4/24/2024 0 Comments True grit texture supply rar![]() ![]() The modern day kings of Death Doom (as far as I’m concerned) have FINALLY returned with their long-awaited sophomore full-length, Sparagmos, which diverts from the dreading cosmic vibe of Eroded Corridors, and burrows into a sonic cave of howling echoes and forbidden secrets. Spectral Voice: Sparagmos (Dark Descent Records) A much different approach than Unholy Craft’s style of chilling, atmospheric ferocity, but still a well done and well rooted piece of Medieval Black Metal that I can get behind. Featuring Peregrinus of Unholy Craft, Heraldic Blaze is a form of Black Metal reminiscent of the Tour de Garde sect of raw Black Metal (Ash Pool, Purity Renaissance), but within the Medieval realm, implementing melodic guitars and lurid keyboards, that gleam through scratching riffs, like the sun through a fog. I came across this demo fairly recently, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Heraldic Blaze: Blazoned Heraldry (Independent) You won’t find this bad boy at your local Applebee’s, but it’s delicious nonetheless. Otras: Čas Karhať (Into Endless Chaos Records)Įverything I look for in Blackened Punk and them some! The debut full-length by Slovakia’s Otras is a fucking hunters blade straight to the jugular, in every sense except literally… hell, almost even that too! Rawer than an uncooked steak and sharper than the butcher knife that fucker is destined to be chopped up by, Otras takes the aggression and ethos of Punk-infused Black Metal to the dissonant extreme, that acts like Slavehouse and Grinning Death’s Head have achieved, and sear it with the flames of unbridled hatred, but just enough for those juicy riffs to bleed through, leaving that metaphorical steak medium well and seasoned to perfection. Blackened Death with no shortage of either descriptor! Raw, unmerciful and primitive, filled to the brim with riffs chugged off like clubbing blows on an adversary! The Grand Belial’s Key on dark mode-esque artwork is also a nice touch. Assaulted Christ writhes in the perverse filth and ungodly sleaze of Profanatica, fuled with the hammering vitriol of Blasphemy, and buries it in more mud and grime than a dead pastor in a shallow grave, somewhere off a dirt road, as a result of a ritual killing. If Profanatica had a bit too much to drink one wild, debaucherous evening and projectile vomited allover Blasphemy (would love to be there if such an event occurred), this is what it would sound like. A single paragraph isn’t nearly enough to fully describe an album like this, but if you’re familiar with Abigor and their undeniable influence… you still won’t know what to expect, but it will be rich with feverish iniquity, and you can guarantee it.Īssaulted Christ: Most Despised Blood (Independent) Now, in recent years, in my opinion, those other two bands have kinda missed the mark, as far as their recent output goes, but Abigor are still deep into the most depraved cellars of the distorted hallucinatory darkness, riddled with manic beauty and melodic, gleaming madness. Abigor have returned with their fourteenth full-length, brandishing the same iron that has marked acts like Deathspell Omega and Blut Aus Nord, to carry Black Metal into more psychedelic and esoteric realms of hallucinatory darkness, spawning countless other names to follow over the last couple decades. No introduction is needed for the Austrian Black Metal titans. It’s a Vitriol album through and through, further cementing them as a diamond in the rough of the genre’s current landscape!Ībigor: Taphonomia Aeternitatis – Gesänge im Leichenlicht der Welt (World Terror Committee Productions) Tightened up just enough to where the sheer brute force of the previous album is still very much present, and not overly technical to the point of overbearing fretboard wankery. While much more controlled this time around and exhibiting a more focused technical prowess, the chaos and razor-sharp might still exudes in equal measure. The highly anticipated (for me, at least) second full-length by Oregonian Death Metal brutes, Vitriol, started off 2024 with a swift kick in the rear that the genre so desperately needs nowadays. ![]() Vitriol: Suffer & Become (Century Media Records) Get out your shovels, bear your teeth and let’s pick the bones! It got to the point where I didn’t think I’d even be able to do a What Remains for this quarter, but I did, however, get around to enough new shit to do so. Gotta be honest, I’ve been pretty scarce with new releases so far this year, as I’ve been paying long-overdue revisits to more established stuff, that I haven’t heard in a while, so I’ve been mostly preoccupied with doing that. ![]() We’ve officially reached the end of the first quarter of 2024! Time flies and such. ![]()
