VIDEO PREMIERE: Plasmodium – ParaMantra
Plasmodium attacks in a fear-inducing swarm of chaotic terror.
TRACK STREAM: Putrescine – That Mountain
Imagine coming to consciousness somewhere in a dark, dank, crumbling tunnel. There are hundreds of insects, spiders, centipedes, and more crawling all over you. That’s the impression I get from the swarming riffs.
ALBUM STREAM: Changeling/Everlasting Light – Split
A cohesive split where both bands hook you and won’t let go, this is a release worthy of thirty plus minutes of your time, over and over again.
TRACK STREAM: Kõdu – Sügispime
I’m made to feel quite uneasy at many points on the album, hackles raised. One can hope there is more to come from this young band. In the meantime, strap in – it’s quite a ride!
TRACK PREMIERE: Sepulcros – Marcha Funebre
Though the album title translates into “empty”, the music is full of power and presence. Perhaps it is how the ultimate Emptiness expels itself.
VIDEO PREMIERE: The Noctambulant – Blackened Swords of Satan
[The album] cuts sharply through the uninspired masses of extreme metal, forward thinking, but calling forth the masters of the past. Raise your horns and bang your head.
TRACK PREMIERE: Feed Them Death – Minima Moralia
The track starts out with belligerence, as Void’s bellows hit the listener square in the chest, and then devolves and evolves into a racing, grinding, destructive cacophony of purpose.
ALBUM STREAM: Domestic Terror – Domestic Terror
What I really love about the album are the nasty, dissonant riffs thrown into the mix throughout. That’s what really gets it all cooking for me.
FEATURE: Sacrilegious Crown – Culto II: Under The Blasphemous Spirits
“Raw black metal is not for everyone, of course, but its strength lies in its ambiguity.”
ALBUM PREMIERE: Rampancy – Coming Insurrection
The album is ethereal, but also urgent.
