INEXORUM
(MN)
To Omega
— Minnesota rages their icy-black
metal on your head with vast and frothy romantic
compositions.
7:32-14:17
KHORADA
(Portland)
Edeste
— Agalloch and Giant Squid members
create melancholy and college rock-style mixed with doom.
Vocals-forward.
14:48-19:46
STATIQBLOOM
(Brooklyn)
Ersatz Gaze
— You know I love Fade and everything
that he creates.
20:09-27:33
DEADBIRD
(AR)
Luciferous Heart
— When I call Deadbird stoners, I
mean the individuals, not the genre. Bros smoke a mean joint, I’m
sure, but they are romantic sludge. Those vocals kill
me.
28:01-30:50
ANTICHRIST SIEGE
MACHINE (VA)
Schism Perpetration
— Volcanic ash pummels down, fiery
and suffocating. Why do we need to be punished gawdammit aren't we
tortured enough?!
31:15-37:46
KHANUS
(Finland)
Secular Spiritual
Existence
— Finnish alien vocals sings of blood
and gore and forests or whatever these weirdos are doing. These
guys have unexpected lead-ups.
38:30-44:05
THOU (Baton
Rouge)
The Lasting Dose
— Thou's new EP is the best balance
of evil and lush, dramatic and badass. The last (3) EPs are on (3)
different labels, and the full-length is on another label. It will
be unexpected.
45:07-49:44
THE LION'S DAUGHTER
(St. Louis)
Grease Infant
— Sci-fi metal horror synth-heavy
metal-infused crazy.
50:18-54:37
REBEL WIZARD
(AU)
The Poor and Ridiculous Alchemy of
Christ and Lucifer and Us All
— You think you know it all. So
you'll listen and categorize this immediately into classic heavy
retro metal. Then the vocals drop - completely soulless raw and
evil.
55:06-END
DIRE OMEN
(CAN)
Null
— Suffocating dissonant death with
blistering layers.
