0:25-4:50
PUTERAEON
(Sweden)
Call Of R'lyeh
— Lovecraftian-themed menacing, mean,
monstrous, muscular old school death.
6:03-12:18
GUIGNOL NOIR
(Switzerland)
Rotten Drugfest
— Black metal duo split between
vocals and instrumentation. Vocals are theatrical, desperate,
wicked and playful. Instrumentation is frosted, raw, riff-driven
layering. Epic Swiss.
12:47-17:52
OF FEATHER AND BONE
(Denver)
Baptized in Boiling Phlegm
— Denver’s idea of cavernous death,
so extra blistering. Massive bald, bearded metal. I don’t know what
they look like though.
18:34-24:09
DRACONIAN
(Sweden)
Claw Marks on the Throne
— Yeah, usually not my style either,
gothic metal? But her fragility against brutality, set against
atmospheric melancholy black metal is a balm.
25:08-30:39
MRTVI
(Serbia)
Self Slaughtering
— Demonic vocals hop over a black
metal and grind landscape propelled into an unseen dimension. A
true mayhem that you may hate, but let it break you.
31:10-36:16
ANTZAAT
(Belgium)
Through the Eyes of a Rotten
Mind
— Murky, creepy vocals hit you like a
ton of bricks, the melodic black metal is razor sharp,
clawing.
36:46-41:34
PULCHRA MORTE
(USA)
The Serpent's Choir
— Supergroup with members from
Skeletonwitch, Abigail Williams, etc. Unrushed pace, sludgy death
meets doom.
42:03-49:10
SHAIDAR LOGOTH
(MN)
Consume Pieces of God
— Lots of atmospheric black metal
despair in the Minnesota air. Shaidar Logoth shimmers when still,
drops of pattering beautiful instruments rippling through, brewing
into a storm, mournful screams into the abyss. Melodic is battered
out until it is just a ferocious tornado, bleeding their soul. You
know?
50:04-56:13
ANCIENT THRONES
(CAN)
The Soul to Flesh
— Charred, raw and bleeding, like we
need that to fill our brains and ears, what are we? Fucking insane?
This is what I like? What is wrong with me, and you, omg we are all
dying.
56:42-END
MOLCHAT DOMA
(Belarus)
Leningradskiy Blues
— Excited to see this synth dark wave
band with a brand new album. Definitely some eastern European
influence here.
