0:25-6:05
FROZEN DAWN
(Spain)
— Mystic Fires of Dark
Allegiance
Epic melodic black with immense
amounts of thrash groove, wild guitar licks, tight production.
Just fucking fun.
7:06-12:04
CADAVER SHRINE
(Netherlands)
Dragged Away
— Yet another brilliant Gnaw their
Tongues project – check out the new Den Edele Dood that I played on
Show 473. This album slaughters, with chugging riffing
headchurning with melodic shine.
12:36-18:20
HELLRIPPER
(Scotland)
The Cursed Carrion Crown
— Wow, this speed rips off your face
to a grinning skull and a black edge lined with evil vocals.
It also surprises with so much heavy metal guitar and
ballady-touches. Already a classic.
18:42-21:56
FLUB (CA)
In Soil Sleeps Secrets
— A proggy death hurricane with so
much fun technical prowess.
22:33-28:00
HEXER
(Germany)
Katarakt
— Melodic is a weapon here, mixing
gossamer organic instrumentation within their sludgy doom, creating
atmospheric hypnotic and droney moments. Another stunning
album.
28:20-33:26
TITHE
(OR)
Inverse Rapture
— Tithe writhes, but always building
to an extreme genre of frenzied pummeling, death screams, and a raw
and bloody aggression.
33:58-54:13
ULTHAR
(CA/VA/OR)
Helionomicon
— Ulthar released two albums
simultaneously, both proggy, deliciously dynamic, groovy, and
outrageously technical.
54:35-END
THUMOS
(USA)
Eryximachus
— Psychedelic instrumental post-metal
building into heavy riffage when needed.
