Obscure Dungeons

If you're anything like me, you just can't get enough of medieval occult ambient dungeon-synth. If this is the case you cannot afford to pass up the selection over at Obscure Dungeon Records. Some damn fine wares this French label is peddling, and make sure to throw em a bone or two to help keep that dungeon up to code.

Exit-13 - Don't Spare the Green Love

The true originators of Hydrogrind. Cephalic Carnage eat your hearts out! Grind or Die and then Fuck off!!

Start the Madness

Forest Swords - Engravings

Drone-step, Glorious Drone-step. Forest Swords aka Matthew Barnes scrapes it down to the bare necessities and is all the better for doing so. F'ing masterpiece. As comfortable at a ravedown or with any and all the forest people...or perhaps here? Minus that rubbish music of course.

Psychologically Trancing

Njiqahdda - Grain III

The ever prolific (and ever unpronounceable) Njiqahdda have released something of a revelation here with this little ep. Somewhere between atmospheric death metal and mathrock with droning Morrissey as troll-style vocals. But with the feel of climaxing black metal just there but slipping through your reach. I'm loving it big time and am a little bit surprised at the effect it's having over me. Hypnotic, laid back...powerful. This is just about a perfect sound, do go over to their bandcamp where nearly all eee Recordings are available for your perusal.
Oppose the mainstream dammit!
