Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
|
Shoegaze that mourns... |
|
What can I say, Shoegaze influenced dark metal which people call atmospheric black metal is the most diverse and melancholy genre that I ever heard of. A loyal fan for many years, Its a part of my nature; I am like a nomad in the search of beacon passing through the hazy moor since many moon ago. What this soothing music gives me is an endless calm with loads of misery, at least I can escape from my fate rousing inside with endless tears. Agalloch was the first band along with Alcest (I remember) that introduced me to this doomy melody, before that I usually listened German based folk act Empyrium and others. My affection to this sacred music doesn't allow me yet to write about the album. huhuh!
'Ashes Against The Grain' is the third full-length from the Portland based act. The album was dedicated to Christoph Florian Rehse of Gothenburg scene's Escape The Day who committed suicide in 2005. John Haughm is the front-man, the genius behind all the lyrical content. As I do write lyrical themes inspired from the same phenomenon and circumstances, The lyrics need a big applause first; each track in the album is totally concept based which is very rare among the bands. The guitars are perfectly balanced creating dirge. The acoustic work truly truly suits the pattern. Vocals are like the laments while the hearse passes by. I really appreciate the drum work which is so prominent and doesn't fade apart in the raw riffs.
The album contains eight tracks out of which three are instrumentals. The prologue starts with 'Limbs' (my favourite track), the song should be listened in a narcotic silence so one can better feel the sorrowful tune. 'Falling Snow' is yet another masterpiece that leads you to the bleak winters. 'Fire above, Ice below, 'Not Unlike The Waves' & 'Bloodbirds (Our Fortress Is burning...II)' are something that has a depressive placebo effect that rectifies the person's solitude for a time. Instrumentals are awful too, amazing sort of work.
To me, Its a perfect art that can enrich sorrow but descends the austere.

Archspire - All Shall Align
|
One of the few... |
|
Yeah , one of the few albums I bought in the last years , being a death metal enthusiast from the early 90's , I'm getting really difficult to impress but this was one of the few cases .
We are talking about hyper tech brutal death metal here , for fans of Spawn of Possession , Arkaik , Cytotoxin , Origin , Brain Drill , Viraemia so...if it is not your cup of tea...
I really think that Brutal Tech is one of the few sub-genres of Death Metal still worth to listen , talking of Archspire , I don't know how they managed to gather together such talented and proficient musicians and such a fast barking machine all in one band , ok ok Canada is such a place for Tech Death but...wow...good production as well...
They add something to the genre with this album and I would keep an eye on them waiting for the next .
In the meanwhile enjoy this TERRIFIC BRUTAL TECH BULLET!!!

Soreption - Engineering The Void
|
Engineering The Void |
|
When "Deterioration of minds" came out in 2010 I was astonished by the cleanliness of the production , the freshness of their "mechanical" sound and the complexity of the composition .
With "Engineering the Void " they brought it forward , the sound is damn catchy , the bass is what made me fall in love with this album , it's so thick and clear .The guitar work is intriguing and these tercets put here and there really make me jump .The drum work is precise and damn fast .Growls fit perfectly in the scheme .
Either you like technical or brutal death metal you'll love this album , I can't stop listening to it and it's processor .

Melodic guitar solos and solemn clean vocal choirs favour the immersion to the enigmatic world...

Disparaged - And Babylon Fell
|
EVIL, pure evil !!! |
|
If you don't know what DISPARAGED sound like then maybe this will help, think if Immolation, Deicide and Incantation got into the same room to record an album then this^^ is exactly what it would sound like, pure fkn brutality!
I think the best song "Approaching Underworld" but you can form your own opinion, these guys have a good strong production behind them too so if you are worried about sound quality thats no problem.
In short this damn album is for every death metal fan out there it's the perfect soundtrack to your everyday life, chaotic music for a chaotic world!!!
"CHEERZ fuckers!" ... with my best regards \,,/

If jesus got some girl pregnant |

If jesus got some jewish hoe prego and it had a miscarriage and the fetus came out alive and pissed off, This is what it would sound like.
It would be doomy, It would be full of evil, and it would not give a shit about you or anyone else or it's father.

Blackrat - Whiskey And Blasphemy

50 Best Metal Songs of 2013 By Kim Kelly • December 12, 2013
28. “PRIMORDIAL BOOZE”
BLACKRAT, WHISKEY AND BLASPHEMY
(Xnihilo Records)
Worshipping upon the bloodstained altars of Sodom, Kreator and, above all, Venom, Blackrat came tearing out of Calgary like men possessed. Gleefully self-aware and utterly unrepentant, the title track off debut Whiskey and Blasphemypays homage to Beezlebub, blood and booze (in that order). Evil as shit and fun as hell.
