This Toilet Tuesday (11/20/18)
Life, ain’t it a real thingo.
Spear’s out of action for today so he’s asked if I can sub-in and drop this week’s big release dump. Thankfully he’s been diligent and already compiled the list of 439 albums which come out this week. Honestly have no fucken idea how he does that for you animals every Tuesday. Y’all should thank him for it. With food, money, or sexual favours. You know, something tangible.
Anyway, he normally blurbs a few choice cuts from the carcass. As I’m currently in a prostrate position afflicted with the usual physical and existential pain, and thus restricted to editing this from my phone, I’ll refrain from attempting anything fancy.
Just having a quick glance down that list I see some albums I’ve either heard or am interested in checking out. Blackrat are a pretty wild NY punky/black-thrash band you should fuck with, we talked about that new Cattle Decap on The Appendix Podcast a few weeks back, Corpsessed is a solid album from a band with a sub-standard name (don’t @ me), whereas I feel like there’s no way a melodeath band can live up to the name Necropanther. There’s new Sodom? Shame their label didn’t send a promo. Unearth is still a thing. But really, all that matters to me is
O B L I T E R A T I O N !
Having already written and spoken about them on at least severalteenhundrednforfty occasions, I won’t berate you again. Well, about that topic anyway. Oh, and Hans has an album blurb too. Here –
Haustið – Howling, the Sol Above, Nothing Below (Independent) [Black Metal]
Like being slowly ground to mush by slabs of drab, grey concrete. At least as desolate and bleak as any DSBM record; even the drums sound listless and like they’ve given up hope. Yet the vocal style is not the typical howl of agony, but rather a defiant snarl, and the air is one of soldiering on despite knowing wbout the pointlessness. 11/18/18 (Hans)
