30,000 Monkies
I Ate Myself To Grow Twice As Big (Consouling Sounds)
On a playlist with: Shebrew, MIAVA, ???
Listen I Ate Myself To Grow Twice As Big full stream (here)
As if the band’s name and the album’s title didn’t give it away: this shit is weird as fuck. Oftentimes that’s not a good thing. Sometimes it is though, and this is one of those times! Punchy, experimental, blackened, noisy, etc. It’s the experimentation here which makes the sale. Also, think about it: if you could eat yourself… that’s like being able to grab onto your shoelaces and pull yourself up!

Beastwars
The Death Of All Things (Destroy)
On a playlist with: Kvelertak, Bossk, The Golden Grass
Listen The Death Of All Things full stream (here)
A forceful resurgence of heavy stoner rock would be saucy. The distinction here is heavy, obviously, as a lot of stoner rock is far too chilled to flow like hot liquid. The Death Of All Things is a rock album get-behindable. It works as hardcore driving music, while also being moody, touchy, and definitely under an (the) influence. As they say: “obey the riff.”

Dälek
Asphalt For Eden (Profound Lore)
On a playlist with: Techno Animal, Faust, The Young Gods
Listen Asphalt For Eden full stream (here)
Hip-hop and metal have had an, uh, interesting relationship. Most attempts at breeding the two end horrifically. Maybe it’s the clash between music discordance and lyrical rhyme? Maybe there’s some kind of beat-based disagreements which aren’t resolvable? Dälek have kind of figured something out: don’t use any metal. That’s right, no metal! Just ambient beats, trance-like atmosphere, and minimalist vibes.

The Wretched End
In These Woods, From These Mountains (Indie)
On a playlist with: Emperor + The Lion’s Daughter + Satyricon
Listen In These Woods, From These Mountains full stream (here)
How sticky would your tentacles get if you learned that members from Emperor, Windir, and Dark Funeral had combined forces? The Wretched End is that force-combination, and black metal is the name of the game. In These Woods, From These Mountains is actually textbook black metal, straight from the spicket. This isn’t bad: it’s only to say that there’s much gone right and little gone wrong.
·
Phalloplasty
Necrophagic Funeral Ritual (Redux) (Gore House)
On a playlist with: Pancreaticoduodenectomy, Amygdalohippocampectomy, Hemorrhoidectomy
Listen “The Sick Room” (here)
For the same reason we can remake the same gore/horror movies ad infinitum, we have Phalloplasty and albums like Necrophagic Funeral Ritual. And unless you’re some kind of square or something (certainly not), it shouldn’t bother ya. Pinned as “one man brutal slam,” this one man brutal slam is truly fucking br00t, i.e. duh-level mechanical drumming and what sounds like actual barfing.

Sarcoptes
Songs And Dances Of Death (Cimmerian Shade)
On a playlist with: Batushka, Aquilus, Mgła
Listen Songs And Dances Of Death full stream (here)
Lean back and interlock your hands behind your head and put your stink-feet up on a pile of skulls. Prepare your ear-holes for Songs And Dances Of Death, an album so lovely you gotta write it twice: this album is so lovely. Symphonic, diabolical, and above all else: effortlessly classic. Sublime. Anything else, or shall we conclude for this afternoon? Concluded.
