This Toilet Tuesday (11/10/26)
We got a thick, meaty week of new music on our hands as the crush of the impending year-end lists bears down upon us. There’s a ton of new stuff in general, but the density of things that I’m actually interested in is shockingly high. There’s the obvious stuff in Artificial Brain and Cutterred Flesh, but if there’s more that aren’t big names around the Toilet, call them out in yonder comments.
Aronious – The Ever Living Ones (The Artisan Era) [Prog/Tech Death]
I missed the memo that Aronious had a new one on the way and that they’re doing a pretty convincing Job For A Cowboy impression now, so this comes as a pleasant surprise. We’ll have to wait and see when the full album comes out, but based on the three tracks available now, it sounds like they’ve changed course from the noodly tech of albums past to a slower-paced, proggy, harsh sound evocative of the aforementioned act. There’s more to it for sure- check out the 10-plus-minute “Exalted Aon” for something a little more out there- but the general vibe matches, and I’m totally here for whatever else they’ve got in store. 11/13/26 (Spear)
