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.
Baxaxaxa – Catacomb Cult
Plenty of doomy blackness that will give you the stank face and bob your head to the evil flames that seem to grow higher and higher as the album unfolds.
King Woman – Celestial Blues
From the thunderous energy of “Coil” to the chugging thwacks that accompany the heart-wrenching lyrics of “Ruse,” this album has a little something for everybody.
Impossitor – Another Day, Another Doldrum
This whole album sounds like a fast-paced summer road trip (complete with all the flat tires and sugary gas station snacks) wrapped up into 11 tunes. Turn it up, drive fast, and roll the windows down!
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.
