0:25-5:48
ATTIC
(Germany)
The Hound of Heaven
— No, it isn’t King Diamond. This
German band could be tongue-in-cheek, but they are too frigging
good.
6:56-9:06
POISON BLOOD
(NC)
Myths from the Desert
— Dude from Krieg and dude from
Horseback. Duo creates creepy medieval sounds with jaunts into
electro death rock.
9:34-13:40
DEMON EYE
(NC)
Kismet
— North Carolina just came out with
a Swedish band.
14:07-17:53
ALTARAGE
(Spain)
Spearheaderon
— A Runner-Up in my 2016 Best Death
Metal category. They release the full album in October; shit sounds
as tight as their album last year. Swarm metal.
18:44-25:09
PAGAN ALTAR
(UK)
The Room of Shadows
— Pagan Altar started in 1978; and
the lead singer died in 2014. His guitarist son pushed this album
forward. 70’s rock with a touch of melancholy; and a vocalist who
spins stories.
25:53-31:23
GRAVDAL
(Norway)
Vi Som Ser I Mørket
— Charming spewing Norwegian black
metal. Is there any other kind?
31:48-32:34
AKATHARSIA
(Oakland)
Plastic Wrapped and
Useless
— Oakland knows its crust: this is
raw and chaotic, gritty and gnarly.
34:54-41:55
THE NECROMANCERS
(France)
Grand Orbiter
— French occult, psychedelic and
stoner with a honey-toned vocalist.
42:49-49:14
ETERNAL BLACK
(NYC)
Sea of Graves
— Brooklyn does their distorted
sludge with whiskey gravelly vocals.
50:06-END
DAXMA
(Oakland)
Abandoning All Hope
— Guitarist and violinist,
melancholy funeral doom with female Oakland vocalist.
