Metal Roundup Week of 8/11
Here’s some of our favorite underground metal releases from this week!
WORLDTORN: Anemoia by Claret Ash
WORLDTORN: Anemoia by Claret Ash uses just the right degree of lo-fi grit to enhance their atmospheric black metal sound. Refusing to melt their sound into an indiscriminate mush the way some “atmospheric” bands would, Claret Ash retains a tightness that keeps this record engaging.
The Weight of Sleep by Cunabula
I know you’ve all been itching for the next brutally heavy, sludgy post-metal release from Lithuania, and this week Cunabula has you covered. Their new record The Weight of Sleep incorporates everything from progressive rhythms to dream pop vocals, revealing their own distinct identity in the process.
Self Induced Transcendental Annihilation by Silverburn
If neck-breaking technical mathcore is more your speed, look no further than Silverburn’s new record Self Induced Transcendental Annihilation. Every few seconds, this record whips around a musical corner to reveal an unexpected yet fully justified new section with a distinct time signature and riff.
Festering Unfaltering Hatred by Trepidation
Festering Unfaltering Hatred by Trepidation oscillates between a grimy punk sound and a more distinctly metallic doomy sound all encased in tasteful lo-fi production. This band seems absolutely determined to have the wildest possible mosh pits at their shows.
