Dragged into Sunlight- Hatred for Mankind (2009)


 This is stupidly hateful and depressing black sludge from the UK. I'm alittle behind on this so you've probably  already heard this, but its recommended. reupped.

Svartrit- I (2010)

Here is more swedish orthodox black metal
''Svartrit'' is Swedish for ''black rite''. The band was started in 2003  because of religious beliefs and as a way to reach the anti-cosmic spirit through music.

Gotsu Totsu Kotsu (兀突骨) - Mouryou (魍魎)


I first heard these guys at a show my friend's then-band Zombie Blasphemy was opening at Urga in Shinjuku in late '09. GTK was the headliner, though I had no idea who the hell they were. Which I guess was good, because the surprise I had upon hearing them, especially after a pretty lack-luster set of openers, was huge. GTK play technical/brutal/stupidfuckingsubgenres death metal, though they've also got a number of almost-catchy riffs blood-splattered throughout the album.  

I hear a lot of Cryptopsy, though with obvious differences, but mostly I hear a rockin'er version of Haruhisa's other band, Defiled. I'm continually impressed by all 3 of this band's members' musicianship, though the afore-mentioned Haruhisa (vocals, bass) is of particular note because each of his hands are actually just big, throbbing blisters from playing like he does. Its pretty gross. Or brutal.

 Bloody Ears & Beer (where I exclusively post about the music scene over here) has the translations of the tracks listed if you're interested.

Am I even allowed to promote my own blog here?

Chronaexus- Algedonic Awakening (2010)

 Chronaexus is a atmospheric black metal band from Sacramento, Ca. Basically its all the dudes from the tech as fuck DM band Slaughterbox playing some horribly depressing black metal. Its fast in some parts, Others are slow, thick and churning keeps the Algedonic Awakening an interesting listening. The main thing that makes this album completely killer is the texture/ layering they use. Anyways that's enough outta me... here it is.
oh yah and welcome Bloody Ears And Beer who is gonna help keep this blog going with new shit for you to bang your head to.

Weakling - Dead As Dreams


   One of the quintessential USBM albums, not yet up on this blog. Sets the stage for both the NYC BM scene as well as the Cascadian scene, in my opinion. Released in... 2000-ish, and died immediately after that.  Apparently, some guy from some stupid sounding band called "The Fucking Champs" is doing some guitar-magic on this album, but I wonder.


   These 2 posts end my initial posting session. Caaaaan yooooou dig it?


Syphilitic Vaginas - Complete Studio Recordings


   Despite the funny characters adorning the cover of this album, S.V. are from somewhere in Sweden or whatever. I guess they've been around since 2005 but remain largely inactive these days. Anyway,  this is pretty good BBQ music, so long as you've got enough whiskey to remain firmly seated on the outskirts of said BBQ grounds, not talking to anyone.

   Probably for fans of G.I.S.M., Dishammer, Bestial Warlust, or Disfear.

11 as in adversaries- The Full Intrepid Experience of Light (2010)

I've been patiently waiting and very curious for this one. This is the band that was formerly Glorior Belli when they decieded to go not so black metal, then switch back to black metal and released this under a different name. Although I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it all the way through with out it being background music whilst I play unreal tournament 2k4, It sounds interesting. If anyone has a link to the new Glorior belli/creeping split please send it this way. Also if anyone else wants to contribute/upload/ review  for  this blog please feel free to email me diekillyourselfdie (a) hotmail dot com. I find that I dont have as much time as I used to to do this and I dont want to see it slowly die.

No One Is an Island- Presentations (2007)

No One Is An Island is the latest project from North Westen Pennsylvania musicians Brandon Colao, Greg Simon (formerly of The Goodbye Sessions/There’s Always Tomorrow) and rookie to the line up, Ryan Colao. The members have been playing together since 1999 and have toured the entire east coast and mid-south twice, worked with Alan Douches (West West Side Music), and also has shared the stage with acts such as Fall Out Boy, Poison The Well, Terror, Hit The Lights, Spitalfield, Rookie Of The Year, Punchline and Down To Earth Approach. In this new project the musicians were advancing to stray away from their previous efforts and demand something new and fresh. The band went into their recording studio in the summer of 2010 with almost nothing written, all drum tracks improvised, and only one or two guitar riffs written prior to the sessions. Building something from nothing; a lasting impression of this brand new charismatic act.
