Glam hair metal that makes you want to jump in their rumbling muscle car with your mullet. Sunsword: Mega Colossus (NC)(0:28-5:14) Debut Norwegian duo with doom that ain’t fuzzy and warm. Spectre: Hymn (Norway)(6:24-12:40) Mesmer is the second coming of Gypsyhawk, but not coked up. Girls love whiskey vocals and hard rock. Wings of Evil: Mesmer (Oakland)(13:09-18:31) Hardcore dominant Call of the Void rams through with yet another chugging energetic mosh pit of sound. Never Enough: Call of the Void (Denver)(18:53-21:22) Artificial Brain’s bassist makes up 50% of Luminous Vault. They are black, death and a touch of industrial. So far. Charismata: Luminous Vault (NYC)(March 2017)(22:03-25:52) Guitarist from Gorguts and Krallice is in this severely proggy technical instrumental band of nerds. Resummon the Unreaching: Behold...The Arctopus (Brooklyn)(26:56-33:33) Sexy Swedes croon out psychedelic that will warm your grey withered heart. All Come Hither: Domkraft (Sweden)(34:00-39:35) Sludge-y, slow dirty Floridians. Rats: Weltesser (FL)(Feb 2017)(39:59-44:59) Oh, this Aussie has got to be hot. Seriously. Eleven Sigils: Convulsing (AU)(46:01-51:33) Majestic swirling misty black metal. Down into the Stream: The Shape of Despair (Finland)(re-release from 1998)(52:25-END)

I’ve played Hivelords before, and in the past awarded them Runner-Up to 2015 Best Sludge. Members make up Philly band Surgeon. Check out the album art: http://www.ftg38.com/album-covers/ Proggy and symphonic mix up death and black. Old Gods: Surgeon (Philly)(0:28-5:20) The dulcet Swedish tones of Horisont are so hot, so blues-sexy. If you don’t know this band, it is time. Let these dudes swagger their jean-clad butts into your fantasies. The Hive: Horisont (Sweden)(Feb 2017)(6:25-9:57) Bethlehem is led by a raging witch. She screams her rage, and feeds the evil demon living way deep in your soul. Kalt' Ritt In Leicht Faltiger Leere: Bethlehem (Germany)(10:36-15:54) Oskoreien recently released a split with Botanist. They are symbiotic, playing the same type of emotive raw black metal with melancholy compositions. This is from Oskoreien’s second album. Ab Aeterno, Ad Infinitum: Oskoreien (LA)(16:33-25:55) Spaced out trippy desert rock. Now I know you’ve read that before, but these Finnish men have a way grooving out in the most delicious way. A stellar record, thick and gorgeous. I wish I could have played one of their longer songs, but 60 minutes goes by way too fast. Tzar Bomba: Craneium (Finland)(27:10-34:42) Jason Netherton of Misery Index leads this supergroup (Gwar, Black Dahlia Murder) of pumped up chugging death grind. No Feast (Without Cruelty): Asphalt Graves (VA)(35:16-37:41) Indian black metal doesn’t surprise me. These guys have infused their culture, sounds and imagery in a gorgeously varied album. Whole album is a big thumbs up. A Clarity of Indignation: Démonos (India)(38:36-44:56) Savage writhing grit. Dirty dirty dirty. Nightbringer drummer. It represents my anger. Shadow Fires: Antaeus (France)(45:57-49:56) Another solid sludge groove album from Fistula. Sorry you live in Ohio, your state sucks. Tough Guy: Fistula (Ohio)(50:42-56:31) One-man band Crimson Moon created a dense black metal album, broken up by stark folk melody and vocals. First album after more than a decade. Urilian Worm: Crimson Moon (San Diego)(57:15-END)
