Asphyx - Asphyx

Does anyone else think it's silly that they put both the name of the album and the band logo on a self titled album?

DL

Mechanism - Inspired Horrific

Progressive/death metal with Gene Hoglan (Death, Strapping Young Lad, etc) on drums. Quality album, kind of reminds me of Noneuclid at points, especially on Hall Of The Gods.

DL

Mumakil - Behold The Failure

New Mumakil. It is just as beastly as one would expect.

DL

Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett

I don't know how this album's title is pronounced.
Generally regarded as his best album. I personally prefer Meathole, but this is still damn good.
The song titles probably have numerous misspellings, but I don't care enough to fix the titles of songs I wouldn't be able to pronounce anyway.

DL

The Angels Of Light - New Mother

Folk band fronted by Micheal Gira of Swans fame.
At times it sounds like a folk version of Swans, at others it sounds completely different.

DL

Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb

No album has dominated my life so completely since I got Streetlight's other album.
Point/Counterpoint is perfect.

DL

A Lack Of Posting

So, school stuff has been completely consuming my life for the past few days and will until the end of next week... ish. I apologize in advance for the lack of new stuff on here, because I know you all will just die without new musics.

The Black Keys Discog (Mostly)

All of The Black Keys' full lengths, plus a tribute EP. Only missing one EP. All of these albums are great. Listed in chronological order.

Today Is The Day - In The Eyes Of God

There aren't enough decent links to this album, so here's one.

DL

Soilent Green - Sewn Mouth Secrets

This is what happens when a band does Eyehategod and Napalm Death worship at the same time.

DL

The Green Evening Requiem - Bastards of Atlas

“Storming with a ballsy but graceful air of Viking metal meshed with Americanized prog, thrash and even folk influences, The Green Evening Requiem’s melodic rock and black/death derivation is a near perfect meld of styles.”

Features Chris of Woe fame.

16 - Bridges To Burn

New 16. This is my first experience with them, and it's inspired to check out their last album, Zoloft Smile. Sludge/stoner metal in the High On Fire, Warhorse, Kylesa vein.

DL

Grindcore Double Feature: Kill the Client - Cleptocracy

Last year's best grindcore album. You know the drill - short, pissed off songs, 1000 mph drums, political themes, blah blah. Once again, nothing really new, but still great.

DL

Grindcore Double Feature: Mumakil - Customized Warfare

32 tracks, each of which grinds you into tiny pieces. Named after enormous war elephants in Lord of the Rings. There is not a single original idea on this album, but it's still great.

DL

Nachtmystium - Instinct: Decay

More USBM.
I don't care what anyone says, Assassins sucked.

DL

Grails - Burning Off Impurities

Their best album to date. Psychedelic/post-rock/whatever with some Middle Eastern flavor. Silk Rd is a great song.

DL

Napalm Death - Enemy Of The Music Business

I really like Napalm Death. You should too.

DL

Jesu - Conqueror

I threw this on randomly today for the first time in months and it's still great. Basically the most uplifting doom/drone album ever. It's still sad, but there's some hope thrown in - it's not as crushingly despairing as their earlier work.

DL

Woe - A Spell For The Death Of Man

Kick ass USBM. One more reason why the American black metal scene is the best black metal scene.

Zu - Carboniferous

3 piece band with drums, bass, and an extremely distorted sax. Contributions from King Buzzo and Mike Patton. Released on Ipecac Records. Yeah, it sounds weird.

DL

Kylesa - Static Tensions

New Kylesa. Psychedelic/sludge with a great, fuzzed out guitar tone and two drummers. I'm halfway through listening to this for the first time and so far I love it.

DL

Ripped Off Face - We Are The State

This album is available for free and by a band named Ripped Off Face, and yet it's still well written metal and not mindless brutal death bullshit. Check it out.

DL

Battlefields

I'm seeing this band tomorrow. I listened to them for the first time today. They're pretty good. They sound like what you would expect from a band on Translation Loss (home to Mouth of the Architect, Rosetta, and Irepress).

Entourage Of The Archaic (Single)
Stained With The Blood Of An Empire

Snapcase - Designs For Automotion

More 90s hardcore, but of the upbeat, punky variety.

DL

Knut - Bastardiser

Late 90's Hydra Head release. Dark, slow to mid paced sludge/hardcore.
