This Toilet Tuesday (1/10/17)
Thinking about how much good music oneself will never hear is a little depressing. We’re inundated with so much new music that even if we were listening to music constantly, it would be impossible to keep up. Yet here we are every week, searching and digging for new tunes to please our ears. We’ll never be able to listen to everything we want to, but we can at least keep giving ourselves that rush of excitement that comes with finding something fresh and new. For that, we can provide.
Shaarimoth – Temple of the Adversarial Fire (WTC Productions) [Death Metal]
Listen to “Faceless Queen of Bloodstained Dreams”
Everyone could use a little more Morbid Angel-style death metal in their lives, and Shaarimoth are more than happy to deliver. “Faceless Queen of Bloodstained Dreams” is a beefy mid-tempo piece with a ritualistic feel and a slight archaic Middle Eastern tinge befitting the band’s namesake. It truly evokes a sense of ancient power, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. Now if only there was somewhere you could buy it. 1/13/17 (Spear)
Condenados – The Tree of Death (Shadow Kingdom Records) [Doom]
Listen to “Sea of Fire”
Condenados? What image does that name conjure in your mind’s eye? If you said ‘Quorthonian true metal!’ surprise, you’re correct! “Sea of Fire” starts out with what you think is going to be a boring stoner riff, but soon the glory pours down from Valhalla above, and we all raise our mighty hammers high as the riffs rattle like steel, the drums pound like other steel, and the vocals soar like a steel falcon. Into glory. Amen, and amen. FFO: Bathory, Doomsword, Grand Magus 1/13/17 (W.)
