0:25-6:51
BÂ’A
(France)
Titan
— Anonymous band, probably Satan,
firing out a layered black metal that dabbles in the dark arts of
atmosphere and bleeds in a stunning piano.
7:50-12:06
WARBRINGER
(CA)
Firepower Kills
— Speed demons with a spin of tempo
and groove made for your face.
12:34-17:25
BYTHOS
(Finland)
When Gold Turns Into Lead
— Members of Behexen and Horna
creating breast-heaving leather-warrior bare-horseback black
metal.
17:50-22:51
BEGGAR
(UK)
Compelled To Repeat
— A unique blend of muscular
death-leaning sludge that meanders under the warmth of a desert
rock sun. Screeching strong vocalist is a
highlight.
23:19-28:40
AODON
(France)
L'infime
— French spoken with snarls and a
drummer that made my eyeball twitch.
29:11-33:11
TRAVELER
(CAN)
Deepspace
— A 2019 Runner Up to my Best of
List, so soon with a badass album of heavy metal and a charming
vocalist howling his catchy choruses.
33:36-40:04
BARISHI
(VT)
Entombed in Gold Forever
— Vermont cheese and dappled forests
created black metal with acoustic guitar and a doom
twist.

NIGHT DEMON
(CA)
Empires Fall
— Rancid members do right – now
creating catchy heavy metal.
44:05-48:05
KOLOSSUS
(Italy)
Norge
— Epic Viking black metal with
talented guests, including Vicotnik of Dødheimsgard, contributing
vocals with a theatrical greatness.
48:59-53:56
MASTERPIECE MACHINE
(Atlanta)
Rotting Fruit
— Members of Fucked Up and Power Trip
create a decent version of their take on industrial. I kind of
don’t like super cool people doing industrial and new wave. It
feels like you are stealing from the nerds.
54:28-END
NECHOCHWEN
(WV)
The Megalith
— On a split with Panopticon. Savage
black metal that speaks to American history and broken with folk
instrumentals.
