Sh*t That Comes Out Today: January 15, 2016
Hello MetalSucks reader! Welcome to 2016’s first Shit That Comes Out Today, your satanic bible of this week’s and next week’s heavy new releases. We list ‘em, we spotlight ‘em, we link you to their preview jams and full streams — and we usually stick ‘em in a fancy Spotify playlist too (below) — all for your jammage! Now crank this shit up.

Humanitas Error Est
Human Pathomorphism (Satanath)
On a playlist with: Rotting Christ, Watain, Mayhem
Listen “Quod Homo Appellatur Morbus Est” (here)
Look to your left: dudes doing windmills. Look to your right: more dudes doing windmills. Glance over your shoulder: even more dudes doing windmills. Why? Because in front of you is the unholy display of furious power a.k.a. Humanitas Error Est! Human Pathomorphism is exactly the album you’d expect to hear from an album titled Human Pathomorphism. Whatever “pathomorphism” is, I want it (probably).

Bloodiest
Bloodiest (Relapse)
On a playlist with: Russian Circles, Yakuza, Pelican
Listen “He Is Disease” “Suffer” “Mesmerize” (here)
Yes, we know, sometimes Deftones isn’t heavy enough, or proggy enough for that matter. Luckily, wider growing is the circle of bands which seem to gravitate around Russian Circles. Bloodiest is one of those bands, and Bloodiest is that one band’s self-titled album. It’s good — despite the drone and sludge, which is perhaps too much like cold molasses versus room temperature molasses.

Razoreater
Vacuum Of Nihil (Wooaaargh/Skin And Bones)
On a playlist with: Swinelord, Exhaustion, Full Of Hell
Listen Vacuum Of Nihil full stream (here)
Few of the slash-‘n’-burn extreme metal bands take the time to do their hair right in the morning, to take out the trash, to keep a general sense of order and cleanliness. Oddly enough, a band named Razoreater has managed to stay extreeeeeme but within the confines of a polished post-production. The result is something dearly lacking these days: replay value!
·
Spinebreaker
Ice Grave (Creator Destructor)
On a playlist with: Shrine Of Insanabilis, Sangus, Misþyrming
Listen “Ice Grave” (here)
With blackened smash riffs and pretty much the most kickass album art ever, Spinebreaker crushes the bloody heap left over from Razoreater — hell, if the two were brothers, they’d be a great serial killer team! The approach here is spot-on, and Ice Grave is another example of “black metal blends” so to speak. Dilute the purity to make new purity!
·
Varg
Das Ende Aller Lügen (Napalm)
On a playlist with: Wintersun, Arkona, Bifröst
Watch “Das Ende Aller Lügen” (here)
Politics/fear, face paint, skulls on sticks, melodeathcore, and the German language. Shit on a stick, smack your mother, do whatever you need to do to affirm that that is a combination! Okay, some of it comes off as silly and passe, but it’s the energy which counts, right? Don’t expect a “full package” from Das Ende Aller Lügen (“the end of all lies”), but do expect great stage value.
·
Lycus
Chasms (Relapse)
On a playlist with: Inquisition, Bell Witch, Primitive Man
Listen “Solar Chamber” (here)
Doom is moody, and you can’t be moody all the time (actually, yes you can) — and so Lycus is that perma-moody friend of yours who is always in some kind of dire, dire drama and whatnot. Though Chasms screams out not as a doom album per se. There is some wicked solid black metal here. The dynamic between doom and blast is taken advantage of, and the results are saucy as fuck. Award: this week’s top pick!
