Obroa-Skai – Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time
Science Progresses One Funeral At A Time is a terrific piece of work, haunting, cathartic, beautiful, and devastating.
Riversleem – A Second Release By Riversleem
In just two short EPs, Riversleem has joined the ranks of some of my favorite currently active bands with a short but unrelentingly intense genre-spanning style of hardcore.
REVIEW + INTERVIEW: Dismal Aura – Imperium Mortalia
Though the album is explosive, there is plenty of room for nuance
Swamp Fiend – Smoke Weed, Hail Satan
At its core, bluesy stoner riffs carry along both clean and harsh vocals, and are anchored by an incredibly heavy bottom end.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Perfumed Saturnine Angels – Bow Down to Your Black Hole
Skronky riffs ride the bass like a cowboy on a bull, except it’s the cowboy (guitars) that is wild.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Citizen Rage – Walls
The video itself feels vintage, like it could have come from MTV in the 80s.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Atemporal – The Great Warding
Not only are the riffs sharp and interesting, but they are often incredibly strange, coming out of left field, but fitting incredibly well in the fabric of the album.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Ignominy – Visceral
Their patient building of terrifying atmosphere set them apart from contemporaries and make them well worth thirty-five minutes of your time.
Burden of Ymir – Heorot
This is music for singing along in drunken voices, for rousing the spirit of warriors before battle, or for dancing, full of glee, through the moshpit.
