Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
1914 – The Blind Leading The Blind
From each pleasant little ditty written to inspire the soldiers in their trenches and loved ones back home, to the thunderous sound of these Ukranian boys bringing the history back before our very ears, this is simply one album that every Metal fan must have, and I cannot emphasise this enough.
Sacral Rage – Beyond Celestial Echoes
this is withering-fire metal amplified 150 percent on the technicality and innovation scales.
Black to Comm – Seven Horses For Seven Kings
I feel unsettled, nervous, even insignificant as I listen, but the effect is more ominous than threatening.
Discarnatus – Condemned to Darkness
Fermented deep in the underground depths of pandemonium, this release contains many familiar aspects of the Discarnatus sound.
Cloudburst – Cloudburst
builds to a wall of sound crescendo reminiscent of early emocore for just a moment before the chaos resumes.
Deadbird – III: The Forest Within the Tree
traditional elements of classic stoner and doom metal, sprinkled in some sludge and noise elements, and twisted them into a well-integrated form.
Unattended Death – SPLIT w/ Ridiculous Terror
three tracks of throwback goregrind with riffage that brings up memories of early Cannibal Corpse, delivered in bite sized chunks I can eat up again and again.
Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2018
What a year it’s been! There is no way a top 50 album is enough to truly express the fantastic year of music that was 2018. Nevertheless, check it out, comment, agree, argue, enjoy!
Night Vapor – 1000 Miles of Mud
clashing notes, sporadic beats, quavering distortion, and chain-smoking vocals
Skraeckoedlan – Äppelträdet
a sludgy, distorted bass tone that is as viscous as the deadly muck of a WWI Flanders battlefield.
