Hey, so if you all didn't know I have a side project called Dread Maw. It's mostly improvised, very dissonant and unpleasant to listen to, and literally as lofi as I could get. If that sounds like your thing, check out this split I did with synth project Hexenkots (her stuff is just as bonkers and I love it)

Bull Of Apis Bull Of Bronze – The Fractal Ouroboros (2023)
James looks at The Fractal Ouroboros, the long awaited second album from Colorado experimental RABM act Bull Of Apis Bull Of Bronze, released December 21st on Fiadh Productions and Vita Detestabilis Records.
Colorado based RABM masters Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze have given us an album with a shocking amount of both ritualistic atmosphere and punishing dissonance. The release not only lives up to the legacy of the band’s debut but breaks completely new ground, not just for the band but for the genre as a whole. Their furious rallying cry to dismantle oppressive systems is captured fully, but also imbued with an unsettling essence of dark mysticism. In short if you want an album that will get you tear down society in its current form but also leave you feeling somewhat haunted, then this is the release for you.

Februárová albumová smršť (2024)
Ako inak, na začiatku marca treba zrekapitulovať február. Najkratší mesiac sa blysol veľmi dobrou produkciou. Album mesiaca sa dosť pravdepodobne umiestni dokonca asi aj v konečnom rebríčku, ale k tomu je ešte ďaleko.
Tu je top 5 albumov druhého mesiaca v roku, v poradí od najlepšieho po menej najlepšieho.
Chapel of Disease - Echoes of Light
Chapel of Disease dostali aj samostatnú recenziu tak si ju bežte prečítať. Je to zaujímavý a pohodový mix death metalu a hard rocku, ktorý je ako stvorený na tieto otrasné, sychravé dni. Jedinečný zvuk s chytľavými riffmi a zapametovaľnými pesničkami. [bandcamp]
Hecatoncheir - Nightmare Utopia
Slovenské prekvapenie. Z ničoho nič sa objavil príspevok u Total Dissonance Worship, že na prestupný deň vydajú prvý album slovenskej dissodeath skupiny. Temná a ťažká atmosféra, pomalé riffy, ktoré si valcujú cestu k vrcholu, skvele naskladané skladby. To všetko hneď na premiérovom albume. [bandcamp]
Ponte del Diavolo - Fire Blades From the Tomb
Názov ako z talianskej reštiky na sídlisku, ale nejde o pizzu. Talianska black/doom kapela s tak trochu underground nádychom, ženským vokálom a dvoma basami. Netradične poňatý doom metal s troškou black metalu a nezávislej hudby. Každá skladba je úplne iná a predsa len všetky zapadajú do seba ako puzzle. [bandcamp]
Borknagar - Fall
Nórske legendy viking/black/folk/progresívneho metalu (vyberte si čo vám vyhovuje, ostatné prečiarknite) vydali už v poradí dvanásty album a kvalitou určite nezaostáva. Borknagar zprogresívneli, ale nazabudli na to, že hlavne hrajú kvalitný severský metal, ktorý má svoje črty a tie si zachovali. [bandcamp]
Triste - Scapegoats
Nemeckí doom/death priaznivci Bolt Thrower. Triste je celkom určite pocta britským legendám a je to počuť aj na zvuku no nie je to len úbohá kópia. Scapegoats je dobre rozdelený album, nenudí ani sekundu, doom je v ich deathe počuť tak akurát a celý čas si zachovávajú svoj vlastný zvuk. [bandcamp]
Ostatné albumy hodné počutia (bez poradia)
Tombstalker - Human Skull Crush | Death Metal [bc]
Atoll - Inhuman Implants | Brutal Death Metal [bc]
They Came From Visions - The Twilight Robes | Folk/Black Metal [bc]
Vircolac - Veneration | Death Metal [bc]
Griffon - De republica | Melodic Black Metal [bc]
Ihsahn - Ihsahn | Extreme Prog Metal
Petrification - Sever Sacred Light | Death Metal [bc]
Spectral Voice - Sparagmos | Death Doom Metal [bc]
Theophonos - Ashes in the Huron River | Black Metal [bc]
Ogrish Demeanor - Primal, Violent and Dehumanizing | Black/Death Metal [bc]
meth. - SHAME | Sludge/Noise [bc]
