Forest Dweller - Demo

Forest Dweller is creepy and rotten noise which has a black metal feel to it. Well, take a look at that pic and you have to say that the guy at least digs his black metal. I guess you could call it black noise, but to me its more like noise with a black metal aesthetic apart from the last two tracks where some vocals and an actual riff are introduced. Real evil.

Sons of Fenris

Raw anti-cosmic black metal from France. What the shit is anti-cosmic?! I'm not too sure, I think it is some form of satanism, but anyway this sounds pretty awesome so fuck the cosmos.

Cult of Youth - S/T (2011)

One of my most anticipated releases of the year. Here is some Death in June influenced neo-folk from New York City (of all places). I've loved everything they have released up until now but this is even better and a very early contenteder for album of the year for me, even after just one listen. An amazing masterpiece and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Thirteen Bats - Dust (2010)

Thirteen Bats (now known as Bat Nouveau which is a better name imo) are a deathrock/gothic rock band from Brisbane, Australia. Everything that is great about gothic music can be heard here - the melodrama as well as the dark and brooding sound. The band takes influence from (obviously) Christian Death and post-punk like Joy Division.

Black Vomit & Rape Rack - Scumfuck / Ambient Shit Storm

Black Vomit are a truly bizarre beast, mixing a buckletload of completely different styles to form a fucked up and weird listening experience. I can't really describe whats going on with them, they are a total clusterfuck of noise and insanity - theres blastbeats, fuzzy black metal, electronics, sound effects...you just have to hear this one for yourself. Really one of the strangest sounds I've ever heard.
Rape Rack are not nearly as straight-out weird as Black Vomit, although something about them sounds very alien and sinister. 3 tracks of trippy, haunting and droning ambient black metal, which at times gets quite noisy. If you listen on the last track you can hear some ritual chanting behind the noise which adds to the creepy sound. They finish off with a Von cover.
Really interesting stuff, give it a listen if you are looking for something very different.

Bluetile Lounge - Lowercase

Man, I fucking love Codeine (the band) and I instantly loved Bluetile Lounge for the same reasons that I love Codeine. This is music for sitting in your room and crying because all you have in your pathetic life is listening to music, watching porn, masturbating and writing on a stupid fucking blog about how Codeine is the greatest band ever. Ummmm. Anyway, Bluetile Lounge were a 90s slowcore band (how'd you guess?) from Perth, Australia. I never thought a good slowcore band would have come from my home country but this excellent, obscure little gem has thankfully proven me wrong.

Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa (2011)

I don't care what you say, Moonsorrow own and are one of the few bands I like within the generally shitty and cheesy folk metal/viking metal genre. Here you've got more of the same 10+ minute epics, full of fist (or sword if you've got one) raising power. Nowhere near as good as their masterpiece Verisäkeet, but still great. Onwards to Vahalla brothers.

Got a complaint so Link removed. Sorry dudes.

Ensorcelor - Unarctica Begins

Heavy as fuck riffs - check. Evil, piercing and raspy vocals - check. Lovecraft inspired lyrics - check. Incredible sludgy goodness from Canada. This is such wonderfully crafted album, you can hear acoustic interludes that are interspersed beautifully with desperate, gut-wrenching screams that then flow into heavy, riff-oriented sludge with hints of black metal (both in asethetic and sound). The last track in particular is a stand-out, fucking epic. For fans of Cough's first album and Thou.

Mueran Humanos - S/T (2010)


Very cool electronic music with Spanish lyrics. This Argentinian (although now residing in Germany) duo offer up a very interesting and enjoyable mix of styles on this debut album. Electronic, post-punk, experimental and gothic styles are all represented, amongst others. Dark, catchy and danceable.

Esbbat


You know when you see some mean motherfuckers that look like this that they are either NS fuckers or the real deal.

Lovac - Apes of a Cold God

Lovac is a Swedish band playing industrial tinged neo-folk. That description probably doesn't do them justice though, as there are so many different sounds and influences going on to make it nice and interesting. Apes of a Cold God is Lovac's debut release, although they have released music under the Down in June label, where they played Death in June covers. Highly recommended!

Rhinocervs - Untitled 1

4 untitled tracks from an untitled and unknown band. I believe the people behind it want to remain anonymous because they want the music to speak above mentions of who/ex-members of whatever band is in them and all that kind of shit, which I really like. As it says on their last.fm page regarding the Rhinocervs label: 'The label prioritizes art over artist - not the cult of personality attached". This is the first Untitled tape released, there is also another which is also quite good.

Martyrvore - Split with Witch Tomb & Possessed By Mayhemic Slaughter

Witch Tomb Split
Possessed By Mayhemic Slaughter

Corpsessed - Altar of Worms (track)

Not an album this time, just a single track but its a good one. Some dark death metal for ya right here, this track slays and the EP is one of my most anticipated releases at the moment. Featuring a member from the ungodly Wormphlegm, who create a similar cavernous atmosphere through crushingly heavy funeral doom, Corpsessed definitely take their cues from the Incantation, Immolation and early Swedish cult school of death metal. There are some different tracks on their myspace which are also very impressive. One to look out for.

Morbid - December Moon

Arrgh alright!! This is still one of the best metal demos ever recorded! Sickening raw death metal that is still unctouchable to this day. To me, Morbid were and always will be better than Mayhem, and its sad that a lot of people just see this as a pre-Mayhem kind of band because tbh they fucking own Mayhem. Hopefully you all got the recent 12" together with the Slayer #20 (yes the infamous Slayer magazine of the 90s underground extreme metal scene!) put out by NWN - brilliant stuff.

Devil Doll - The Girl Who Was...Death

Listening to Devil Doll is like watching an old silent horror movie. It evokes the exact same feeling and is some of the most cinematic music I've ever heard. Devil Doll could be loosely labelled as prog rock, but in my opinion Mr. Doctor (the brilliant mind behind this project) is an artist that defies genres and labels. The Girl Who Was...Death is a masterpiece, as is his other works. This rip is split up into 8 tracks, which I like better. Most that you find around will just have the 1 long track.

Lydia Lunch - Queen of Siam


I like Lydia Lunch because she is interesting and says what she thinks. Shes not afraid of being honest, obnoxious, rude or controversial. I may not agree always with everything she says, but I respect her because of that honesty and the fact that she has a personality. Oh yeah, Queen of Siam is a really good album too, the track Lady Scarface is my favourite. Its hard to describe the style of this album - kind of jazzy, lounge-y, grungey, post-punky, experimental with an undercurrent of dark sexuality. If anything I could liken it to some of Tom Waits' material, but its still even pretty far from that. Lunch's lyrical styling and delivery is cool, sexy, laid-back and sincere while seeping with don't-give-a-fuck. A truly unique artist.

Amazing norwegian old school death metal which has the spirit of all of the great bands from the 90s. I can hear influences from several different bands within the genre too - there are doomy sections, gruesome vocals and some really badass shredding. No doubt one of the best death metal albums of the past few years! Awesome live band too!
