Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Ignominy – Visceral
Their patient building of terrifying atmosphere set them apart from contemporaries and make them well worth thirty-five minutes of your time.
Allfather – A Violent Truth
These six tracks hit much like the sledgehammer in the hands of the Punisher in season 2 of that show – violently and repeatedly, with devastating effect.
Nhomme – 種の過音
For something so off kilter, the three tracks are incredibly fluid, with a subtle beauty.
EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: 71TonMan – Of End Times
Layering sludge metal with noise and subtle blackening, 71TonMan join a very select few in creating a soundscape of palpable nihilistic dread.
Drunk MFers – The Drunk Sessions
The Drunk Sessions is not nearly as heavy as what I normally write about, but the five tracks are still emotionally hefty.
INTERVIEW + REVIEW: The Giant’s Fall – The Giant’s Fall
Creating a dark atmosphere with careful, patient percussion, bass lines that seem to hum with the very vibrations of the earth, and creative riffs which run through several variations of doom metal.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Decipher – Altar of the Void
Lead guitar work adds nasty flourishes to a mesmeric track, while the rhythm section keeps everything moving the way raging waters keep the rapids moving.
Burden of Ymir – Heorot
This is music for singing along in drunken voices, for rousing the spirit of warriors before battle, or for dancing, full of glee, through the moshpit.
