🌶️ To The Teeth: Autopsy, Slipknot, Givre, Gonemage, Sabaton, Coldworld, Devin Townsend & more!
New albums
🌶️ Autopsy (death from the USA. FFO: Asphyx, Obituary, Dismember)
A band started in 1987, and still tight as a duck's behind. Lyricial themes still are: gore, death, horror, zombies, necrophilia & sick humour? Hold my brains, I'm going in.
🌶️ Givre (black from Canada. FFO: Panopticon, Gris, Woods of Desolation)
Their origins are complex: they had been Givre for years, than changed the name to Entheos and made beautiful music under that name. But a part of them missed Givre and so they went back to that name, without giving up on Entheos. So now we have two bands that make excellent black metal with a folky touch, avantgarde leanings and a raw edge! (Entheos made, I must add, one of the exclusives on The Taste of Teeth!)
🌶️ Gonemage (experimental post-black/chiptune from the USA. FFO: Master Boot Record)
Garry Brent's (Cara Neir) fun sideproject is bursting at the seams with ideas and influences - I mean, look at that description - but not so much that you can only listen to it as a form of homework. To the contrary: it's a blast!
🌶️ Coldworld (depressive black from Germany. FFO: Paysage d'Hiver, Lustre, Lifelover)
What's cooler than being ice cold? Being alone and utterly miserable for all eternity. That's Coldworld for you. Why the hell do I like this so much??
There's more: Slipknot (nu/groove from the USA), Sabaton (power from Sweden), Rage (heavy/speed/power from Germany), Acephalix (death from the USA), Strigoi (death/crust from the UK - members of Paradise Lost/Vallenfyre/Satyricon), Dark Forest (heavy/power from the UK), Ellende (ambient post-black from Austria), Escuela Grind (grind from the USA), Power from Hell (black from Brazil), Alvenrad (folk/black from the Netherlands), Cryptic Brood (death/doom from Germany - 2 track ep), Sacrilegia (blackened thrash from Ireland), Tankard (thrash from Germany), Mamaleek (experimental from the USA), Darkest Era (heavy/folk from the UK), Stake (🌶️ atmospheric sludge/post from Belgium) and a live album from Moonspell (gothic from Portugal).
New singles
There are new songs out from: Devin Townsend (prog from Canada), -(16)- (sludge from the USA), Dead Cross (crossover/everything from the USA - a band with members), Candlemass (epic doom from Sweden), Obsidious (tech/prog death from Austria/Germany/UK), Warkings (power from Germany/Austria/Switzerland), Therion (🌶️ death/symphonic from Sweden), Ateiggär (🌶️ black from Switzerland), Arallu (black/death from Israel), High Command (thrash/crossover from the USA), Daeva (black/thrash from the USA) and an Alice in Chains cover from Foscor (🌶️ prog/post/black from Spain - also a The Taste of Teeth band!).
