Critical Defiance – Misconception
I hear a resurgence of the past with a spiked fist clenched on the future.
Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2022
Welcome back to another edition of Hayduke’s top 50. I want to remind everyone that musical taste is entirely subjective. I do not claim that these are the best releases of 2022, only that they are my favorite 50. Also note that this is a snapshot in this moment...
Chaos Perversion – Petrified Against The Emanation
Come join the ritual. Offer your hand to the feral, sentient darkness. Let the ritual weave you a new skeletal structure. Join the Chaos (Perversion).
Undercroft – The Seventh Hex
This is Death crossed with Thrash crossed with Awesome.
Occasvs – Nocturnal Majestic Mysteria
Occasvs rises from the abyss to drag you back down with them.
Oraculum – Always Higher
While this release has solid production and decent songs, there is not much here that stands out from the crowd.
Condenados – The Tree of Death
Together, they produce a melodic, classic doom sound that is easy to get into. Keep listening and you’ll soon find yourself howling along with the chorus.
