This Toilet Tuesday (11/24/15)
Welcome once again to This Toilet Tuesday! You know the drill: Karhu, W, and I have taken on the insurmountable task of sifting through the shit so you don’t have to. That said, sometimes we miss something. Prove how much more kvlt you are than us by pontificating about it in the comments.
Körgull the Exterminator – Reborn from the Ashes (Van Records) [Black Metal]
Listen to “Reborn From The Ashes”
Varg the mighty, Varg the brave
Fighting the enemy with a solemn face
Varg the mighty, Varg the brave
With an axe or a sword
He’s the master of hate
His name resounds high among the stars
Son of darkness
Fighting like a beast
Wild and merciless wolverine
-Lilith Necrobitch 11/27/15 (Karhu)
Shadowland – Last Night Before the Storm (Independent) [Atmospheric Black Metal]
Stream
This week, I decided to dive into new Bandcamp releases to see if anything interesting had dropped. I think I’ve been hanging out with Pagliacci too much, because a trees’n’stuff black metal album was the first thing that caught my attention. Russia’s Shadowland play an atmospheric brand of black metal that provides a suiting soundtrack for quiet introspection as snow falls gently from a somber sky. Cold acoustic passages and glimmering synths adorn the decidedly lo-fi compositions of Last Night before the Storm like the chilly glow of the aurora borealis. This album may be a little too serene for those of you craving filth and destruction, but listeners who enjoy pondering the enormity of nature will appreciate this in solemn solitude. FFO: Gris, Nordfrost, Mesarthim 11/22/15 (W.)
Autopsy – Skull Grinder (Peaceville Records) [Death Metal]
Listen to “Waiting For The Screams”
Now for something that sounds completely different from Shadowland. At this point in their career, Autopsy aren’t delivering a whole lot of surprises, and that’s just fine. If “Waiting for the Screams” is any indication, Skull Grinder is loaded with bowel-shaking growls and neck-breaking riffs. The rhythm varies from quick to zombie-crawl slow, but it never ceases to keep your body moving. Get your skull ground. FFO: Asphyx, Obituary, Pungent Stench 11/27/15 (W.)
Adrenechrome – Tales from Adrenechrome (Independent) [Doom]
Listen to “God Sized Shadow,” “The Lead Elephant”
When a band is so invested in the stoner aesthetic, I tend to pass them over without a second thought. When they sprinkle in the best parts of Mastodon with their sound, they give me pause. Adrenechrome have riffs for days, interspersing smoky grooves with surprisingly proggy passages and fierce, earthy vocals. Give this one a shot if you’re looking for a twist in the well-traveled path. 11/27/15 (Spear)
