Darkthrone - Circle The Wagons (2010)

I'm not even sure why I am posting this, everyone should already have this record anyway? I suppose it is up here for those that are living under a rock and need to become cognizant of 2010's best release. True originators of the genre and forever ubiquitous to black metal. It does everything right.

Destroy your modern metal, and bang your fucking head!

Iron Lung - Sexless//No Sex (2007)

A fitting follow up to a Mind Eraser post. Iron Lung is a two piece powerviolence act from Seattle and they have created a record that is essential to fans of the genre. Sexless//No Sex is that essential record.

Powerful segues and shifts are ever present here, going from a blistering pace to a slow heavy and sludgy breakdown-esque passage. Dig it.

Mind Eraser - The Prodigal Son Brings Death EP (2008)

Musical Equivalent to King Kong in combat boots riding a Harley into a sharks mouth. Powerviolence that straight rips through 10 songs in 12 minutes with a crushing force...and for fucks sakes, turn up your volume.

Grab if you like: Weekend Nachos, Iron Lung, Mammoth Grinder

I am going to start implementing a "Sounds Like" section to each post to provide you vultures with even more direct correlation to what is being posted.

Starting...........now.

Fleshgod Apocalypse - Oracles (2009)

This is the juggernaut of brutal death metal. Implementing classical music in some of the songs is just fucking awesome, takes me back to the ballroom bar scene in "The Shining" Fuck yes! Though this isn't the coup de grâce by an means, the technicality and pummeling pace is. Spot on.

Here's Johnny!

Vomitory - Opus Mortis VIII (2011)

 

I downloaded this a while ago, still haven't got around to fully listening to it. From what I heard of it, it sounds like some pretty straight forward death metal, nothing really stood out or grabbed my attention. This may just collect dust in my iTunes. But I figured some of you may want it if you haven't already got it.

The Rodeo Idiot Engine - Fools Will Crush The Crown (2011)

I was given this Mediafire link directly by the band or label for me to post on my blog so that internet vultures such as yourselves can listen and critique this on your own. This blog isn't and never will be a musical brothel for label promoters to spread their infectious scummy disease (I kid, it's their job, and an effective one). Though, if I like what I hear and want to help spread the word then I will do just that.

Here we have some blackened mathcore that could be compared to Celeste, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Shora, and Vatican. Fast paced, angry, technical topped with the perfect production for this type of album. My only disappointment has to be that the band or label never contacted me to do their design work, death to generic album art. Ups to good tunes!

Prepare to be bombarded.

 (Preview of an upcoming album I will be posting. Guess which one. You can't do it.)

I mean fuck, we both know I haven't been keeping this fuck hole of a blog updated enough this month. Which leaves me with only one choice as a man, I must now over compensate...kinda like those dudes who only work out there arms and wear skin tight Tapout shirts to hide their small penile dysfunctions and shit.

Expect to see plenty of more posts and links, and for fucks sakes, say something in the comments thread, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy deep in my loins.

SET PHASERS TO BOMBARD.

Ed Gein - Bad Luck (2011)

Bad fucking luck, we all experience it from time to time. Some more than others, but Ed Gein as a band have experienced a fuck lot. Broken into, robbed, lost, crashed, stolen, time after time.

This album is about packaging all the rage one would experience during a string of bad luck into a solid 22 minute release. Same ol' Ed Gein approach, balls to the fucking wall grind.
