This Toilet Tuesday (11/21/17)
Welcome once more to This Toilet Tuesday! This one is grossssss, with a shitton of nasty death and black metal on its way. Hans and I have a couple of prime cuts picked out for you, and that list is ripe for perusing. Get at it and tell us what’s good.
Genevieve – Regressionism (Grimoire Records) [Gross Death Metal]
Listen to “No For An Answer”
“What have I gotten myself into?” – “This is kinda fun” – “Yeah, no, this really is gross” – so goeth the mental Genevieve rollercoaster, and that’s just the one available track. Deranged blasting takes turns with calmer parts that have the courtesy of giving you something to focus on… but then turn out to be no less deranged. Once that slithering bass line and those clean vocals come in around the four minute mark, all bets are truly off, and when the song takes off again 30 seconds later, the mania turns out to be infectious. These guys have something to get rid of, and they’re gonna do it on their terms. Keeping up with them is not really an option; holding on for dear life might be. 11/24/17 (Hans)
Horror God/Techne – Horror God/Techne (split- Lavadome Productions) [Death Metal]
Stream
This is a good week for fans of ugly music. The new Thantifaxath and Krallice are excellent, and Corpse Garden is shaping up to be a monster, but don’t let this split pass you by in the wake of the bigger releases. Horror God’s side sounds like a dissonant take on Morbid Angel, its muscular riffs clad in jagged spikes of discord. Techne takes things in a slightly more atmospheric direction, even sprinkling in a little bit of clean vocals that sound like Troy Sanders singing over Timeghoul chants. Whether your tastes lie more in line with the traditional or the experimental, this is sure to please you. 11/21/17 (Spear)
Buried in a Womb – Prenatal Suicide (Sepulchral Silence) [Black Thrash]
Stream
Take a deep breath and get over that band name and logo, and you shall find yourself in the midst of some deftly executed, well-produced melodic black metal (complete with frequent synths) that regularly breaks out into thrashing, shredding d-beat parts. Sometimes soaring, sometimes mournful melodies will abruptly descend into complete muck and filth, and somehow the two styles don’t seem at odds. Piano parts and acoustic passages do seem a tad out of place, but never last long enough to become bothersome. Track six comes highly recommended. 11/19/17 (Hans)
