Monotheist – Scourge
It’s an awesome album. It’s a fucking experience.
Five Thoughts: Withered/Wake at Cellarmen’s, March 28th, 2018
Comments on a punishing show at Cellarmen’s in Hazel Park.
Pestilent Reign – Pyres
This is a well produced, cohesive, and incredibly competent album which stands proudly on its own outside of a large pack of forgettable technical wankery with zero substance.
Galvanizer – Sanguine Vigil
Be warned that it is highly addictive and you might need to detox to come away from it safely
Hellish God – The Evil Emanations
It is really the classic sound from the late 90’s that they most call forth.
Bleeding Gods – Dodekathlon
The production value and symphonic flourishes serve only to allow this monster room to roam and destroy
Golgothan Remains – Perverse Offerings To The Void
This is no work of kind folk, this is evil in its purest form.
Obscene – Sermon to the Snake
Solidly played, solidly executed music, and showing a lot of potential indeed,
Hooded Menace – Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed
The darkest of oceans lapping forever at your feet and suddenly you are in it and drowning with no help in sight.
Ataraxy – Where All Hope Fades
One of the best death doom albums you’ll hear this year and by far the best album of their career
