0:25-6:16
UADA
(Portland)
The Purging Fire
— The newest from my Best Black Metal
of 2016. A Portland band that is badass, bitter, mean, and
epic.
7:23-13:40
THOU (Baton
Rouge)
The Changeling Prince
— The vocalist is scorching lava, a
driving dramatic force through the impassioned melodies.
14:03-18:57
NAUT (UK)
I M Here
— A perfect post-punk album for the
next rainy weekend you are dancing alone in your living room with
your bottle of wine. Oh, is that just me?
19:21-23:36
SPECTRAL WOUND
(CAN)
La Nuit Froide De L'oubli
— Another leading lead singer that
leads the shit out of his band. Cold and melodic.
24:32-28:06
GHOST
(Sweden)
Dance Macabre
— I was pleasantly surprised by this
new Ghost, especially since I've never liked them before. Retro
anthemic fun song; the rest of the album is strange and diverse.
Good stuff.
28:33-33:22
WAYFARER
(Denver)
Animal Crown
— Emotional lead-ups, growling into
fevered pitch; breaking into organic harmonies.
33:49-37:03
DOPETHRONE
(CAN)
Kingbilly Kush
— Tongue in cheek swamp,
Canadian-style.
37:42-40:50
VIOLATION WOUND
(CA)
Stalemate Suicide
— Chris Reifert is a surprisingly
good whiskey-soaked vocalist; hailing from Death and Autopsy. This
is for old people who have remained pissed off.
41:13-45:31
JUST BEFORE DAWN
(Sweden/UK)
Day Of Days
— Demonic throated tales born of a
different time and a parallel universe, where innocence no longer
lives.
46:06-52:34
HIGH PRIESTESS
(LA)
Earth Dive
— Female-only blues, with plaintive
vocals and frothy lyrics.
52:58-58:18
AORNOS
(Hungary)
The Kingdom Of Nemesis
— Theatrical rasping, Hungarian
style.
58:41-END
DEATHSTORM
(Austria)
Agent Of Dismay
— Beer and riffs, what we live
for.
