This Toilet Tuesday (4/16/19)
Toilet Tuesday is upon us once more, and you know the drill by now. This week has some solid jams on the way, if not necessarily the most mind-blowing you’ve ever heard, but there’s enough to get excited about it. Check out this hefty list and share your picks for the week.
Ancalagon – Noctopoth (Independent) [Melodic Black Metal]
Listen to “Glaurung the Golden Basilisk”
Hot damn, this is my jam. Much like last year’s Stortregn album, Ancalagon’s approach to black metal is focused on strong, sinister melody and proficient musicianship. “Glaurung the Golden Basilisk” is a big old heap of riffs and dueling leads, kind of resembling the Kalmah brand of melodeath put through a blackened filter. Very much looking forward to the full release. 4/19/19 (Spear)
