CASTRATOR
(NY)
Inquisition Sins
— All female badass head churning
good-time death.
5:07-15:00
GRIMA
(Russia)
Winter Morning Tower
— Romantic, bleak, howling beast of a
black metal album.
15:34-19:40
REEKING AURA
(NY/NJ)
Harvesting The Hatchet
— Members of Artificial Brain and
Buckshot Facelift. Delicious groove added to a guttural death with
heavenly guitar solos and tight as musicianship.
20:03-24:25
PSYCROPTIC
(AU)
Exitus
— Tight, sultry guitar compositions,
raspy harsh vocals and syncopated drums lurch in a sharply drawn
package.
25:08-36:32
LIMINAL SHROUD
(CAN)
Transmigration II - The Cleansing
Ash
— Liminal Shroud's debut made it to
my Best of 2020's list. This is, oh my. Majestic black with a knot
of emotional despair and a massive journey of buildup and technical
prowess.
36:51-41:27
EXALTATION
(NZ)
Impending Decease
— Hypnotic death that leans toward
doom and atmosphere.
42:09-51:08
CHAT PILE
(OK)
grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg
— A meld of genres that borrow from
another time. Modernized with sludge and doom and noise and hints
of industrial and post-punk melodic guitar.
51:50-55:49
TRIUMVIR FOUL
(Portland)
Slither Of Corruption (The Demise Of
The Three Serpents)
— You are not supposed to like this
creepy, perverse revulsion of sound.
56:18-END
MANTAR
(Germany)
Hang 'Em Low (So the Rats Can Get
'Em)
— Rough vocals in a sinister-toned
rock with a wild dose of experimental guitars and
effects.
