digging this Apostate Viaticum album:
https://invictusproductions666.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-gates-of-gomorrah
Before listening to the song you’re about to hear, “In the Shadow of the Monolith”, I was seduced by Invictus‘ comparisons of the album to the likes of Diocletian, Bölzer, and Zom — along with Gospel of the Horns, Vomitor, and Throaat. And then the song itself seduced me. A melding of black and death, it’s a twisted piece of savagery that doesn’t unfold in a predictable straight line. It squeals, groans, vaults, and veers. It becomes a meat-grinder of morbidity and then a head-nodding, bone-mangling lurch, with a burst of frenzy at the end. My kind of nastiness.

Got a press release about Black Death. After forming in Cleveland in the late '70s, the group is reputably the first all-black heavy metal band.

The one album the band released, a self-titled album that came out in 1984, will be getting the reissue treatment from Hell's Headbangers sometime this year, presumably. It "consisted of a seven-song main LP and then a two-song 7", both of which Hells Headbangers will reproduce down to the same detail," says the press release.

Not to be confused with this Black Death.

Psyched about that... Auburn was supposed to reissue that like ten years ago but it never happened, it's a fun heavy metal record.

Power Trip + Iron Reagan was v satisfying. IR's drummer didn't make it past the Cdn border, so there were a trio of fill-ins, incl the drummer from Skull Fist!

The new Anomalie album, Visions (out on March 17 via Art of Propaganda), that I have been enjoying and hyping in this thread is finally streaming in full at Invisible Oranges. Joseph Schafer says of the album
The biggest weakness atmospheric black metal faces is thinness. I don’t mean production thinness, I mean a feeling that the music itself is slight. Listening to too many of these bands feels like ordering stew at a restaurant but reviving a bowl of hot broth.Austria’s Anomalie know how to keep the soup hearty. The brainchild of live Harakiri for the Sky member Marrok, Anomalie mostly keep to the folksy side of the chilled black metal spectrum. You might think of them as gazpacho, soup to cool you down in the afternoon. At times, though, things get chunky, heavy and hot, thanks to some almost Heaven Shall Burn-ish melodic death metal riffage. Always every element is in balance, which makes their forthcoming third record, Visions, such a pleasant dish in a genre full of bland appetizers.

Good couple of days in Philly... Monday was Deafheaven, This Will Destroy You and Emma Ruth Rundle and I just came home from Oathbreaker with King Woman and Jaye Jayle.
I wish I caught more of Emma Ruth Rundle's set since I like her albums but she went on so early... I like This Will Destroy you more as background music playing on my CD player than in concert, frankly... Deafheaven was probably the best I have seen them of the three times.

I really enjoyed Jaye Jayle's set, reminded me of Helios Creed if he used different drugs or was an earthling... Picked up the split they did with Emma Ruth Rundle, ironically enough! King Woman was fantastic, the singer jumping i the crowd at one point, really love the new album which I picked up at the show. Oathbreaker was a cathartic, thrilling, over the top force to be reckoned with. The amazing thing was after the show ended there was Caro at the merch booth without even a moment to rest, from screaming onstage to asking what size shirt you wanted in about as much time as it took to get from the stage to the merch table. It was funny to me how she spent the whole show shrouded in black fabric and with her long hair covering her face and suddenly people are taking pictures with her.

But what kind of soup would you say it is?
goddamn the new Havok album is fun (even if the opening track makes me cringe a bit)

loving the new Obituary. I didn't care much for the last one - wasn't terrible, just didn't have many songs I was that into. My only disappointment is that it is largely bereft of some of the extended Celtic Frost-y groovy parts of their past, but then again I can listen to Slowly We Rot or "Redneck Stomp" if I want that.
I do like some of the forays into outside territory, like the heavy metal-ish moments during the first few tracks. the simplicity of the songwriting works too. I can see these songs going over well live (which I'll know for sure on Sunday)
