Cromm Cruac - Cromm Cruac

Cromm Cruac are a Dutch band that specialize in hard hitting death metal well learned in the Voivodian school of unorthodoxy. They released this galloping little curiosity last year to little acclaim, but believe me when I say it's a gem. Totally ripping funky in a good way, Technical and offbeat Dutch goodness.

I'm hunting waaabits!

Thrashing Relics: Volume 1: Underground Thrash Metal from Finland 1987-1990

Great compendium of late 80's thrash/death bands from Finland!! Featuring the likes of Lycanthropy, Mengele, National Napalm Syndicate, and my personal fav, Morphosis......
.....Fuck in your moosh!!!

Thrashing Relics

Adrian Belew - Lone Rhino

Adrian Belew was a simple Kentucky boy who rose to fame as a wild-ass guitarist (and vocalist) for Zappa, Talking Heads and later on the legendary King Crimson. Lone Rhino is his first solo offering full of magical wistful numbers that seem to conjure the pizaaz he would dose out on Crimson discs Discipline and THRAK.... Animal Grace is a hard driving piece with a twisted melody line and bold vocals, Adidas in Heat reminds me of the Seinfeld theme song, while the title track renders a pathos that belies its humorous subject matter. This is definitely a weird album, but it's a grower.

Skullface - Live In Death Chamber

Holy shit this is brilliant!! Awesome old-school madness from '83! Just take one look at the cover and you'll know whether you need this hot little roaster or not.  Me? I couldn't live without it.

Kapital Extreme Music: French Black Metal Hate

Some of the best and grimmest in Frenchie Black Metal...featuring the likes of Psychotik Grin, Hakenkreuzzug, Pagan Assault and Peste Noire. Ripped from an old cassette tape I got who the fuck remembers where, this is underground as hell and sure to satiate that most pernicious of bloodlusts.

Sort Vokter - Folkloric Necro Metal

"Recorded under the influence of THC"... and listened to under the influence of THC!

Woodland's Edge - Liquefied In The Molten Bowels of Earth

Totally DIY Midwestern style droning black/death with tech metal flourishes.

Dark Heresy - Abstract Principles Taken To Their Logical Extremes

Super obscure technical death metal from Britain circa 1995. Brilliant stuff, mixing the busy guitar work of Carcass and Atheist with acoustic seance passages. If you love super dry productions, you will really dig this sound.

Abstract Principles Taken To Their Logical Extremes

Behemoth - Satanica

This band used to be halfway decent, but as Knish Varggoof so eloquently put it "There goes Nergal from Behemoth with a big fucking penis-horn on his forehead, so...he may put it into his asshole, it's right place..."

Satanica

Brick - Secured In Darkness

All I know about Brick is that they were from St. Paul, Minnesota, they only released this full-length in '97 and they played the weirdest brand of brutal death metal I have ever heard in my life.
