INTERVIEW: Gomgoma
Don’t do drugs. Do Bataille, instead.
LABEL FEATURE: Sentient Ruin Laboratories
I can count on any Sentient Ruin release to be well crafted, challenging in some way, and aesthetically interesting.
TRACK STREAM: Necrogod – Bringers of Blasphemy
This entity is death metal in its purest form, angry and hungry, eager to feed.
Wrekan – Gevurah
There is really a lot going on here, yet the eight tracks remain (mostly) within the confines of Raw Black Metal as a distinct subgenre.
Varanak – Relics of Mourning
I press play, I am transported to some warm, dark, dangerous, and welcoming place, and then some indeterminate time later, I come slowly back to this world.
Void Angel – Winds From Paradise
This release has real riffs, played well, and yet retains that rugged feeling through production choices.
Bog Wizard VS Dust Lord – Four Tales of the Strange
I think the only important thing left to say, is roll for initiative!
Grab – The Inevitable Filth of Mankind
The righteous hatred of humanity is strong, but restrained, methodical in its obliterating power.
Lamb of God – Lamb of God (Deluxe Edition)
So, the whole album, plus a few extras, all delivered with such energy and professionalism that one would almost think these guy’s had been doing this for a while…
Kardashev – The Baring of Shadows
They know what they’re doing, and they are executing their craft in the most passionate of ways.
