PARAM-NESIA
(CAN)
Home
— This EP (I usually never play EPs)
builds and spills in an exceptional story. Biting precision breaks
into groove and drives into the unexpected.
7:03-13:51
SVNEATR
(CAN)
Mourning Sun
— Pronounced Sun-eater. Chomping
badass technical black metal, organic instrumentals, heavy metal
solos, and a sprinkle of spacy.
14:28-22:46
KHANDRA
(Belarus)
Thanatos
— Cold Belarus creates varying black
metal pace, including a mid-paced melodic with churning texture
pitted against noise and effects. Perfect torment.
23:07-28:16
DRAWN AND QUARTERED
(Seattle)
Proliferation of Disease
— Sinewy smokey death metal with
alien guitar.
29:12-36:57
AMENRA
(Belgium)
De Evenmens
— Big and epic battling with stark
minimalist, inspired by Neurosis. I also recommend Buried Inside’s
2005’s Chronoclast if you like this emo sludge doom.
37:23-41:36
CATHEXIS
(TX)
Mortuus in Perpetuum
— Hot proggy death that you can only
find in the middle of a wild, hot desert. But somehow cold and
sharp.
42:09-45:34
FRACTAL UNIVERSE
(France)
Withering Snowdrops
— The French know how to articulate
their arty mayhem. Angular pace and chugging riffs with surprising
jaunty bouts of jazz influence.
46:25-54:03
NOCTAMBULIST
(Denver)
Depletion
— Denver surges with their bitter.
Machinistic drums and battling vocalists are just part of the
un-sweet merge of technical death and screech of black.
54:35-END
HEAVY TEMPLE
(Philly)
The Maiden
— A 70’s groove with a lovely lead
singer and all of it jams.
