"hErE i cOmE SuMmEr wHoooOOoOoOoOoOoO."
sejus, shut the fuck up already with that shit. you know the minute the temp goes above 79 degrees you marys are clutching your throat and gasping for AC like Pam when she found the skeleton closest in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. stop trying to convince us that this "post-Covid" summer is going to be like if Dua Lipa signed to Deeper.com. i get it; 15 months (in my case; and. then. some.) of no physical contact has let our brains become deranged by excessive masturbatory porn consumption (hey 'Rona; my shits was like that before you sharted in the daiquiri blender), but get real aighty.
mulesick:
HALLUCINATION REALIZED / REDUNDANT PROTOPLASM - split
one of them "upper tier" underground labels really needs to be snatching up HR aighty.
TAKE THAT VILE FIEND - Surplus Flesh
like a bidet catapult full of jellied sulfur.
very good so far.
THE DRIN - Engines Sing for the Pale Moon
raw goth.
rhythmic menace.
progressive metal that really pushes the more murdery impulses other practitioners of this genre tend to sidestep.
FFO Flying Luttenbachers, Arab on Radar, Skin Graft Records stuff.
core erosion.
DEATHMONGER - Hounds of the Mother
dark hardcore seems to be turning a corner.
KatieJane Garside's voice still brings the fear boners.
the Godflesh worship continues to evolve and explore terrains Broadrick couldn't even dream of.
i'll probably never be in a band again, but this is definitely something i would've brought along on the van rides to be irritating. i genuinely like a lot of this kind of stuff... but it also fun to make metal nerds squirm.
LAW OF POWER - s/t
i'm no where near tough enough to listen to this, but i'm still gunna.
DRIDGE - Curing
if you know me at all, you'll know that there is nothing about this that i don't find good. absolutely giving this the highest recommendation possible. will no doubt make my top ten for the year.
NAK'AY - Closed Doors / Open Veins
FFO Internal Rot, Caustic Wound
liquid diamonds.
cause sometimes you just fucking need it.
SWARRRM - I Saw A Dream -- I Dreamed... -
really didn't like the last few releases, but this one's hitting me just right.
CRAKK YONDER - Dead Fools Scatter The Highway Bleeding
Reveal! personnel doing weirdo electronic stuff.
ERDVE - Savgalia
it's almost getting to the point that when a new metalcore band emerges i no longer have to add the word "good" before "metalcore". .... almost....
ARMS & ARMOR - Into this Wide Unknown
serial cutter slow jams.
OPTION PARALYIS - I. Continuum
more than solid tech-core, but those snarling vocals really seal this one for me.
LINGUA IGNOTA - Sinner Get Ready
we'll see.
FFO Soilent Green.
ANTHESIS / BOTFLY / CELLPRESS / GREBER - 4-way split
let the Cattlepress saturation begin
GETTING THE FEAR - Death Is Bigger 1984-85
fuck the Cult.
in the bowels of France.
PERVERT OF ABILITY - Gorecult Revolution
more arsenal for debates with Death Metal weenies about whether or not my kind of vocals fit with their kind of music.
FFO Sire
members of Combatwoundedveteran, Triac, and other continuing in similar veins. new work sounds promising.
really like the production / song writing on this one. hard as fuck.
like where this is going.
