ARCHSPIRE
(CAN)
Reverie on the Onyx
— Reincarnated classical musicians
teleported to the future to become metal gods. Insanely technical
and tight, but not robotic, not bloodless.
5:36-11:42
GHOST BATH
(ND)
Sanguine Mask
— North Dakota is a place to make
achingly despondent black metal, mixed with acoustic echoing
guitars and a bellowing vocalist.
12:09-16:28
SUNLESS
(MN)
Flesh-Particle
Amalgamation
— Proggy dissonant technical
mathy-grind with a vocalist who breathes into the chaos.
17:10-22:23
1914
(Ukraine)
Mit Gott Für König Und
Vaterland
— Death-forward, black-infiltrating,
sludge-loving, groove-heavy, with authoritatively hot
vocals.
22:47-26:43
CONTRITION
(Chicago)
For Misery
— Members of Cobalt, Yakusa, Chrome
Waves. Ferocious bourbon death and down-tuned sludge.
27:24-33:29
BURIAL
(Italy)
Dark Womb Of Outern
Creation
— Another incredible album cover.
Sinister atmosphere building into a seething rage. Love this
album.
33:52-41:09
BE'LAKOR
(AU)
Foothold
— Pleading vocals in a sweeping,
chugging, proggy melodic death that is both headbang worthy and
beautiful.
41:29-48:24
APPARITION
(LA)
Feel
— Slithers under the heavy weight of
groove and guitars and a funereal death-spacey
atmosphere.
49:26-56:50
WORM (FL)
Murk Above the Dark Moor
— Another fantastic album cover.
Trippy melting dungeon death.
57:28-END
BIZARRE
(Spain)
The Advent Of Eternal Pain
— Doomy pace within unrelenting
aggression, melodic guitar and proggy time-signatures with a
spectrum of vocal styles.
