Sh*t That Comes Out Today: October 23, 2015

Hello MetalSucks reader! Welcome to the new Shit That Comes Out Today, your satanic bible of this week’s heavy new releases. We list ‘em, we spotlight ‘em, we link you to their preview jams and full streams — and we stick ‘em in a fancy Spotify playlist too (below) — all for your jammage! Now crank this shit up!

Shining
International Blackjazz Society (Spinefarm)
On a playlist with: Katatonia, King Crimson, Agent Fresco
Listen “Last Day” (here) “The Last Stand” (here)
MetalSucks review by “Gore” Vidal (here)

Readers of STCOT, we appreciate your politeness last week. Not one of you pointed out that we mistimed our coverage of the fancy new album by Shining. You could’ve embarrassed us in front of everybody, including our bosses, but you didn’t. What a lovely gesture. Love you brahs. And for real this time, the new Shining is out. The hunky Shining, not the gross Shining.

Exquisite Ending
The Rite Of Misanthropism: Psalms V to IX (Hibernacula)
On a playlist with: Gorgoroth, Blut Aus Nord, Marduk
Listen “Psalm V: Accursed Be Thy Kingsmen” (here)

Exquisite Ending sends mixed signals. Via songs titled “Psalms” and their (at least) two-part album, The Rite Of Misanthropism, EE seems dead serious and awesome. But what vibe are fans meant to get from their bandname, Exquisite Ending? Masterpiece Theater? Massage parlor? The title of their jam “Accursed Be Thy Kingsmen” implies the former, dignity demands the latter. Intense black metal. Crank it up!

Corrections House
Know How To Carry A Whip (Neurot)
On a playlist with: Pyramids, Tear Garden, Lord Mantis
Listen Know How To Carry A Whip full stream (here)

Imagine: You’ve mistakenly burst into the room/bar/van where members of Eyehategod and Neurosis are previewing tracks from their weird new wave insanitycore project. Noticing that it’s awesome, you might stop to compliment them. In fact, from the doorway, you’d probably suggest that it’s best that they downplay their connection to those other bands. That way, you continue while backing out into the hall, they can better reach fans who don’t like their big main bands — but would worship this awesome new shit. Then one of them would ask, Wait, you don’t like our other bands? Just slam the door.

Killing Joke
Pylon (Spinefarm)
On a playlist with: Gang Of Four, Ministry, Fear Factory
Listen “I Am The Virus” and “Euphoria” (here)

Explaining his band’s new double album, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden said that he detects a crisis of confidence for recording artists in 2015. He states that though money is harder to come by, begging for it can only make it harder. Update your hairstyle but do not change your strut, so to speak. Jaz Coleman and Killing Joke, likewise, don’t “pursue” your business. They aren’t needy. It’s admirable.

Broken Teeth
Bulldozer (Texas Metal Underground)
On a playlist with: Dangerous Toys, Enforcer, The Answer
Listen Bulldozer full stream (here)

Dude, fans of hair metal love to discuss: “underrated hair metal albums.” I never pass on any opportunity to tip people to the first Badlands album, for example. (Also, these five. Sorry.) But anyway, the world got a little happier last week when Dangerous Toys’ perfect debut album landed on a huge magazine’s fancy list of hair metal classics. At that moment, I cheered a bit and I hope the band guys each pumped a fist. If one percent of that story’s readers gets into Dangerous Toys and probably their singer’s current band Broken Teeth, that’s huge!

Onirik
Casket Dream Veneration (Altare/Iron Bonehead)
On a playlist with: Neige Eternelle, Xasthur, Taake
Listen “Invocation And Defiance” (here) “Reverent To The Flame” (here)

“It serves as a key and my own entrance in the true Hell, where everything is clear, where strength prepares you for subsistence, where you dance with the flames that elaborate, where reality is a dream and dreams are reality. This is an object that guides my passage and prepares me to understand the seizing of this earthly existence – an object that represents everything, and that presents itself everywhere.”
