Sh*t That Comes Out Today: February 24, 2016
Hello MetalSucks reader! Welcome to 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 usually stick ‘em in a fancy Spotify playlist too (below) — all for your jammage! Now crank this shit up.

High Priest Of Saturn
Son Of Earth And Sky (Svart)
On a playlist with: Sleep, Dreadnaught, Electric Wizard
Listen “Aeolian Dunes” (here)
Amid all the blastbeats, burstbeats, and beatbeats, an escape from the truly coked-up madness seems all but impossible, the racket of it all your shackles! Enter psychedelic doom-rock. Think of it as medicinal music, as release, as escape. High Priest Of Saturn is not just a clever name. Son Of Earth And Sky is what you’d expect from the genre, except slowed down 25 percent and extra spacey. Get lost at around the 5:00 mark in “Aeolian Dunes.”

Tsjuder
Kill For Satan reissue (Season Of Mist)
On a playlist with: Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Carpathian Forest
Listen “Kill For Satan (The King’s Birth)” (here)
Kill For Satan, eh? No advocating for killing here, but the point is clear: uh, kill for Satan. Reissues get moderate to minimal coverage; yeah, we’ve heard it before, right? But when something so fucking massively raw and heavy gets put back out into circulation, you can’t sidestep. Tsjuder tells you: “Beelzebub raises his horns / Seraph flesh torn apart / Belial snaps his whip / The return of the Beast / Hail!” Also, Demonic Possession has been reissued! Double Satan!

Royal Republic
Weekend Man (Spinefarm)
On a playlist with: existential hurt and general uselessness
Listen “Baby” (here) “When I See You Dance With Another” (here)
SHE’S NOT YOUR B-B-BA-BABY B-B-B-BA-BABY BABY BABY B-B-B-BA-BA-BABY SHE’S NOT YOUR B-B-B-B-BABY BA-BA-BA-BA-BA-BA-BA BABY COM’ON B-B-B-B-BA-BA-BA-BABY. Also check out those dope roller skates and wicked cartoon lightning bolts shooting forth from people’s no-no areas. Have you ever questioned existence, humanity, or suffering? She’s not your baby.

Deströyer 666
Wildfire (Season Of Mist)
On a playlist with: Bestial Warlust, Watain, Beherit
Listen Wildfire full stream (here)
Fallen away from thrash lately? It’s understandable: most nu- or post-thrash is (too) heavily reliant on exacting the sounds of yore. It’s 2016, baby! This is a new goddamn age, right?! Deströyer 666 is the answer for folks who want to be rocket-shipped back into the genre. Not that it’s a “beginner’s album” by any measure. It’ll get you there, but you have to clench. Wildfire has gristly meat on its bones, and fury in its heart, and also features some really intense displays of wrist muscle endurance.

Entombed A.D.
Dead Dawn (Century Media)
On a playlist with: Dismember, Nihilist, Unleashed
Listen “Midas In Reverse” (here)
Entombed, but after death. Makes sense, because (in a typical situation) entombing occurs postmortem. Also when a band dies, you can just slap “A.D.” after the name and bam! You’re dead and alive at the same time. This super-important duality is what makes Entombed A.D. special. They draw big numbers, big crowds, and it’s a big name. But who are they musically? Luckily, their reputation doesn’t precede the music too much, i.e. Dead Dawn is a rockin’ album worthy of your mosh-punches ‘n’ shit.

Omnihility
Dominion Of Misery (Unique Leader)
On a playlist with: Archspire, Origin, Rings Of Saturn
Listen Dominion Of Misery full stream (here)
This extra-death take on super-extreme technical death metal is a welcome addition to the already bloated repertoire of bands who uncaringly play more notes than there are atoms in the entire fucking galaxy. And even though some of the drum bits are impossible (prove it!), Dominion Of Misery is a sick and sickening album. Dizzying in its arrays and frustrating in its straightforwardness, it delivers only when you bow to its wishes.
