TOTALED
(USA?)
As Below
— I couldn't find any info on
the members of this band - so I presume this is a supergroup.
The album cover and sound is muddled chaos. Muscular hardcore meets
dense, explosive black metal and the result is destructive
dissonance in yo' FACE. .
7:00-13:46
THORMESIS
(Germany)
Lichtermeer
— Desperation-lined vocals
creates heartfelt melancholy not shying away from sweet. This is
what melodic black metal is all about, to me anyway. Fuck your
definition.
14:24-18:23
BRUTUS
(Belgium)
Horde V
— Belgian's version of
Sugarcubes-era Bjork, power and sweet-combined vocals. Lead singer
is also the drummer, and she aggressively chases the melodic
post-metal guitars. Don't miss this album.
18:56-23:08
HATE FORCE
(Chicago)
Stolen Valor
— Dude, the lead singer of
Harm's Way (drool), drums and bass from Weekend Nachos and Like
Rats?!? Yeeeees Chicago, come at me bros.
23:33-27:52
THESE BEASTS
(Chicago)
End of the Whip
— Chicago defines dissonant
noise rock with tempo-lurching punchy drums, explosive vocals, and
melodic bursts.
28:23-33:59
THE BLACK MORIAH
(TX)
Scholar Of Tongues
— Absu guitarist creates this
new evil, galloping, groove-filled thrash album.
34:29-41:13
MAGIC CIRCLE
(Boston)
Gone Again
— Magic fucking Circle does
their THANG in 70's retro, and I am in the garden of their
psychedelic flowers man.
41:46-46:07
IMPRECATION
(TX)
Baptized in Satan's Blood
— Despicable filth from this
band has burned slowly in ashes for years, and now vomit unto
thee.
47:09-51:09
KALEIKR
(Iceland)
Heart Of Lead
— Draugsól members create
atmospheric Icelandic black with an emphasis on bass, with spacey
effects mixed with proggy tempo dissonance.
51:42-57:19
TRUTH CORRODED
(AU)
The Storm
— Australia, your heat and dust
have made you so epically angry. This is technical with hella
shredding and incredible guest musicians, including Misery Index
and Suffocation.
57-56-END
COSMIC PUTREFACTION
(Italy)
The Ancient Demagogue
— I heart Australian musician
Brendan Sloan forever and ever. He is the one-man Australian genius
behind my #2 album of last year - Convulsing. And he has been
brought into the mix in this insanely vomiting Italian band. Just a
joy.
