0:25-8:37
ULCERATE (New
Zealand)
Drawn Into The Next Void
— Topnotch textured proggy-tempoed
death with piercing melodies and hooks and strains of post and
black metal.
9:52-19:06
ORANSSI PAZUZU
(Finland)
Tyhjyyden sakramentti
— Psychedelic spacey prog rock that
does not sound retro. Finnish aliens at it again with another
puzzle piece for your brain.
19:34-24:29
DROUGHT YEAR
(NC)
Nostalgic Delusion
— One of my favorite industrial
sludge distorted band with so much new sound. I stumbled upon them
4 years ago, and I am grateful.
25:17-30:33
RIPPED TO SHREDS
(San Jose/Taiwan)
白骨精 (White Bone Spirit)
— Energetic ferocious and unrelenting
death with incredible solos from guest artists like Gridlink and
Horrendous.
30:58-36:31
VOCO (Bay
Area)
Goat Haggle at the Black
Market
— Traverse the wrinkles of weirdo
brains following their own streams of consciousness into
progressive rock with a lovely saxophone.
37:14-42:30
AT THE ALTAR OF THE HORNED
GOD (Spain)
Prayer I
— Raw and Viking, epic and haunted,
pagan and ritualistic black metal sliced heavily with beautiful
melancholy.
42:53-48:38
KHEMMIS
(Denver)
Empty Throne
— One of my favorite vocalist with
more of his honey tones over groove so right.
49:33-55:29
THE DITCH AND THE
DELTA (SLC)
Bleed the Sun
— Vocal styles reminiscent of the
greats in Enemy of the Sun – not surprising to be influenced by
Neurosis while creating massive sludge.
55:50-END
AZATH
(CA)
Shifting Forms
— Demon-backed bludgeoning scorched
earth death.
