Top 10 Bandcamps of 2015

CHAIN GANG GRAVE - Bury Them and Keep Quiet 

might be my new favorite band from NY.


TETRAGRAMMACIDE - Typhonian Wormholes: Indecipherable Anti-Structural Formulae 

black noise recorded through a traffic cone onto a boom box covered in wet paper.


LUMINOUS VAULT - Communion

oh hai.

SIRE - s/t demo

members of noise rock giants White Mice and Tinsel Teeth killing it at raw black metal.

GUNSHIP - s/t

driving in light polluted desolation pining to be haunted by the neon spectres of Jaimie Gertz look-a-likes.

FARSAS - Kazkaiptai Nejuokinga

perfect grindcore.

OKAZAKI FRAGMENTS - Abandoned

severely brain damaged tech-grind that retains an organic thickness often lost among the post DEP lot.

OPENING BELL - Always Be Closing The Portal

takes me back to my late college days of scouring the interwebs for Black Mayonnaise d/ls. the Communion played with them this past July and they left quite an impression. looking forward to doing more with them in the future.

 MEGA DRIVE - Hardwired V1.4

in the optic crosshairs of a stop motion robot assasin.

CRYPTIC VOID - Psychomanteum

if Artifical Brain is the monolith, Cryptic Void is the madness they bring. i dunno. this is tiring. shit rules.
