AURICULAR ZOONOTOSIS: May 2021

 (April)


music. such a fun and worthwhile pursuit that only yields rewards to the honest, hardworking, and honorable. bibbity bobbity boo. 


CANDY APPLE - Sweet Dreams of Violence 

don't mind if i do. 


GRUNTSPLATTER - Dowsing the Cancer Lands 

maybe the only project that could use the word "briar" in their song title and still make it sound like evil having night terrors. 


ENTRAILS MASSACRE / SANCTIONED - split

i like it when bands that are named like tacky porno-gore bullshit turn out to not be tacky porno-gore bullshit. 


JARHEAD FERTILIZER - Product of My Environment 

on that Stormcrow / Acephalix tip. 


BORN OF PLAGUES - Cast Down 

like if the first couple of Black Cobra records leaned a bit more into bleak mournful horror. 


PAN DAIJING - Jade

missed out on a physical copy of the first one, and now it's going for trust fund murder porn art school power electronic kid prices. stay vigilant. stay pure. 


CONFINES - Hammer and the Dance 

you want to know the biggest problem with that new Mortal Kombat film? the soundtrack didn't sound like this. 


RETCHING PUS - Infected Excremental Slush 

alter-ego of Bowel Erosion. really hope they do more releases with this project. 


MOUTHBREATHER - I'm Sorry, Mr. Salesman

on the shortlist for my favorite cover art of the year. 


BLOOD SPORE / COAGULATE / SOUL DEVOURMENT / GUTVOID - 4 Dimensions of Auditory Terror 

came for the Blood Spore, but Gutvoid is also worthy of note. 



this shit should be talked about more. talk about it more. 



hopefully if and when the BDSM Nights start back up out here the DJs upgrade the playlists to include the last decade of really great shoegaze / goth acts. get over KMFDM already. KMF god DM amirightyouknowwhatimtalkingabout. 



violent power. 



"show your teeth" 


SHROUD OF VULTURE - Upon a Throne of Jackals 

from the land of Obscene. 


DIGITAL NEGATIVE - s/t 

hi, Richard. 


OUR PLACE OF WORSHIP IS SILENCE - Disavowed and Left Hopeless 

looking good so far. 


SULK - Tennis Elbow 

[vanishing context] 


DISCREET - Dead Man's Line 

Total Abuse personnel continuing in that vein. nice Anthony Kiritsis reference there. wonder if he'll turn up again?  


PRISON RELIGION - O FUCC IM ON THE WRONG PLANET 

somewhere between Clipping and PassengerOfShit. 


CINDYTALK - Wappinschaw 

didn't think i'd live to see Cindytalk reissues. but then again, i disn't think i'd live. 


NADJA - Luminous Rot

always like hearing from Nadja. 


CRACKED - The Key to a New Sexuality 

what horniness actually looks like. 


VAXED HEAD - My Pfizer Nurse 

"my filthy mask / into the trash / let's put on show / for taco cash"


 KIDNAPPED - Nowhere is Sterile

eat me, Jon Chang, ya frickin' dweeb. 


ANTEDILUVIAN - The Divine Punishment 

only one song and it's already the most warped thing i've heard all year (non-Black Midi division)


ANTICHILDLEAGUE - Entrenched Extreme 

a hair off their cunt could write a better PE record than you. 


VOLUNTEER CORONER - In The Garden of Blood 

ok this ain't bad sorry. 


HERMAN KOPP - Tiffauges 

Nekromantik's composer doing his SPK thing about historical child eaters. 


BLIND EYE - s/t

nasty 


BLOODY HEAD - The Temple Pillars Dissolve into the Clouds 

on that Rainbow Grave tip 


SOFT KILL - Not Quite Dracula Music 

more gaze 


FIXIONS - Singularity 

TFW you drink so much Jolt Cola that you get sucked into F-Zero 


BIG WATER - ... and I'm all out of shit to fuck up

"can i see the light six feet under?" 


TRIAC - Pure Joy - Numb Grief Stricken Animals 

been way too long.

AURICULAR ZOONOTOSIS: April 2021

 (March)

hey yo let's hear it for cutting promos on estranged ex-ceteras!


SILENUS - The Garden is Burning

sorry to be a traitor to the ScEnE, but there really isn't much on LI that exictes me musically (or any other 'ally, for that matter... "wHy DoN't yOu JuSt mOvE?" fucking cost of living... how do they work?), but Silenus really brings it to me and places it at my feet. dark hardcore that is actually dark and actually hard. 



good sense for wetness here... tired of eating my death metal dry.




warm like the feeling of hot-dogging the gash of fresh roadkill. 



really bringing that Meatjack energy.




GISM with a Misfits aftertaste. 



an infinitely more evil take on the early 00s post-Locust power violence vs. no-wave style.


 

that opening riff of "Unbridled Lunacy" = preamble to mass grudge-fucking



much like Helms Alee, i really don't know why i don't hear this band literally everywhere, but i'm glad the normies are sticking to their gheuns with Greta Van Fleet Foxes or whoever the latest "only new band that i like" thing is. 



still can get it. 




what Battle of Mice might have evolved into if they stuck to it. 



"fast" boinds really need to put away the pool noodles, turn off the Nickelodeon, and get their shit together... starting here. 



they seem like one of those bands that doesn't get brought up a lot, but whenever they are, no one has anything negative to say. not a bad place to be (cue the anal cavity stalagmites of Action Snark to tell me they're "terrible" or whatever super soaker level killshot you've got ready. sorry... hasn't been a good ever.)



best new project i've heard from Hospital in a long time. 




fucking violent. ones to watch. 




can't believe they still haven't been gobbled up by one of the "bigger" underground labels. shit's turning into WWE out there; "paying dues" for 12 fucking years and still riding the catering bench. not that i'm bitter, or anything. 



A: i like where this is going 
Q: what are six words i haven't said about my sexual prospects since 2017? 




say yes to no nonsense 



go home, Eat the Turnbuckle. 



"ever see what a hollow point does to phony's fucking face? me neither, but i'm sure it's great." 



something pretty to round things off.
