0:25-5:40
NEGATOR
(Germany)
Pyroleophis
— Another badass German black metal
with incredibly emotional desperation that made me nuts(ier). The
lead singer, I bow to his screams.
6:55-12:20
XOTH
(Seattle)
Plague Revival 20XX
— A scifi-loving technical black
speed and death muscularity with a lead singer who lets loose and
pushes this out of control.
12:54-20:33
ALCEST
(France)
Spiritual Instinct
— Blackgaze is not benign; Alcest is
soaring and bellowing landscapes that breathe fresh.
21:04-28:41
THE GREAT OLD ONES
(France)
Lost Carcosa
— Blastbeat heavy lead-ups paced into
headbanging French broodiness.
29:45-34:16
MAYHEM
(Norway)
Agenda Ignis
— Dead, Euronymous, Varg, Norwegian
prison, books, movies, documentaries, legends. Well the legends
have released their malevolent beast of a sound yet again. Attila's
vocals are extraordinary evil.
34:52-38:43
DAWN RAY’D
(UK)
The Smell of Ancient Dust
— Raw aggression sliced with violin
and vocals, screeching against fascism and invisible
borders.
39:10-45:14
RUNEMAGICK
(Sweden)
Necromancer of the Red Sun
— Slow, sinister, thickly-toned
guitar swirled with groove and riffs.
46:01-50:43
COFFIN ROT
(OR)
Forced Self-Consumption
— Portland brings the chunky jagged
death speed.
50:58-54:00
EXHORDER (New
Orleans)
Ripping Flesh
— 30 years creates a cacophony of
explosive thrash.
54:33-END
CHAINED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE
OCEAN (MA)
I Will Possess Your Heart
— The vocalist highlights this brand
of sludge, with a spectrum of brutal breaking into gorgeous
clean.
