0:25-8:34
GRAVE GNOSIS
(FL)
Anathema
— Orthodox Satanic band practice dark
spiritual arts in the form of sound, invoking spirits. That’s some
dedication dude.
9:49-15:03
NOVAE MILITIAE
(France)
Faithfully Reduced to
Ashes
— Look, so this released last year,
but just got released in the US by Sentient so we’ll go with that.
USA! Another bout of Satanic black metal with a spectrum of pace
from pummeling to lethargic to dense atmosphere.
15:46-22:53
AUTONOESIS (Toronto)
(Released 8/2020)
Horrors of Nothing
— Long form thrash mixing death and
black with guttural rasps and neck-wrenching spins. Such a great
debut last year.
23:21-29:52
MYRDØD
(PA?)
Elders Cave
— One person gurgling bloody chaotic
swarming offset fighting hammering. Surprising.
30:44-35:17
SHAME
(London)
Human, for a Minute
— Album name ‘Drunk Tank Pink’ is a
color used to weaken. Disjointed punk pop, late 70’s style
post-punk, and noise rock with Idles-style vocals.
35:42-41:35
ABERRATION
(MN)
I
— Oppressive nature of Minnesota
lends to a black metal filled with unease.
42:03-47:02
HULDER
(OR)
From Whence and Ancient Evil Once
Reigned
— One woman band mixing pagan,
acoustic and medieval flair to a turbulent black metal.
47:48-51:12
SVRM
(Ukraine)
Життя
— Emotionally relentless with intense
vocals and grief-stricken melodies. Pummeling breaks to guitar
breaks to folk instrumentation. Gorgeous.
51:47-END
DEAD NEANDERTHALS
(Netherlands)
(part of) Cosmic Slime
— Members of my #1 2020 album Cryptae
created another form of immersion: a distorted meditative drone
sound wave. Love the touch of horn. You can download the 27 minute
song for free from bandcamp
(https://deadneanderthals.bandcamp.com/album/cosmic-slime).
