This Toilet Tuesday (12/17/19)
This late Toilet Tuesday brought to you by troubleshooting calls at unholy hours of the morning.
It’s mid-December, and that means that AotY list season is upon us. As such, it also means that the amount of new stuff coming out has slowed down drastically. On one hand, that makes this a great time to catch up on stuff you might have missed earlier in the year as you peruse those lists. On the other, it also means finding brand new stuff you might like is that much harder. Hans has a cool pick for you all this week, but nothing else really tickled my fancy. Let us know if you find anything else interesting in that list.
Ogarya – Inclination (Independent) [Prog Death]
Listen to “That wave that spares no fire”
Hearing that intro, I prepared for the absolute worst, but rather than going for ridiculous bombast, Ogarya keep the orchestral synth stuff pleasantly and subtly interwoven with their somewhat brutal, somewhat techy death metal. At the same time, they don’t limit those elements to one particular sound. Makes me think of video game soundtracks mixed with death metal, and who wouldn’t love that? 12/18/19 (Hans)
