Totenmesse – Fiktionlust
Fiktionlust is more concise and doesn’t have any hiccups in the tracklist
Furia – Huta Luna
The musicianship here is as you’d come to expect for the band, top notch and tight. All these songs are driving, super fast paced rippers.
EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: 71TonMan – Of End Times
Layering sludge metal with noise and subtle blackening, 71TonMan join a very select few in creating a soundscape of palpable nihilistic dread.
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...
Truchło Strzygi – Gwiezdny Demon
Highly recommend this one to anyone who is up and up on the Polish scene right now, and fans of Filth of Mankind, or old school thrash or black metal and are looking for a modern take on a classic sound.
Ars Magna Umbrae – Throne Between Worlds
This is not an album to be listened to in the bright daylight. In fact, if you were to try, the world would feel strange and dim as you listened.
Mistral – Somnifer
Let this album caress your psyche. Feel the yearning and the anguish, the joy and the bittersweet sadness.
Nekkrofukk – Nukklear Satan, Goat Urine, Blood Vomit Sperm
Across five tracks of murky darkness, the breath of destruction breathes moste foule… And that’s only the first side.
Deathstorm – The Unfathomable
…a triumphant masterpiece, drawing the listener forward in a measured way, all while also channeling the utter chaos of the void.
Misanthropic Rage – Igne Natura Renovatur Integra
The rest of the album, and the rest of the opening track, is this weird hybrid of experimental Black and Death Metal.
