DEATHHAMMER-EVIL POWER

This Norwegian horde is pure bang your head for satan , true old school satanic metal . Fucking total Show No Mercy /Seven Churches/Endless Pain/Welcome To Hell brand of evil played at a 'Death Side' tempo. This carries on the torch of true metal and uses that torch to set fire to churches and false metal. They don't try to combine it with death or black metal . This is an unholy atavistic revival of the dark ages before all those genre labels existed .There's nothing modern about this. They just shred out some true metal for satan. The speed and energy of this , despite being old school as fucking Venom, shreds most grind bands. A lot of people have forgotten how brutal this type of shit was.This sounds just like it was recorded in 1985 . This is a honorable remembrance of where this abject heresy all started and it shreds and slays in true service to our master Satan.The modern trendy underground try-hards that scorn traditional metal and scoff at old school stuff like Kreator and Destruction, taking everything too serious, needs to have this record shoved up their fucking ass!

Deathhammer is also the name of the lp Asphyx put out a few years ago. That album is also essential

SUICIDAL ANGELS-ETERNAL DOMINATION

Generic sounding genre album. This sounds like a Kreator cover band branching out into original material. Satanic thrash anthems with titles like 'Slaughtering Christianity:","Quench your thirst with christian souls" and "Vomit on The Cross". It's obviously not as good as Deathhammer's similar work in this vein, but it still slays. And they write unapologetically blunt campy lyrics as bluntly evil as Deicide and NunSlaughter. This would be more impressive if Deathhammer's Evil Power didn't exist. But its still a good genre album thats faithful to the spirit of its obvious influences.

RWAKE-VOICES OF OMENS

This full length doom ritual is equal parts apocalyptic stoner crust and misanthropic black sludge. Like Electric Wizard experimenting with black metal. Blackened ringing arpeggios transitioning into traditional metal hooks and solos layered on top of crushing down-tuned sludge riffs. Harsh screaming vocals phrasing into rough tormented hardcore vocals. Basically this is what you would get if you got baked and put some old warped Shrapnel records vinyl in a blender with Weekend Nachos, EyeHateGod and early Forgotten Tomb. The guitar work is layered and complex without coming off as extraneous technical jerkoff nonsense.Creating a powerful atmosphere of suicidal despair and hatred for the species. There's a lot of straight false bands out there trying to make records like this, like Twilight and all the christian sympathizer bands on 1859 .

            To the point that i tend to avoid anything with the words crust, post or stoner in the description. But this is actually good work. I saw it referenced in a zine alongside Graves At Sea and it was a good purchase. Rwake transgresses the wretched shitheap of boring postmetal progsludge 1859 Records worship. This shit rules and in a lot of ways it goes beyond genre by incorporating a lot of different styles in a meaningful and cohesive way alot of lesser acts cant pull off. Their other album Hell is A Door To the SUn , has the anthem Stoner Tree on it. Get that record also. Stoner Tree is Sweet Leaf for the New Dark Age!

COMBAT WOUNDED VETERAN-DUCK DOWN FOR THE TORSO

No Wave Grind/Power Violence with a lot of jazz timings and weird fucked up shit going on. Bizarre insanity that sounds like: a fast Toadliquor with blastbeats doing Zeni Gava /Gasp mash-ups, Crossed Out' breaking edge, Spazz on acid, and Pre-sellout Locust/Melt Banana without the need for electronics to make it sound crazy.The type of fucked up fringe insanity Slap-A-Ham used to put out. This band kills it with this sound. A lot of bands try this type of experiment and end up sounding like another boring Discordance Axis clone or Neurosis worshiping technical hardcore hackwork, and when that album gets bad reviews, they try again and usually endup putting out some NomeansNo with growling mcgrind mathcore shit. But Combat Wounded Veteran kill it with avant grind violence insanity. They also incorporate a couple weird spoken word cutup sound collages that work well with the chaos like how Gasp's Drome Tiller lp was laid out. It works with the music not simply pasted on as a filler intro/interlude. Mapping Unexploded Ordinance is a surrealist nightmare soundscape using minimalist elements to achieve its effect.

