Sacroscum – Drugs & Death
Sacroscum plays a mix of the filthiest crust embedded in gnarly black metal resurrected from the grave of the first wave.
Caïnan Dawn – F.O.H.A.T.
Patient is a key word here, for as much as F.O.H.A.T. is built on a foundation of chaos, they approach the topic with a great deal of patience, exploring the murky depths and twisting by-ways.
From Sacred Static to Cosmic Veil – A Review of Thantifaxath’s Void Masquerading as Matter
Black metal band Thantifaxath explore further these possibilities of black metal, cloaking themselves to remain acutely dedicated to sound over visual aesthetic. Their music serves as a portal to something both bizarre and impenetrable which disorientates the listener consistently.
Funeral Hearse – The Fist, The Spit, The Sword EP
Fittingly, you are dealt blows of traditional and old school death metal coupled with trve kvlt black metal. Honestly.
Primitive Man Live at the New Dodge Lounge
Rage and Frustration Heavy Metal Reviews & Interviews Band – Primitive Man Country of Origin – USA Venue – New Dodge Lounge Date – October 29th, 2017 I kind of like this ‘Five Things’ format for review a live show. It helps me...
Celeste – Infidele(s)
The quartet draws you along the twisted pathways of a murky labyrinth of darkness. Much like their live performance, they provide the only light, only cutting marginally through the fog, and only where they want you to see.
Dawn Ray’d – The Unlawful Assembly
Dawn Ray’d plays an atmospheric style that is too raw to be atmospheric black metal.
Low Estate – Covert Cult of Death
Intriguing. Bizarre. Lots of push-pull dynamic with changes that come out of nowhere, but seem organic.
Aeolith – Remnants of a Future Past
Transitioning from high speed guitars to slow grinding doom-ish sections, the tempo changes are music to my ears.
The Revenant – The Walk Through The Shadow of Death
Given their burly mix of sounds, one might call them extreme gutter metal or perhaps filthy murder thrash. In fact, at various points on the album, one can find elements of thrash, old school death metal, hints of black metal, and even an occasional touch of grindcore.
