This Toilet Tuesday (6/9/20)
It’s Toilet Tuesday, friends. Pretty light week, too, in terms of numbers at least, but I think I’ve added more to my BC wishlist today than most recent release days. Check out my highlighted band if you’re of the tech persuasion, but be sure to hit the list too. It’s not super long, but there are a few good listens in there.
Goreworm – Prodigy of the Grotesque (Independent) [Tech Death]
Listen
Between that band name and cover art, you could reasonably expect this to be some knuckle-dragging brutal death metal, so imagine my surprise at hitting play and getting blasted in the face with raw tech. It’s not necessarily the most innovative tech death ever, but they do neoclassical better than most; they’ve got a strong grasp of counterpoint, and their song structure and progressions show an understanding of the “classical” part of that genre title that most of their compatriots lack. It’s super fucking intense, too- this is going to be a band to watch. 6/12/20 (Spear)
