Escuela/Disparo – Split
The feral riffs, abrasive rhythms, and punishing vocals will rend a hole in your personal atmosphere.
Chaos Perversion – Petrified Against The Emanation
Come join the ritual. Offer your hand to the feral, sentient darkness. Let the ritual weave you a new skeletal structure. Join the Chaos (Perversion).
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.
Abhoria – Abhoria
Abhoria is a catchy album, with earworm riffs crawling out of the blackness to crawl around in your brain for a while.
Anti Ritual – Expel The Leeches
Lyrically, Anti Ritual speak to the rising wave of fascism (in opposition, of course), the environmental catastrophe we have collectively caused, the oppression of capitalism, and more. In other words, they have every right to be incredibly pissed off. We all do.
Wiegedood – There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road
…the album [is] rich with feeling, beautiful in the way that a carcass is beautiful as it rots to become one with the earth again.
7 Rainbows In Exile – Twilight Gymnastics
If you were to take The Cure’s sad tune “A Strange Day” and stretch it out into a full-length album, but inject it with the dark danceability of Drab Majesty, then I feel as though you would get Twilight Gymnastics
Olim – A Mighty Disposition
The atmosphere is tense and ominous, while simultaneously being subtly relaxing and full of emotion.
Benthik Zone – εἴδωλον
This third full length by the Portuguese duo travels seamlessly through the strangeness of the deep and the dark.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Hellfrost and Fire – Debris Wrought From Winter
Punishing down-tuned death metal riffs, belligerent drumming, and David Ingram’s trademark bellow.
