Rorcal - Világvége (2013) + A VERY special gift!!

RORCAL formed in 2006. They are from Geneva, Switzerland. These guys ARE NOT fucking around!!!! Their latest album Világvége is one of my personal favorites of 2013. It starts by grabbing you by the throat and just does not let go. This is my first post here in Doom Blackville, and you know what they say about your firsts.... Anyways, enough about me. It looks like the guys from Rorcal are very kind people because they have opened the floodgates to their ENTIRE discography for FREE!!!!

If you like what you hear, do them a favor and spend a little of that Christmas cash at their store or Bandcamp site. Again, it's an honor to be able to do this, so I am going to take advantage of spreading the gospel of Doom and hopefully help out great bands get their music out.If just 1 person spends 1 dollar from what they hear from any of my postings to help out any of the bands I ramble on about, then I will be 1 happy S.O.B. So, thanks again for the opportunity and I do not plan on disappointing.

Submissions: Myosis - Schism of Precepts (Split w/ J) & Obsidian Kingdom - 3-11

So occasionally I get requests from bands across the globe to post their material. Recently I've received these two albums. 

Myosis is a Pakistani Doom Metal band that plays pretty straight-forward, head-nodding doom with the requisite lyrics about enlightenment and stuff. Its a bit repetitious, but theres a groove there, and I definitely get a Gallhammer vibe from them, which is good. I'll be honest and say they've got some work to do, especially drums wise, but overall they've at least got the atmosphere right, and so its a decent slab of distorted muck, and a pretty good first effort. 

J's from Thailand or something. J plays funeral doom, or something.

Myosis (and J) - Schism of Precepts

I did a bit of research on this band, and get a lot of tech death metal descriptions, saying how they're huge on the underground scene or something. Upon first hearing it, I immediately pegged them as melodic death, but I'd say occasionally they venture into at least quasi-technical territory. Well, once, to my recollection. When they're doing the melodic death thing, I'd say its pretty decent, but they have this annoying habit of also going into James Maynard Keenan mode and pulling off this Tool/Perfect Circle shit, which really rubs me the wrong way. Overall, I'd say there's definitely potential here, but at least as far as this EP is concerned they really need to peg down an identity for themselves. The melodic stuff's alright, and the quasi-tech stuff they occasionally go for also works for them, but FUCK I hate anything that sounds like JMK had anything to do with it.

Side note: 311? Really? You couldn't think of anything better?

Come Original, guys. You've got to fucking come original.

Obsidian Kingdom - 3-11

Hell - S/T

I was gonna take a fucking nap and then I see some jerk who posted some whiny BS about some stupid band called Hell. Well, a bunch of lucky mother fuckers, you are, cause I'm gonna take a break from constantly interrupting people mid-sentence to voice my lousy, anachronistic opinions and provide you with this, torturous drone-doom from (I think) somewhere on the West Coast… Oregon maybe? Regardless, this album force feeds you soulless depression via Moss-y, Sleep-y, some-other-band-my-age-rattled-mind-can't-think-of-y progressions with the occasional Bongzillaesque riff thrown in for good measure. Or, through long, multi-track funeral dirges suitable for the death of an Idea itself rather than the failure to implement it on human grounds. Really thick, vile, menacing stuff. 

Update: I was totally right about them being from Oregon. Salem, to be exact.
