This Toilet Tuesday (4/11/23)
Wowie, the bowl is full to its meat-shid meniscus this week! There are some choice post-black metal cuts below, along with the usual kitchen sink worth of cross-pollinated genres for all manner of listeners. Let us know if we missed any bangers in the comments.
FrostSeele – Dämon (The Liquid Sun) [Post-Black Metal]
This band sounds like the lovechild of dad-era Opeth and black metal—for every mellotron synth touch, there’s a gnarled black metal riff replete with blasting. The stomping rhythms give the whole thing a bit of attitude as well. Dämon feels truly unpredictable, and I’m looking forward to being surprised by the rest on Friday! 4/15/23 (Roldy)
