Sh*t That Comes Out Today: October 2, 2015
Hello MetalSucks reader! Welcome to the new Shit That Comes Out Today, your satanic bible of this week’s heavy new releases.

Deafheaven
New Bermuda (Anti)
On a playlist with: An Autumn For Crippled Children, Ghost Bath, Wolves In The Throne Room
Listen New Bermuda full stream (here)
If Sunbather was any evidence, Deafheaven has a knack for taking the intensities and energies of real black metal and splicing them with… something. Huh, actually, it’s hard to say. Deafheaven needed flak jackets for the onslaught of vitriol from BM tr00thers, but why? Because Dfhvn took (“borrowed”) without paying homage and respects? New Bermuda has the same relevancy in this ongoing discussion: is this a postmodern shift in black metal or just a fad? Leave it at this: Sunbather was a good album, and New Bermuda is just as good, but not better.

Sepulcher
Mausoleum Tapestry (Edged Circle)
On a playlist with: Tribulation, Obliteration, Cadaver
Listen Mausoleum Tapestry full stream (here)
With a name similar to “sphincter” and a sound reminiscent of ripping one open, Sepulcher delivers. Their brand of edgy thrash is amateur/debut in the best way possible: garage. In a world of polished iPads and electric fuckin’ cars, a little bit of musty rust is a welcomed wake-me-up. Point being is that the world is not as antiseptic as we’d like to think — garbage flows from every pore of our ever-decaying society. And this particular garabage flows right into your goddamn hypothalamus!

Denial
11°22.4’N 142°35.5’E EP (Blood Harvest)
On a playlist with: Immense Carnage Vortex, Catacombs Of The Grotesque, Cenotaph
Listen 11°22.4’N 142°35.5’E full stream (here)
The first thing you do is copy the coordinates into Google Maps and see where/what the hell is worthy of an EP title. Turns out, it’s the middle of the ocean! Or, the “gateway to hell” according to the Bandcamp page. Also, there’s this weird thing online? It’s all very, very interesting. But not as interesting as the EP itself, which is pretty interesting too.

Venefixion
Defixio EP (Iron Bonehead)
On a playlist with: Sepulcher, all super-early thrash
Listen “Defixio” (here)
Because this is the future and we’ve all forgotten how to communicate like normal human fucking beings, here’s a gif which is ever so befitting. You’ll get the idea: brain damage, windmills, lots of “fuck yeahs” screamed into a true and utter chaos, etc. etc. But again, as with Sphincter above, you get that raw, unbridled adolescence: the kind of adolescence where you have a massive sex drive and limited vocabulary.

42 Decibel
Rolling In Town (SPV)
On a playlist with: Johnny Crash, ’77, AC/DC
Listen/Watch “Midnight Teaser (Evil Woman)” (here)
Imagine this shit: you’re fed up with your lousy, boring job, and one day you have a sudden realization. The realization is “fuck this shit!” and you storm out, middle fingers extended, flipping over tables and tossing waste baskets and calling everyone “bitch”. You make a small racket, but not enough to get you in trouble with lawyers. You get in your car, hard/wet, fuming, but with an the amphetamine rush of finally being in charge of your life. You turn on the radio, and this album comes on. ALL WILL BE OKAY.

Children Of Bodom
I Worship Chaos (Nuclear Blast)
On a playlist with: Kalmah, Warmen, Sinergy
Listen “I Worship Chaos” (here) “Hurt” (here)
True fact: Children Of Bodom died after Hatecrew Deathroll (2003), which was their very own God Hates Us All. Each subsequent album replaced original melody with generic melodicore and Andrew W.K. bullshit (no hate on AWK, he’s got his own thang). Instaclassics like “Every Time I Die” and “Triple Corpse Hammerblow” put Bodom on the map, and for good reason. The young guitarists who became any good wanted to be Alexi Laiho, not the fuckin’ dweebs from A7X. Anyway, I Worship Chaos, the shiny new album. Is it a comeback?
