This Toilet Tuesday (12/1/20)
It’s Toilet Tuesday, and what the fuck, guys? Why did you decide to put out so much music this week? I get that list season is nearly upon is, but you’re gonna be way too late to be getting on those. Save some stuff for January and February. In any case, there’s a shitload of music coming out in the next few days, and I know I’ve missed a few things. Hans and Karhu have done the dirty work this week, picking through this pile to find some good stuff for you. Check those out and brave the larger list if you dare.
Crypticus – The Recluse (Independent) [Death Metal]
Listen to “Repulsive Phlegmanifestation”
The one-man gore-soaked death metal machine is back, this time foregoing any intro and getting straight to the signature groovy riffs. Despite the appropriately murky atmosphere, the sound boasts a pleasant fidelity and is once again topped off with the inimitable spooky synths, paying tribute to the project’s classic horror inspirations. Halloween may be long past, but that’s no reason not to get ghoulish. 12/4/20 (Hans)
Depravity – Grand Malevolence (Transcending Obscurity) [Death Metal]
Listen
Liking yer death metal as ass-grabbingly heavy as the no-ass having ex-president Dubya, with a catchy strain of brutality buried somewhere in the “pants-shitting” heaviness, and just the right amount of technicality to keep it decidedly modern and no-caveman having? You’ll be into Depravity. 12/4/20 (Karhu)
Undergang – Aldrig i livet (Dark Descent) [Death Metal]
Listen to “Menneskeæder”
Then there’s this. It’s just heavy. Brutal, muddy, low, guttural, low-brow caveman death and you’ll already know if you love it or not. As far as I am concerned it’s Undergang’s second listenable album so that’s a win. 12/4/20 (Karhu)
