Pessimista – Sanidade?
Pessimista works first and foremost from a thematic base of DSBM, though stylistically, I find a lot of raw influences present as well (though not Raw, if you understand the difference).
BLACK BILE – DAMNATION AS LIBERATION
DAMNATION AS LIBERATION is a brilliant rearrangement of established, even tired, tropes into an ambitious and novel style of being dark and heavy.
Jack/Sete Star Sept – Split
This release is a highly recommended (by me…right now) split between two bands showing different takes on the style.
Naglfar – Cerecloth
“If it’s not broken, outfit it with aftermarket parts and just make it perform on a higher level”.
Riot – Rock World
If anything, look at Rockworld as an enjoyable primer for the next Riot V record. Mark Reale (R.I.P.) would be proud.
Dearth – Of Martyrdom And Polluted Faith
There is no beauty here, nor should there be. There is only a righteous simmering rage leaking out of a tightly lidded container.
Yovel – Epitaph
Click play to experience this first offering off of Forthcoming Humanity, as always, presented in solidarity with the oppressed of the world.
Rebel Wizard – Magickal Mystical Indifference
The fact that the entire album and all its parts came from the mind of a single individual helps contribute to the cohesive feel of MMI which avoids the pitfalls of riff salad and influence drift that can derail a project like this one when too many contributors have too much say.
