VIDEO PREMIERE: Gomgoma – Suffer the Incubus
They wield their instruments like weapons, attacking the listener. Hints of 80s hardcore punk come to mind in the manner of attack.
Starer – 18° Below the Horizon
The album transports me into my own mind, then leads me on an exploration of that infinite space.
Knoll – Interstice
Like all good grindcore, listening to Interstice is an abrasive journey, like sliding down a sandpaper waterslide.
TRACK PREMIERE: Aerosol Jesus – Drown
Aerosol Jesus is a sludge band, but one which recognizes the genres roots in hardcore punk and wears them proudly.
TRACK PREMIERE: Malacoda – Deadlights
Crawling Chaos has many layers that I keep discovering with every listen, much like the horror stories the songs are based on have many layers themselves.
Enforced – Kill Grid
Moshing and headbanging will ensue with each listen, of which there have been (and will continue to be) many.
The Sun and The Mirror – Dissolution to Salt and Bone
Using drone, ambient noise, doom riffs and drumming, cello, and mesmerizing vocals, the duo of Reggie Townley and Sarah Townley create a masterpiece of rich soundscapes that draw me into another world.
VIDEO PREMIERE: Plasmodium – ParaMantra
Plasmodium attacks in a fear-inducing swarm of chaotic terror.
TRACK STREAM: Putrescine – That Mountain
Imagine coming to consciousness somewhere in a dark, dank, crumbling tunnel. There are hundreds of insects, spiders, centipedes, and more crawling all over you. That’s the impression I get from the swarming riffs.
ALBUM STREAM: Changeling/Everlasting Light – Split
A cohesive split where both bands hook you and won’t let go, this is a release worthy of thirty plus minutes of your time, over and over again.
