This Toilet Tuesday (3/26/24)
O Faustian facility, O pandemonious privy, purge us of our malodorous mess. This week we’ve got a fecal phantom, free-range death worship, and unexplained acronym-core. The ice has truly begun to thaw, and beneath the surface, many entities stir from their hibernation. Will you greet them with me, far beneath the reach of the sun’s light?
Verwoed – The Mother (Wolves of Hades) [Sadboi Atmoblack]
It’s their first English release. It’s bleak and plodding. There’s the occasional pained cry that sounds like someone far away calling for help. The atmosphere is thick. Verwoed’s sound is like trudging through an existential swamp. If you’re looking for something to put a damper on your lovely Spring walk in the tulip garden, this will definitely do the trick.
