Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Knoll – Interstice
Like all good grindcore, listening to Interstice is an abrasive journey, like sliding down a sandpaper waterslide.
TRACK PREMIERE: Aerosol Jesus – Drown
Aerosol Jesus is a sludge band, but one which recognizes the genres roots in hardcore punk and wears them proudly.
TRACK PREMIERE: Malacoda – Deadlights
Crawling Chaos has many layers that I keep discovering with every listen, much like the horror stories the songs are based on have many layers themselves.
Enforced – Kill Grid
Moshing and headbanging will ensue with each listen, of which there have been (and will continue to be) many.
The Sun and The Mirror – Dissolution to Salt and Bone
Using drone, ambient noise, doom riffs and drumming, cello, and mesmerizing vocals, the duo of Reggie Townley and Sarah Townley create a masterpiece of rich soundscapes that draw me into another world.
VIDEO PREMIERE: Plasmodium – ParaMantra
Plasmodium attacks in a fear-inducing swarm of chaotic terror.
Årabrot – Norwegian Gothic
Norwegian Gothic is an album that explores so many genres, it’s truly difficult to tack it under any one label. It’s an exploration into previously uncharted territory more than anything else
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!
