This Toilet Tuesday (6/6/23)

O highest ashen throne, receive our offerings on this blessèd day. This week, the ever-promiscuous metal of death stuck its hooks in myriad subgenres, a band was necromanced after nearly a quarter century, and ancient machines continued their mechanized march. Last one in nos nothing of flush music!


Kaksonen – Universumin kuningas (Independent) [Prog Death]

Kaksonen’s sophomore LP (and first release in 12 years) is a strange beast—equal parts groovy death metal, folksy, anthemic choruses, and blackened shrieks that occasionally channel hip-hop’s terse vocal cadence (see “Vihasta tehty”). Universumin kuningas is an album with few bells and whistles as far as production and auxiliary instrumentation goes; instead, the progressive element stems from its clever arrangements that keep listeners on unstable ground throughout. Such a bizarre concoction could only come from the mystical (some would say fictional) land of Finland! -Roldy
