This Toilet Tuesday (7/28/20)
It’s a Toilet Tuesday, friends. Get you some new tunes. We’ve got a couple banging death metal releases of very different flavors highlighted today, and there’s plenty more metal to be had in the list below. Let us know what else is good so I can wishlist it and revisit it six months from now.
Katalepsy – Terra Mortuus Est (Unique Leader) [Brutal Death Metal]
Listen to “Those Who Rot The Souls”
Ah, Katalepsy, you’re back. Don’t be so nervous, I’ve accepted that you’re not the band I fell in love with, that there’ll never be more David Draiman on Green Eggs and Slam songs. I’ve already forgotten The Beast of Nod, and put it behind me, and I’m now ready to love you as you are. It’s alright if you aren’t, at least “No Rest, No Peace” goes hard. 7/31/20 (Karhu)
Valgrind – Condemnation (Memento Mori Records) [Death Metal]
Listen to “Entangled in a World Below”
A couple of years and a label change after Lacertilian last told you to listen the rising Italian death metal force Valgrind, they’re back. Not into sci-fi this time, not by the looks of it, but with all the Morbid Angel et al -esque riffs you could ask for. Or a “comprehensive compendium of classic death metal presented in an engaging yet extremely unequivocal manner,” to put it in someone else’s words. 7/31/20 (Karhu)
