Innsmouth – Consumed by Elder Sign [Australia, Death] (2014)

Abysmal Sounds | 1-18-14

The day bands stop writing about HP Lovecraft will be the day the seas boil and the soil turns to dust. I am sure there is more of a Lovecraftian way to phrase that sentence but that is what you are getting. All manner of bands have used the 20th century horror writer as a starting point in heavy metal. While some accent their work with Lovecraft references, other are entirely consumed with madness. Welcome to Innsmouth, home of the Esoteric Oder of Dagon and the Australian death metal band of the same name.

Morgirion – None Left To Worship [US, Black] (2014)

NoVisible Scars | 1-3-14

That is totally a hand drawn cassette cover which has been photocopied. I know it. I love it. There is nothing much more to say about this cover as it fits perfectly the music inside. Morgirion is a Connecticut based black metal band who has already has a decently produced full length on 2012 called Infinite Retribution Upon Paradise. It was good. It is actually right here and for as much as you want to pay for it. None Left To Worship is a live album or live recording of four new songs. Whatever evenly paced production was present in the first record has been told to fuck off leaving water damaged wreckage with an echo of vile hatred. Imagine all of the damages.

Lvcifyre – Svn Eater [UK, Black/Death] (2014)

Dark Descent | 1-27-14

It takes Lvcifyre’s second record, Svn Eater 4 whole minutes to work up to the full tempo heard in the rest of the album. This UK band seems to be taking their time establishing themselves which is fitting as Svn Eater has been somewhat discussed and hyped since late 2013. The partial success in this anticipation rests with Dark Descent being a reliable dealer of particularly grim heavy metal. It also helps as the cover depicts a foreboding landscape of ruin and and destruction. Dark Descent has had a history aof spectacular releases including last year’s sleeping hit Temple Nightside. This year maybe the time for Lvcifyre.

Beneath the Storm – Temples of Doom [Slovenia, Funeral Doom] (2014)

Self Released | 5-17-13

Note: This record was originally self released but And is now being distributed by Dutch cassette label Breathe Plastic.

Funeral cheap nfl jerseys doom is easy to look and assess from a distance. From this distance, Slovenian one man act Beneath the Storm seems like just another doom act obsessed with turning a few riffs into ten minute songs. At its very core, Temples of Doom is just riffing into the netherworld while soundclips run on top of it. In fact, it would probably be easy to imagine a live show with one guy standing baked in dry ice while the preamp loudly blares introductions. It is difficult however to wholesale nfl jerseys express how simple Temples of Doom is yet incredibly effective.
