This Toilet Tuesday (11/22/22)
It’s Thanksgiving week here in the US, and as such, I’ve loaded up this week’s list with plenty of jams to distract you from any impending misery at your family gatherings. Simply divest yourself from the conversation and dive into the list; it’ll give you a lot better stuff to listen to than an unhinged rant from everyone’s least favorite uncle.
Mycelium – Mycoticism: Disseminating the Propagules (Blood Harvest) [Death Metal]
If you find yourself pining for a new album from them sluggy boys lately, then perhaps I could interest you in some sporrific death metal from a little further north. Mycelium might be fungal in nature, but their riffs are muscular and their guitar tone dark and meaty. The musicianship is technically proficient and tasteful in its execution- it’s impressive, but never overbearing. My only real complaint is that the vocals are a bit one-note (at least on the available track), but that hardly gets in the way of the rest of the music. 11/25/22 (Spear)