PRURIENT - FROZEN NIAGRA FALLS
Brain damaged worthlessness. The muttering sounds of a sell out victim of child molestation who now yearns to press his lips to the groins of still innocent children, so he can taste what he used to taste like, before he sold his flesh out in service to the greater depravities of his master and became a burnt out husk. A traitor pretending to be something of value, providing the inspiration and instruction for others to follow in the wretched path he has taken towards perpetual aesthetic whoredom.. You listen for moments to the leaking grey dust and cliches .The silent explosions of powerless emo-violence electronics beating a sampled drum ring modulated through a rectum noise gate to the sound of mother's urine. Acoustic qualities that don't reach out to anything but a maudlin void of pedantic failure , the sounds of a subculture so dead inside and without purpose it has chosen this false profit as its messiah. 

(it should also be noted that Prurient has become a born again christian and all the lyrics on this lp are pro christian jesus freak shit..)

PLEASURE LEFTISTS-SELF TITLED DEBUT LP
paint by numbers Disintegration of Unknown Pleasures through the hands of a dull uninspired hack guitarist provides the backing track for some wretched skank that sounds like Diamanda Galas with Down Syndrome on pain pills. Or a toothless harelipped crack whore after a stroke doing Cocteau Twins Karoke... The drooling mumblings of a deaf girl choking on her tongue. This is like an all girl goth version of The Kids Of WIdney High. Layla Gibbons loves this band so i should have known better. Layla Gibbons tricked me once before by comparing Angie's Turning lp to early Chrome.

COUGH-STILL THEY PRAY

This band is basically Burning Witch with their balls cut off! It sounds like some shitty bedroom DSBM project trying to go legit by crossing over into indie garage rock. Overly discernible riffage that's blatantly derivative Primitive&Deadly/Glider worship. The whiny bitch vocalist for this band sounds like his last gig was playing in a middle school Linkin Park cover band and the guitarist sounds like hes just doing emo pastiches of Earth/Jesu/ riffs with the occasional shitty digital preset factory default effects at the end of the jam because he cant solo very well. The guitars never build into anything fully crushing, they just noodle around and hint at it.

Like the careful hesitation marks on a teenage cutter trying to freak out his parents never actually carving through anything vital. This is the type of shit posers that can't handle true doom spend time seeking out because they can't understand the lyrics or it's loud or too distorted , and all that prattle., Those arent valid criticisms.It's like listening to an immature pedophile complain about sex with an adult woman. Your immature and fucked up in the head and you have a little dick, so you manifest your pathetic insecurities by fucking children because healthy developed adult women scare you and intimidate you . Just like the people who listen to false metal a.k.a radio rock. Real metal is too extreme and you can't understand the words so you stick with the kiddy shit.

NASH THE SLASH-DREAMS&NIGHTMARES

Nash was a cult surrealist composer most active in the late 70s/early 80s. An antecedent to the current work of Christopher Young and Brian Reitzell. He just died recently. His work was a deranged cross between the psychedelic prog you hear on Italian horror soundtracks & the sound of Conrad Schnitzler outtakes being tortured by Coil. Plus there's  a lot of bizarre violin work in the tradition of Erich Zann.

*

PASYSAGE D'HIVER-KRISTALL&ISA

Lofi Tascam necromancy summoning drowning waves of cryptic distortion accented by cold winds of static. Haunted by obscure paralocrian melodies buried like a still fuckable corpse in an avalanche carved out by tormented indecipherable swedish vocals. Exsanguinating into primitive dark ambiance. Than rising again from the cold wastes to scream in anguish against the world of the living as a mournful acoustic guitar is played in a futile effort to silence the screams from the grave. Only to be overtaken by darkness.

*

SCORPION VIOLENTE-THE RAPIST

Michael Gira said that electronic music post Kraftwerk was like sex with 10 condoms.This is more forced&unlubricated. Rythmic proto power electronics like Intrinsic Action with a subtle early Sheffield groove. Minimalist beatbox/analog synth setup. Cold sadistic vocals. This is that rare 'Seconds too late' /Konduktor sound few can pull off correctly. Following in the honored tradition of Lille Roger,Cloister Crime and November Novelet. essential.
