Sh*t That Comes Out Today: August 5, 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.
·
Caina
Christ Clad In White Phosphorus (Apocalyptic Witchcraft)
On a playlist with: Plebeian Grandstand, As We Draw
Listen Christ Clad In White Phosphorus full stream (here)
Eternal and suffocating, pretty much sicker than all shit, Christ Clad In White Phosphorus is the absolute cream of extreme esoteric black metal. From the post-mod album imagery/representations to the self-defining song titles e.g. “Entartete Kunst,” this album rips holes into skulls and spacetime. Brain: enveloped. Mind: overtaken. Body: paralyzed. Mouth: sewn the fuck shut.
·
Vukari
Divination (Bindrune)
On a playlist with: Vattnet Viskar, Bosse-de-Nage
Listen Divination full stream (here)
I burped up some text here about Vukari and their latest creation and for the sake of comprehensiveness (a virtue indeed) I’d like to reiterate: listen to this band. Divination is a pose struck in dramatic lighting, but it doesn’t deflate into flattened imagery or fake bullshit. The metal is bare and truthful here, and it’s set to a melancholy yet oppressive tone; this is the textbook basically.
·
Sect
Sect
On a playlist with: Pantera, Earth Crisis, Madball
Listen Sect full album (here)
Imagine stomping back and forth like a Sumo wrestler shouting the (bisected) word HARD-CORE-HARD-CORE, holding up a lit stick lighter and feeling the adrenaline rush through your bulging hot veins! Sect’s Sect is sect-ually brutal and just such straightforward metallic hardcore (more like diamond-reinforced granite-core) that you want more and more and more.
·
Morphinist
Terraforming (Sick Man Getting Sick)
On a playlist with: Mare Cognitum, Earth And Pillars, The Great Old Ones
Listen Terraforming full stream (here)
Rocket-ships to outer space, only these don’t take you back: such is the journey of Terraforming. Embracing this album more than definitely requires you giving up your soul to the void of the universe, so to speak. Anyway, expect bearably lengthy opus-like tracks with big genre shifts and plenty of calm-down time. Variance, the spices of life, the meadows of flowers, etc., oddly yet joyously you’ll discover these as well.
·
Temple Nightside
The Hecatomb (Iron Bonehead)
On a playlist with: Lycus, Messa, Monolord
Listen The Hecatomb full stream (here)
There are two theoretical hells: the fast and brutal torture (stabbing, gutting, eviscerating, dissecting while alive, etc.), or the slow doom torture, where you relive your death so unbearably slowly that the boredom alone becomes the torture. The Hectatomb is precisely where the latter occurs. You can get plenty of the former from powerful black metal bands like Caïna (above). But remember, time goes on forever until it doesn’t.
·
Russian Circles
Guidance (Sargent House)
On a playlist with: Pelican, Isis, Cult Of Luna
Listen Guidance full stream (here)
Russian Circles’ status in post-metal is indisputable and dominating. The heart and soul, basically. Every formula, every mood and tempo shift, all the lattices of intricacy; it takes significant time to decode, but the script reads ever-flowing and Odyssey-esque. Relistens are mandatory, you’ll begin to lust, the jam holds you in and the darkness wins your heart.
