Oh, you thought we were done? Well we’ve got one more week’s worth of new music before the year is out, and small as it may be, it’s bringing us some good stuff. Hans and I have a couple highlighted, but it’s pretty hard to go wrong with anything coming out this week. Let’s chill and jam some sweet jams while we ride out the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>HAR – Visitation (Blood Harvest Records) [Death Metal]<\/strong>
\nListen<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d put HAR<\/strong> in the category of death metal often described as \u201ccavernous\u201d. But they change up the formula by opting for a more airy, brighter production instead of the murky sound you might expect, and by having their vocalist explore a fair range from growling to demented screaming instead of sticking only the former. Along the halfway point, everything suddenly breaks down into a nightmare that reminds me a bit of Thantifaxath<\/strong>; the rest makes me think more of Dire Omen<\/strong> if they went more deranged. 17\/31\/12<\/strong> (Hans)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shambles – Primitive Death Trance (Blood Harvest Records) [Death Metal]<\/strong>
\nListen to “Daemon”<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, then, is a more traditional example of the same death metal niche. It’s all here: thick-as-molasses guitar sound, lowest of growling, and a hefty dose of doom. Might not exactly feel like something you’ve never heard, but in case the holidays didn’t mush you into pulp already, try it with the aural equivalent of giant millstones, patiently grinding away, making you into a fine pat\u00e9. 17\/31\/12<\/strong> (Hans)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speedclaw – Beast in the Mist (Independent) [Speed Metal\/Thrash]<\/strong>
\nListen to “Rising of the Claw”<\/a><\/p>\n

Between that artwork, the band name, and the song title, there’s a pretty good chance you already know what you’re in for with Speedclaw<\/strong>. Speed, hooks, guitar shreds and Iron Maiden<\/strong>-style harmonies are the name of the game here, and they’re superbly executed. Unique? Definitely not, but it sounds really good and it’s mighty headbangable- it’s fun, and that’s all that matters when it comes to this type of metal.\u00a012\/29\/17<\/strong> (Spear)<\/p>\n
