To The Teeth: 🌶 Inter Arma 🌶 Ensiferum 🌶 Rebel Wizard 🌶 Enslaved 🌶 Pallbearer
New albums
Ensiferum (epic folk from Finland). A little cheesy? It's epic folk for crying out loud. I want this running with warm, reeking juusto. It could use a pepper, though. For my taste.
Battle Dagorath (🌶 atmoblack/ambient from Switzerland/USA). If you didn't have enough expansive, majestic, high quality black metal with last weeks Paysage d'Hiver, have a listen here.
Inter Arma (🌶 sludge/black/death/post from the USA). Inter Arma can do absolute hopelessness like no other band, but that doesn't mean they can't have fun. This is a fun, cool covers record with songs from Prince to Hüsker Dü to Nine Inch Nails.
Rebel Wizard (🌶 black/heavy from Australia). The Heavy Negative Wizard Bob Nekrasov is back, and still completely unique. I mean, there are good blends of heavy metal and black metal that I love, but they're all not quite like Rebel Wizard. Close your eyes and nostrils.
There's more: Voivod (thrash/prog from Canada - a new ep that's a new song that had been out for months plus two live songs, but who's counting), Static-X (industrial from the USA), Lantern (death from Finland), Aseitas (experimental death/hardcore from the USA), Skeleton (black/death/speed? from the USA), Meridian Dawn (melodeath from Belgium/USA/Finland), Skeletal (death from Finland), Noctem Aeternus (black from Argentina), Sunken (atmoblack/doom from Denmark), a split from Taake & Deathcult (both black from Norway) and Moribund Mantras (doom from Germany).
