This Toilet Tuesday (12/13/16)
Trying to keep up with new music is painful. Just when you think that it’s starting to slow down and give you some time to clear out your considerable backlog, Grafvitnir and Teitanblood decide to drop new albums in the same week. Plus, you’ve come across a handful of bands you’ve never heard of that have some awesome songs out, and your backlog just got that much bigger. You may never catch up, but at least you’re in good company; W. and I have picked out a couple of the choicest cuts to save you some time. Let us know what else we need to hear, that we may all suffer in solidarity.
Murg – Gudatall (Nordvis) [Black Metal]
Listen to “Mästarens resa i mörkret”
Judging by the one track available on Bandcamp, Murg’s Gudatall is going to be quite the suffocating release. I especially like the way that the rhythm and lead guitars in “Mästarens resa i mörkret” are off-sync, inducing vertigo in the listener while the parched croaks beckon you to oblivion. Keep your eye on this one. 12/16/16 (W.)
Æðra – Perseiderna (Naturmacht Productions) [Black Metal]
Listen to “Svartån”
If you’re at all familiar with Naturmacht Productions’ roster of artists, then you already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Æðra; atmospheric black metal that, while somewhat familiar, is undeniably soulful and well-crafted. Æðra differentiate themselves by taking a progressive turn in the vein of bands such as Woman Is The Earth or Oak Pantheon, as well as tasteful use of downtuned guitars and some brief guttural vocals. Add in some gorgeous clean guitars and Perseiderna becomes a must-have for fans of the genre. 12/17/16 (Spear)
