This Toilet Tuesday (10/25/16)
Welcome to This Toilet Tuesday! As per usual, every metal band on Earth has decided to dump their new album out right around Halloween, making it a heavy work week for us but a good week for you. W, Karhu, and I have picked a couple of the best for you, but there are a ton of interesting new releases out this week. Peruse the list, maybe check out something you haven’t heard before, and enjoy!
Vermin Womb – Decline (Translation Loss Records) [Deathgrind]
Listen
Vermin Womb is that throbbing, mind-rattling headache that wakes you up after a night of binge drinking. It hates you. It wants you to suffer and relive the horror of every poor decision you’ve made. It twists and turns and chugs and thrums and makes you want to vomit and die with its relentless pounding. It conjures vomit and bile. It will do its best to convince you to just give in and give up. If this new album has its way, you just might. FFO: Piss Vortex, Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire, Primitive Man 10/28/16 (W.)
Keitzer – Ascension (FDA Rekotz) [Grindy Death Metal]
Stream
What happens when a former German satanic black/thrashing champion decide to abandon their narrow confines and write the best album they’ve ever made? An extremely boring, milksop, poop flavoured soup called Starless happens. But these Germans aren’t unsmart. They realized their blooper, ditched their vocalist and recruited Harvey Keitel in his place (or so the rumour says). The result is a raging, but not very thrashing, combo of death metal and grind. Ripping, tight-as-a-maiden-in-bloom riffing, Slicer-Dicer precision drumming and a whole new world of pitbullian growls from Mr. Keitel (presumably). If you’re a fan of modern death, like your tempos fast and your songs short, and don’t mind a breather or two – don’t miss this. 10/28/16 (Karhu)
Incarceration – Catharsis (FDA/Soulfood) [Death/Thrash]
Listen to “Evoking the Possession,” “Infernal Suffering/Chaos and Blasphemy,” “Obsessed By Death”
While their label and press releases all ardently describe Incarceration as the modern epitome of old-school death metal, they sound more akin to the likes of acts such as Ripper and Sadistic Ritual to my ears. This is by no means a bad thing, of course; it’s fast and violent, and my own throat started to hurt just listening to the vocals. There’s been no shortage of good death thrash this year, but there’s no way I’m saying no to more of it. Jam this until your neck breaks. 10/23/16 (Spear)
