This Toilet Tuesday (6/2/20)
Another week, another Tuesday. Hans and I have picked out a couple sweet death metal jams for your enjoyment in what’s otherwise a pretty sparse week for new music. Not to say it’s all bad, of course, so be sure to check out the list for more.
Denunciation – California Commando (Maggot Stomp) [Death Metal]
Listen to “Bag Full of Guns”
Death metal on Maggot Stomp – you probably know the drill. The refreshing difference is that the tempo remains aggressive throughout and the sound, while still swampy and filthy, still allows riffs to stand out sharply. I hope they don’t have overlong samples at the beginning of every damn song though. If you dig it, be sure to also check Karst and Cryptic Rising from the list below. 6/5/20 (Hans)
Exhumed/Gruesome – Twisted Horror (Relapse Records) [Death Metal]
Listen
I don’t think I really need to say much about this; the names Exhumed and Gruesome more than speak for themselves. But angry death metal is what I need right now, and I want to bump this split; everything available to listen to right now rules. Particularly vibing with Exhumed’s reckless use of pinch harmonics. 6/5/20 (Spear)
