0:25-5:20
ARALLU
(Israel)
Devil's Child
— Middle eastern ethnicity fully
integrated in explosive death metal. Infectious, unique and deeply
headbang-worthy.
6:18-12:14
VUKARI
(Chicago)
Curiosity And Obsession
— Chicago brings in the proggy to
this atmospheric black metal with a bleak and beautiful
theme.
12:37-16:41
HIGH COMMAND
(MA)
Merciless Steel
— Chomping, bumping, romping,
punching, lurching, thrashy good times.
17:15-22:43
SEMPITERNAL DUSK
(Portland)
Refracted Suffering Through The
Windows Of Hell
— Portland wine with death metal.
Perfect.
23:28-30:33
VERHEERER
(Germany)
...He Shall Reap a
Thousandfold
— Germanic black metal is my
favorite. Brooding and theatrical with glorious and vivid
compositions, but still fucking rocks out.
30:54-36:18
ALGEBRA
(Swizerland)
Hateful Source
— Technical thrash with disjointed
proggy tempos.
37:04-41:57
LORD MANTIS
(Chicago)
Damocles Falls
— My 2014 Best Album of the year is
finally back with the original lead singer who is famously raspy.
And by famously, I mean, to me. This is a razor sharp vocal spread
over mutated sludge, and I am looking forward to the full November
release. With members from Abigail Williams, Cobalt, Indian,
Pelican, and more.
42:11-47:55
TOXIC HOLOCAUST
(Portland)
Cybernetic War
— Run in place with your parachute
pants to this soundtrack.
48:14-55:41
FISTER (St.
Louis)
For Whom the Bell Tolls
— One of my favorite sludge bands
just released an album of covers. Hell yeah dude.
55:58-END
BLUT AUS NORD
(France)
Haallucinählia
— More French black metal covered in
a layer of mist and ethereal.
