Tzompantli – Beating the Drums of Ancestral Force
“Beating the Drums of Ancestral Force” is a war cry against the oppressive forces of modernity and a calling forth of ancient warriors and ancient ways.

If you’re an adventurous sort, this album is for you. If you’re not, well you will be by the time you’re done listening, because this album is for you anyway.
Give this one a listen…it’s got some punch.
I just walk away from listening each time feeling like I’ve grown or changed in some vaguely satisfying way, like I’ve achieved a catharsis I didn’t even really know I needed.
TL;DR – Lust Hag by Lust Hag is a dark, swirling, yet well balanced masterpiece of raw black metal tension.
The six tracks are more nuanced, more blackened, and meaner than what was found on the already stellar prior releases.
“Convergence” is absolutely visceral and will hold its grip on you for a long time to come.
The evolution happens bit by bit, piece by piece, almost under the radar, and all in service to the ‘stretching of wings, to fly into the sun.’
Michiganders please note that they are at the Regal Beagle in Ann Arbor on May 5th. Sell it out.
