Happy Belated 420/Easter et al

damn I missed posting this on 4/20 but was preoccupied with gettin highwith Jesus and the easter bunny and that whole crew and eating those damn delicious peeps and sucking the marrow out a cadbury egg

Night Troll - Dimension Gateway

Trolling Night Metal..Inept, captivating, brilliant outsider music..like Ildjarn without all of that atmosphere bullshit. Is it just me or is this the ghost of Frank Zappa doing black metal?! It might just be me.

Dimension Gateway

Schismatic - Circle Of Evolution

Feral primeval athropormorphic death metal that will leave you in a bloody heap...Schismatic just drips with atmosphere...riffs of destruction seethe and hiss like billous fluids pussing from a stuck hog. You really can't expect any less from a Polish death metal band circa '93, now can you?

Circle Of Evilution

A Cautionary Tale

Ixion - In Hoc Signs Vinces

Bestial French black metal from 1986! Holy shit, this is so intense and crazy especially for the mid 80's when all was cool!!

In Hoc Signs Vinces

Graf Spee - Reincarnation

Damn this blog is right at 100,000 views, so I'm gonna celebrate with some incredibly malicious, shredding proto-black metal from Uruguay circa 1989!! Put this one right up there with Parabellum or Hadez or Reencaracion. This ain't some Venom Hellhammer worship, this is from some otherrelm where shredding and overall craziness reign supreme. Underground, dangerous, '80's and South American....quite a dangerous proposition. Includes the Mother Fucker ep, so there ya go.

Especially Likely Sloth - But If What He'll What Ant

Tardcore beyond tardcore. Genius or madness, or both?  You be the judge...

But If What He'll What Ant

Za Frumi - Za Shum Ushatar Uglakh

Ha haha this band is crazy! You think Summoning is obsessed with LOTR, this band takes it to a whole nother level! The vocalizations are a highlight as it's all in orcish complete with wildass orc intonations. Hilarious, mesmerizing and delightful!

Za Shum Ushatar Uglakh

Ysigim - Whispers

Previously known as Obnoxiousness (awesome band name, right?) Ysigim present here a compendium of otherwordly atmospherix...Polish funereal doom/death steeped in heavy psychedelia. cool stuff.

Whispers

Comus - First Utterance

Definitely one of the darkest hippy albums ever made and definitely a personal fav. Check out these AMAZING lyrics:
Hymen hunter, hands of steel, crack you open and your red flesh peel
Pain procurer, eyes of fire pierce your womb and push still higher
Comus rape, Comus break sweet young virgin's virtue take
Naked flesh flowing hair her terror screams they cut the air
...nice, huh?

First Utterance

Psyche Out: Don Bradshaw-Leather - Distance Between Us

Dark Psychedelia will be the name of the game around here for a little bit, and I wanted to start things out with an enigmatic album that I just recently stumbled upon: Don Bradshaw and a gal named Leather's soul-occult psyche freakout from '72. It's difficult to even describe this. I can only say it is haunting, powerful, horrific, insane, beautiful....I could go on but I think I'll stop right there. Do some research on this guy, it's fascinating the conjecture and mythology that people go into. Does no one actually know who this was?!? Anyway, I've been listening to these youtube clips the past few daze and I advise you to do the same. No link, but music this ephemeral should not sit on your computer anyway, it should settle deep in your mind only to come alive during those darkest moments when surreality can offer the only escape.

ALF Projekt - Melmac Rock

You had your brain blown by RALF Projekt, now how bout a little ALF Projekt?!!...maaaan that Gordon Shumway could blow, but we all know he was just trying to impress that nosy bitch Raquel.

Undor - s/t

Czech out this insane German black "metal". Very much in the vein of the last RALF Projekt (vox-wise at least).

The Tyrant Of Manchester - Rough Musick Bad Blood

HARSH black metal from this mysterious UK enigma who goes by the moniker Kwim. Rough Musick absolutely sizzles, dissecting the psyche into fragments...an all to appropriate experiment in this day and age. Sometimes I feel like this album looks goddamit...FUUUCK, sometimes I feeel like this SOUNDS!!

Rough Muzak, Bad Blood

Graveland Anno 2012

Check out these new pictures of Rob Darken acting a nut. That guy sure knows how to have a good time...what's he battling there, some kind of mythical antelope? Damn I'd love to do some shrooms with that guy, talk about a hoot!

 

 

Fudgeworthy Records Compilation

The infamous Fudgeworthy Records, home to all your grindcore, shitcore, noisecore, tardcore, whatever kind of disgusting lowbrow core you could possibly ever need. Founded by a gentleman named Infection Charlie, Fudgeworthy's reign of terror began with the Jesus Chrust 7" in 1990 and ended with the Phillipino black/grinders Kratornas' 7" in 2006. This label was the tastemaker of a degeneration, satiating the socially disenfranchised and mentally borderline mid-late '90's meat(shit)head prevert. G.G., Gonkulator, Meatshits A.C., Captain Three Leg...enough raw noise to keep you whacking your pud for daze. Fudgeworthy indeed.

Nagelfar - Srontgorrth

Hands down the best German black metal album ever made...may sound like hyperbole, but just listen to this immense sucker.

Srontgorrth

Lugubrum - Face Lion Face Oignon

New Lugubrum. Weird as fuck. Perfect.

Face Lion 

Peste Noire - L'Ordure à l'état Pur

Everything and the kitchen sink black metal from these French bastards. Maybe too ambitious for it’s own good, but goddamn when they hit the ball they hit it hard. There are some absolute jaw droppin moments on here, of course you might have to wade through aliittttle bit of crap to get to them. I’ve always had a soft spot for Peste Noire, so I can overlook the bad and the ugly….oh shit, who am I kidding, it’s all ugly (but in a totally good way of course).
