Turris Eburnea - Turris Eburnea [EP] (2021)

 



This set was recorded primarily during the first quarantine period, when we all were locked in our homes, hotels, and hospitals, completely unaware of the feastering shitstrom we were all about to experience. This EP is short romp through existential dread, longing, and utter fucking confusion. It's a great distraction from life. Each track flows tragically into the next, seamlessly, sometimes like the early days of this pandemic.

Mass Worship - Portal Tombs (2022)

 



These dudes have managed to craft a densely layered, suffocating sound that fills me with absolute dread with every spin. They've also mastered the the quiet to loud dynamic on this album, pulling me in with beautiful acoustic passages, and then punching me right in the ears with the heaviest of riffage.

Persefone - Metanoia (2022)


I've been seeing this monolithic concept on so many records the last 3+ years, and for some reason I am drawn to them. This means something. The record flows really well, keeping my attention completely for the entire duration. The band melds and manages to balance a unique mixture of genres, resulting in large sounding tracks, that are sometimes so big they have their own atmosphere. This record is definitely not for everyone. I am speaking mostly to the elitist pigs that shit themselves at the first sign of clean signing. This isn't for you. As for the rest of us normal folk, this record is pretty damn great and deserves a wider audience. The album is relatively cheap as well, so grab a copy of you like it.
