EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: Done – Rest to Rust EP
The six tracks are more nuanced, more blackened, and meaner than what was found on the already stellar prior releases.
Ushangvagush – Pestmo’qon
Musically, Pesto’qon picks up where Mntu left off, and then builds from there.
Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2022
Welcome back to another edition of Hayduke’s top 50. I want to remind everyone that musical taste is entirely subjective. I do not claim that these are the best releases of 2022, only that they are my favorite 50. Also note that this is a snapshot in this moment...
Hayduke’s Top 50 0f 2021
Enjoy Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2021 list.
Darkgem – Luminous Hag
There is vibrant energy and a sense of immediacy to these tracks, probably due to the purpose of the composition.
Wrekan – Gevurah
There is really a lot going on here, yet the eight tracks remain (mostly) within the confines of Raw Black Metal as a distinct subgenre.
Pessimista – Uma saída
Through the extra time allowed on a full length, the artist really spreads their wings, taking the time to develop each feeling, each howl, each riff, each drum stroke.
Lunacy – Melancholic Invocations
The final product is gripping, painful to behold, and wonderfully cathartic.
Pessimista – Sanidade?
Pessimista works first and foremost from a thematic base of DSBM, though stylistically, I find a lot of raw influences present as well (though not Raw, if you understand the difference).
