This Toilet Thursday (3/16/23)
To quote the bard himself, “Time What Is Time?” We may be a day or two late, but we’re certainly not short on new music. The release list this week is most thick, and there’s a solid chunk of good stuff in there. Give it a look and tell us which releases you’re looking forward to in the comments.
Anarkhon – Obiasot Dwybat Ptnotun (Debemur Morti Productions) [Blackened Death Metal]
Just look at those song titles and tell me you don’t want to jam this immediately. What you see on the tin is exactly what you get with this one, and it’s exactly what I wanted out of it. This is apocalyptic death metal with gurgled chants and production that sounds like it was recorded in an ancient temple dedicated to something that ate a god in times long past. There’s a touch of black metal sensibilities in the way the riffs repeat and circle into each other that really gives it that final ritualistic touch, and the result is monstrous as the entity on its cover art. 3/17/23 (Spear)
