ANTAEUS - Condemnation
the sharpened minimalist counterpoint to the sprawling progressions of their BM countrymen Deathspell Omega.
if Pharmakon is the rage of the cornered, and Puce Mary is the poison of the seducer, then Antichildleague is the mania that transcends them all.
BLOOD INCANTATION - Starspawn
each song feels like it's own mini-LP. so much imagination while never becoming overwrought.
CONCRETE MASCARA - Perennial Disappointment
goes where most pretend they've been.
HELMS ALEE - Stillicide
a leaner piece than their previous record (one of my favorites of 2014), but still loaded up with that 90s AmRep charm while not sounding like a callow throwback.
IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT - Inceste
truly ones after my heel-chewed heart.
MODORRA/BODYBAG - Split 12"
delicious trash.
NOISEAR - Utopian Armageddon Omega Aftermath
not mediocre poser violence with a phony tough false-pessimist stance like that other "record of the year" you'll be seeing on every kindergrinder's list. could watch them play for days.
RECLUSE - Stillbirth in Bethlehem
hypnotically ugly. ruthlessly impenetrable. callously unconscionable. charbroiled and phlegm marinated. oh yeah... pornographically problematic.
TEN THOUSAND MILES OF ARTERIES - Even Spilled Seed Crawls Toward The Womb
equal parts Gnaw / Gnaw Their Tongues / Gnawed.
