This Toilet Tuesday (11/5/24)
The November rimfrost is upon us—no orifice is safe from the clutching claws of ice and enchappment. The best thing you can do is submerge yourself in the deepest waters ov the Toilet, where hellfire keeps the currents flowing year-round. This week we’ve got meat storms, Indiana Jones’ worst nightmare, and 401K metal. DSBM has started crawling miserably out of the woodwork (as you would assume), but there’s something for just about everyone below the ice floes. Let us know what we missed in the comments!
Moss upon the Skull – Quest for the Secret Fire (I, Voidhanger Records) [Prog Death]
As the saying goes, moss always grows towards civilization and progressive death metal; 6 years after their debut LP, MutS has returned with another batch of bryophyte bangers. The jangly production—by now a staple of the I, Voidhanger roster—accentuates their fleet, fluid songwriting without sacrificing low end heft, keeping listeners anchored through the constant shifts in tempo and subgenres. From hollow, roaring vocals (reminiscent of Vader) to dual guitar doom and bouncy, playful grooves, Quest for the Secret Fire is poised to plant spores in the ears of all manner of listeners. -Roldy
