0:25-4:54
DIABOLIC OATH
(Portland)
Apocryphal Manifestations
— Portland is kicking it up a notch
with death rumbling riffs, a baritone vocal gust and wicked twists
of guitar.
5:41-11:35
ACHERONTAS
(Greece)
The Brazen Experimentalist
— Trippy, strange, evocative Greek
black metal with breaks into dreamy guitar.
11:58-17:01
VOIDCEREMONY
(CA)
Binded to Unusual
Existence
— Debut of jangled angles of guitar
compositions and drums sewing tight compositions. The exhaustion is
somehow relaxing.
17:30-22:53
CREATURE
(France)
Neo Habilis
— Plaintive piano, trombone and
flutes build an ache within fist-pumping almost djent-influenced
icy black metal, and a hot vocalist that whispers sweet nothings in
French. Quite the trip.
23:14-28:16
PURTENANCE
(Finland)
The Malicious Moon
— Old school death done Finnish style
with added filth and sludge creating a hurricane of neck churning
headbangs.
29:07-34:41
DESSIDERIUM
(AZ)
Sage In Yearning
— Tech melodic-proggy-symphonic death
with a spectrum of vocals. One man project, also plays in
Nullingroots.
35:13-38:37
THÆTAS
(NYC)
Dearth
— NYC technical death debut lurches
drunkenly until gaining momentum to a muscular monster devouring
and spitting out carcasses.
39:00-43:55
CARACH ANGREN
(Netherlands)
Der Vampir von Nurnberg
— Thanks for taking us out of our
heads dudes.
44:45-47:39
PYRRHON
(NY)
Human Capital
— Best of 2017 Pyrrhon stays brutal
angular death and grind with lyrical poetry.
48:21-55:25
NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM
(EU)
To The Moon ZÂR - Empowering The
Phurba Éon Phanérozoïque
— Thanks Rohan @manvsplaylist for
introducing this, and has a massive write-up:
https://www.heaviestofart.com/post/a-palette-of-sonic-radiance-neptunian-maximalism-eons-review.
Meditation meets explosion and requires a lifetime of
unpacking.
55:57-END
PAYSAGE D'HIVER
(Switzerland)
Kaelteschauer
— Such a weird album – each song
starts the same, which makes sense, as the point is to deaden your
senses to help make the spiritual journey easier.
