EXCLUSIVE ALBUM STREAM: Temple of the Fuzz Witch – Red Tide

The key ingredient on this darkly majestic album is riffs.

FEATURE: Feed Them Death – A Subjective Tragedy

It is our great honor today to present to you A Subjective Tragedy, the first track from the upcoming EP.

Gelkhammar – The Sword of Gelfiser

Each listen leaves me simultaneously fulfilled and wanting more. Perhaps that is the sorcerous power of the sword.

Yovel – Forthcoming Humanity

“May this work be a guide to action – a wall against despair.”

…strap in and listen up as Hayduke X (MoshPitNation), VUK (The Metal Wanderlust), ProgCaveOgier (The Metal Wanderlust), Gos (Black Metal Daily, MoshPitNation, Order ov the Black Arts) and Dex (Black Metal Daily) perform a surgically precise track-by-track dissection and give this apocalyptic beast the attention it deserves… for we have entered the age of ENDARKENMENT.

Oceans of Slumber – Oceans of Slumber

What has been wonderful is, even though it was Cammie’s vocals that drew me in, it’s the entire package that keeps bringing me back, and making this album one of my most listened to this year, on a playlist stuffed full of black metal, death metal, and grindcore.

Xythlia – Immortality Through Quantum Suicide

The best way I can describe it (and this falls short of what it really is) is Napalm Death mixed with Cognizant.

When I Die, I Will Get Better? – Svalbard

If you are looking for songs that are a middle-finger to misogyny and apathy, then this album will strike all the right chords within your warm, but battered heart.

Rise Of The Stateless Wolf – Born Dead/Year Of The Rats

Sometimes you just want meat and potatoes at the dinner table. Sometimes you just want extreme metal that rips in your ears.

Sparrows – Mark of the Beast: Extinction

It’s as if you had an M4 Sherman tank that could convert into an ‘82 Firebird with the push of a button.

Primitive Man – Immersion

Immersion is still an overwhelming and pummeling experience, but it’s one you might be able to share with an extreme music friend who wants to get into the band but doesn’t know where to start.

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.
