and death filled with
creeping, stalking dread. Sinister as all hell's beasts.
9:58-13:39
SPIRIT ADRIFT
(AR)
Eyes Were Not Alive
— One of my fave smooth retro doom
from the guitarist of Take Over and Destroy. They won my best doom
band in 2016. Bro's vocals are hot.
14:19-18:13
PLAGUEBRINGER
(CAN)
Frailty
— Don't mistake this band for
Chicago's Plague Bringer (two words). This is the Canadian one-word
band with the creepiest vocalist with a spectrum of styles, and a
technical grind that fed my soul on an angry Monday
morning.
18:33-21:48
TERRE
(Belgium)
Ruins
— Dark species of sludge; down-tuned
to reach the pit of your soul.
22:12-26:35
ASTROPHOBOS
(Sweden)
Until the Red of Dawn
— You can feel the sound waves travel
the ridges of his vocal chords; gasping wicked poetry with the
support of guitars feeding off each other.
27:32-33:17
GATEKEEPER
(Vancouver)
Richard III
— Next (2) bands share the same lead
singer. Hooks, riffs, incredible melodic guitar work in a classic
heavy metal structure. This song is a cover of
Tredegar's.
33:44-39:21
TRAVELER
(CAN)
Starbreaker
— Another classic heavy metal band
with the same incredible lead singer, anthemic chorus-y
fun.
39:47-43:22
WRETCHED FATE
(Sweden)
Ominous Shadow
— Another Redefining Dark records
classic of epic Swedish death metal with hella muscular vocals and
technical, tight punchy guitars.
44:03-49:10
KAUNIS KUOLEMATON
(Finland)
Yön tunteina
— Finnish vampires inject violins,
synth and pale skin in their super melodic death metal.
49:30-54:43
PERNICION
(UK)
The Darkness Comes
— Blasphemous 2-piece that hammers
you into the ground.
55:02-END
REFUSAL
(Finland)
Void
— Chomping crust and
death.
