Venomous Maximus – No Warning
Repeated distorted low riffs, combined with varying hard rock grooves make for a great setting of a void.
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.
Herem – III
What separates Herem from the others is Valendis Suomalainen. Her haunting growls make the skin crawl like worms and beetles devouring a graveyard corpse.
The Obsessed – Sacred
All in all, just a heavy, old school, meaner version of their younger selves.
Soothsayer – At This Great Depth
Through this two song album, you are able to understand and see as the soothsayer into your own future.
Minenwerfer/1914 – Ich hatt einen Kameraden
As a historical album, really as an album in general, Ich hatt einen Kameraden (I have a comrade) is a masterpiece.
Altar of Oblivion – Barren Grounds
Each of the melodies presented in the songs give you a sense of longing. The slow melodic guitar presented in the songs allows you to feel the pain that comes from sorrow in your life.
Swamp Witch – The Slithering Bog
While listening to the music, you find yourself taken on a journey through the lair of a witch. The bass lines within the songs are haunting and lure you deeper into the lair of the music and make you curious as to what is to come.
Motorowl – Om Generator
The album Om Generator is filled with some great feelings of nostalgia and new twists that make for a good album.
Pyramido – Vatten
Absolute Contempt is a fairly new label with only seven releases so far, but Daniel Zambrano, the owner, has a different vision for his releases. All proceeds from the label are going to cat rescue shelters.
