Metal Roundup Week of 5/31
What a grimy week, with some grimy metal to match!
Solitude with the Eternal… by Adversarial
Pulling influence from thrash metal, black metal, death metal, and doom metal, Solitude with the Eternal… by Adversarial demonstrates a willingness to achieve heaviness by any means necessary. From growling vocals to angular riffs to relentless drumming, every element serves the greater goal of pure catharsis.
Whereunto the Twilight Leads by Lament in Winter’s Night
If you prefer your black metal anthemic with a side of lo-fi grime, you’ll love Whereunto the Twilight Leads by Lament in Winter’s Night. Strong melodies drive the guitar work here, while distant, screeching vocals and crunchy production keep this album firmly within black metal tradition.
Total Doom by SXAP
Blackened death has seen a lot of success as a genre recently, and Total Doom by SXAP continues that trend. Menacing, tremolo guitar parts follow melodic patterns from death metal, a deeply heavy sound which is given room to breathe with some slower, more ambient sections.
What is DEATH? by Unholy Orpheus
At the convergence point between death metal aggression and progressive metal flamboyance lies What Is DEATH? by Unholy Orpheus, a blistering, memorable, even catchy album with diverse instrumentation and aesthetics.
