Fawn Limbs – Darwin Falls
Music is often somewhat visual for me, but rarely is it as viscerally visual as this album.
Tiny Tim – The Boxlers: A family history written as it occurred
I find myself enthralled in the story of a family I’ve never heard of, a family who never leaves the house, but instead spends their days watching an Egyptian TV show that they can’t understand.
Isgherurd Morth – Hellrduk
There is great depth of feeling on the album that seeps through the cracks of this raging entity.
Dødsferd – Suicide and the Rest of Your Kind Will Follow Part II
Part I and Part II combine to give a visceral look at the demons whispering in Wrath’s ear.
Cicada the Burrower – Corpseflower
I’m still trying to wrap my head around it, though my heart was completely captured with the first notes of the first listen.
Replicant – Malignant Reality
If we had a rating system, 10 out of 5. We don’t, so just let this shovel you around the face and see if I’m wrong.
Dread Maw – Libations of Blood
The six tracks account for about seventeen minutes of runtime, every second of which twists and turns your psyche in delightfully disturbing ways.
Voland – Царепоклонство – Il culto degli Zar
Elements of symphony, black metal, doom metal, and folk metal blend together in dark, melodic, bombastic package of weird and interesting music.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Veilburner – In The Tomb Of Dreaming Limbo
…if you like to challenge yourself and your psyche, this release is on par with anything else released this year, at the top of the pile of the viscerally bizarre.
