Zebulon Kosted – ...how important can living be when everyone is doing it... (Single)
Ghafur channels his inner prog and gives us a single more reminiscent of Voivod than anything else.
Barrel Bones – Shake-Rattle-Roll
…the band I most think of in comparison to Barrel Bones is one of my favorites, namely The Gaslight Anthem.
Mouthful of Locusts – Human Dissonance EP
Basically take parts of those two bands, a little hardcore, a little jazz, the dissonant sensibilities of Diskord or Replicant and you might be in the right wheelhouse.
Jesus Wept – Psychedelic Degeneracy EP
Death metal with a grindy sound, but not the grind speed. Nasty riffs that I’m pretty sure could actually cut you if you listen too closely. A nice mid-paced groove that gets the ole noggin’ banging. What’s not to like?
xIron Sharpens Ironx – The Aftermath of Tragedy EP
Passenier doesn’t just sing the lines…he sweats them, breathes them, bleeds them.
Lokella – As We Unravel
I’m reminded of Ume sometimes, Joan Jett others, and even occasionally L7.
Carnis Immortalis – The Ecstacy of Death
Quite frankly, I’m a little shook by how intensely good this album is.
Bog Wizard – Miasmic Purple Smoke
Miasmic Purple Smoke (the album) is a sometimes caustic, sometimes psychedelic, always crushing journey of mesmeric riffs and ponderous rhythms.
SNAFU – Exile//Banishment
This album is a much needed throat punch to the decadence and oppression of modern society. Plus, it absolutely rips!
