Nominon - Monumentomb

Fuzz drenched guitars churning through decaying bodies like massive rusted meat-grinders, tight-as-fuck drums jackhammering their way through your skull and ghoulish growls calling out from behind this sonic fortress of death and destruction. There's no better way to describe Nominon's 'Monumentomb'. If you're looking for a little bit of everything in your death metal then this definitely it. You have the cleanliness of newer productions mixed with old-school atmospheric charm, Morbid Angel-worshipping riffage with the occasional nod to Demigod and Incantation. It's not primal and it's not filthy but god damn is it good fucking death.

This for all of you SCREAMING FOR DEATH

For Fans Of: Morbid Angel, Demigod, Revolting and Interment

Impetuous Ritual - Relentless Execution of Ceremonial Excrescence

Have you ever wished to taste the forbidden knowledge that lies outside of existence? Have you ever wanted to drift weightlessly through hellish holes of blackness and screaming sine waves? Impetuous Ritual offers you all of that and more. Relentless Execution of Ceremonial Excrescence molds the deafening roar of the likes of Portal with the blasphemous cantrips of Incantation, Disembowelment and Immolation. The arcane atmosphere dissolves into pure chaos as the guitars create a cacophonous din of pure otherworldly animosity. There is no other emotion here, there is only terror. The wild fjords of space give way to blasting drums and horrific vocals that conjure nameless things from the walls of eldritch sound slithering forth from your speakers. Pure evil.

BOW DOWN

For Fans Of: Portal, Profanatica, Incantation, Encoffination, Ulcerate and Gigan

Lake - Let's Build A Roof

Any of you that know me moderately well (or even very little) should know that I'm a big Adventure Time geek. Well after having the song from the credits stuck in my head for what seems like forever I finally got the gumption to go out in search of the soothing sounds that accompany the end of my favorite cartoon (that's right cartoon, suck a fat one if you think that ain't metal). Well I finally came across Lake and their album Let's Build a Roof and while I'm never big on the indie sound this album is awesome. You have beautiful guitar parts that seem to build up a dreamy atmosphere while the gorgeous female vocals shimmer through choruses and ethereal keyboard passages. If you need some good chill music then I guarantee you'll find everything in order here.

Masakari - The Prophet Feeds

Sadly every genre is prone to compromise, as of late crust has been home to some posers that would rather play poor on the weekends and only make sacrifices when its convenient for their image. Well Masakari have emerged as another reminder that as long as there are corrupt people in power, there will be people so fed up and pissed that they have to take it out on the world with disgusting music. The Prophet Feeds weaves a ghastly, crush-a-tonic monstrosity fraught with heavy atmosphere, devastating riffs, ghostly leads, d-beat drums and hectic pacing. If you're looking for something to get your blood pumping then this is definitely something to check out.

Fister - Bronsonic

Charles Bronson is a bad mother fucker, and now he's overthrown Satan himself to bring you some bong-ripping doom laden with blackened atmospherics and EyeHateGod worship. Bronsonic is a good example of a new band putting their best foot forward into the crowded fray of modern sludge bands. The more and more that form, the more convoluted and bastardized the genre becomes. Luckily Fister are here to kick everyone's ass back into gear. Imagine if you will a healthy mixture of Dopethrone, Take As Needed For Pain and Suma's Let The Churches Burn; this shit rips. Fister blurs the line between sludge and doom with big riffs and nasty-as-fuck gnarly noisework. If you're looking for something to spark up to or maybe just need a good bit of music to put on at your next black mass, then this is it.

HAIL SATAN! HAIL FISTER!

The United Sons of Toil - When The Revolution Comes, Everything Will Be Beautiful

The United Sons of Toil are working class noise rock from the protest ravaged state of Wisconsin. As they put it their music embodies "The front-line of class warfare and the battle for workers' rights". This is music born of revolution and rebellion; violating the sanctity of Old Money and "play-it-safe" rock music. This is what it's about. That howlin', rioutous tumult of power chords and earth-movin' rhythm. This is politically charged, pissed off and drenched to the bone with piss and vinegar. 'When The Revolution Comes, Everything Will Be Beautiful' is a testament to small bands making big noise and doing it right.

The album is now available for dirt cheap in all forms (Digital Download {$4} and CD {$8} available now, Limited Edition Colored Vinyl {$10} available April 2011).

Get out there and buy their shit or I will personally come to your house in my overalls and dance a jig on your face.

Lightning Swords of Death - The Golden Plague

Lightning Swords of Death has managed to capture all of the raw aspects of extreme metal and blend it into an unstoppable char-black alloy. The riffs blaze and burn, the vocals shriek and wail, the drums pound out their war-bringing fury all while the atmospheric production of this offering adds a chilling darkness. If you like blackened death with lots of thrash and doom elements then this is going to tear your skull apart.
