This Toilet Tuesday (9/2/2014)
Greetings, flushers. I come to you today bearing good and bad news. The good news is that, as ever, the forces of the toilet have marshaled on, bringing you the hottest new releases the world of metal has to offer. The sad news is that I will no longer be curating This Toilet Tuesday. However, do not despair, as I’m leaving this column in the more than capable hands of Spear, the true workhorse behind the Toilet who was already providing you with a ton of great content. Although my cheeks are vacating the seat, you will get a familiar feel and warmth from Spear’s posterior, and you’ll continue to receive the same regular updates you’re used to. So, without further ado, here’s the new and improved This Toilet Tuesday, as presented by Spear. -W.
Spear here. Though the column has changed hands, rest assured that we will still be bringing you a heaping mass of quality new releases and poop jokes each week. Flush on, friends!
Khaossos – Eksistentialismi (Usva) [Black Metal]
Listen to “Kieroutunut Valo”
Kieroutunut Valo. the lead track from Eksistentialismi, is a solid new black metal release. I would say that this track is a pretty by-the-numbers effort in BM, but Khaossos add a few interesting flourishes with spoken-word dialogue, minimal vocals, and a rather atmospheric and etheral outro. The word epic is far too overused today, so instead I’ll say that this song offers a good premonition of a much more interesting journey. Hopefully the rest of the album is engaging like this track.
