New Albums
🌶️ Mortuary Drape (black/death from Italy. FFO: Master’s Hammer, Necromantia, Varathron)
These guys have been around since 1986 and you know what to expect: doomy riffs, blackened atmosphere, deadly everything. The masters at work, and they still slap.
🌶️ Suffocation (brutal/tech death from the USA. FFO: Dying Fetus, Nile, Immolation)
You also know what to expect with this band. With a twist though: this is the first album without pioneering vocalist Frank Mullen. He is officially replaced by Ricky Myers, who had assisted the band in vocal duties on tour for a few years now.
🌶️ Final Eclipse (black from the USA. FFO: Death Fortress, Aeternus, Immortal)
Is it Death Fortress? It does sound like them, and it looks like them. But who knows or cares: this is awesome Death Fortress/Ukrainian-style black metal that’ll sweep you off your feet. I absolutely loved the first release and this is more of that, so I’m more than happy.
There’s more: Angra (power/prog from Brazil), Xoth (tech black/thrash from the USA), Green Lung (🌶️ stoner/doom from the UK), an ep from Insomnium (melodeath from Finland), Morne (sludge/post from the USA), Faidra (atmoblack from Sweden), Jord (atmoblack from Sweden), The Magus (black/heavy from Greece - more or less a restart of Necromantia), Carnation (death from Belgium), Ch’ahom (black/death from Germany), Briqueville (post everything from Belgium), Closet Witch (grind from the USA), Fuming Mouth (death/crust from the USA), Aeonian Sorrow (gothic/doom/death from Finland/Greece), an ep from Ufomammut (sludge/stoner/doom from Italy), Suol (black from The Netherlands), Trhä (really? a new Trhä? wow), Feminizer (black from the USA) and Tetragrammacide (black/death/noise from India). The rest is in the playlist!
New songs
There are new songs out from: Panopticon (🌶️ atmoblack/folk from the USA), Aeternus (🌶️ black/death from Norway), Witherfall (🌶️ heavy/prog/power from the USA), Cryptosis (🌶️ prog thrash from The Netherlands), Knoll (grind/death/noise from the USA), Convocation (funeral doom/death from Finland), Exocrine (prog/tech death from France) and Cobra Spell (heavy from The Netherlands). The rest is in the playlist!
Non-heavy & next week
Non-heavy album of the week: haven’t heard anything special!
I’m looking forward to next week because of: Vastum, Gama Bomb, Left Cross, The Mosaic Window & Shylmagoghnar.
What was your favourite? What did I miss? Let me know!
Thanks for all this! The Tetragrammacide, Xoth, Morne and Suffocation albums are all new to me and sound really intriguing. Very excited for Green lung as well. I'm also peeping Spiritbox though idk if that's up your alley.
