Solid week of releases. Starting to pick up a little more. Hopefully that means some cooler weather is coming. Plenty of stuff to look forward to.
Stand outs this week:
Immiserator - Debut album from experimental blackened death metal band out of New Zealand. Founded by Harrison McKenzie from Olde Throne, this project focuses on industrial ruin, environmental collapse, technological domination, and terminal capitalism.
Djevelsort - Debut album from solo Norwegian atmospheric black metal band with dark symphonic and progressive elements. He draws inspiration from 1990’s Scandinavian black metal and adds a modern twist. Rich Gray (Annihilator) filling in on fretless bass duties and it sounds amazing, some really great bass work. If you like black metal, don’t miss this one
Also looking forward to: Xenith - Miscreance - Gorod - Hesperia - Azgaal - Azaghast - Svorght - Mindwork
