“I could be a rich bitch if I played live”
New Albums
🌶️ Cryptosis
Progressive thrash, The Netherlands (Century Media)
FFO: Revocation, Vektor, Warbringer
I would never have expected this kind of growth in this band. I mean, I really like their previous output, which was great melodic thrash/death. But this is more of everything. A little black metal, a little melodeath, a little post-metal. There’s more melody, more darkness, more ambition, more ideas.
🌶️ Sadist
Prog death, Italy (Agonia Records)
FFO: Death, Atheist, Nocturnus
Somehow I got Sadist’s Crust a million years ago. I believe someone in a cd shop recommended it to me, because they knew I liked extreme metal with a really distinctive sound and vision. Sadist is still at it, still pushing boundaries.
There’s more: Avulsed (death, Spain), Destruction (thrash, Germany), This Gift Is A Curse (black/sludge/hardcore, Sweden), Dawn of Ourboros (progressive post-black/death, USA) and Impurity (death, Sweden). The rest is in the playlist!
Nine new songs
🌶️ Blood Abscission (atmoblack, ?)
🌶️ Ghost (heavy/rock, Sweden)
🌶️ Messa (doom, Italy)
🌶️ Al-Namrood (black/folk, Saudi Arabia)
🌶️ LIK (death, Sweden)
🌶️ Neptunian Maximalism (drone/doom/free jazz, Belgium)
🌶️ Benediction (death, UK)
🌶️ Behemoth (black/death, Poland)
🌶️ Slough Feg (heavy, USA)
The rest is in the playlist!
Not-so-heavy & next week
Not-so-heavy album of the week: Jethro Tull (prog, UK)
I’m looking forward to next week because of: Rwake, Nite, Som, Wombbath, Ainsoph, Warbringer, Fange & Sanhedrin.
What is your favourite? What did I miss? Let me know!
That Blood Abscission track is an absolute heater, this is my most anticipated album of the year so far.
I like Ghost, really curious to hear the new one in its entirety.
That Messa track has me real intrigued about their new one, too.
J.L. of Hoplites dropped an album with his new project, Smiqra, too! https://hoplites.bandcamp.com/album/r-ya-dz-e
Cryptosis! Bizar he? Vond de openingssingles van het album bizar goed, vooral Static Horizon, wat een apocalyps-klapper van formaat is. Bring it on, zwarte gaten!
