Omega - The Hell Patrol (2013)

 

Genre: Blackened Thrash/Speed Metal

Country: Greece

The Hell Patrol is a venomous mix of blackened thrash metal and more traditional, strongly punk-influenced speed metal (ala Motorhead) that will make you want to drink a lot of whiskey and drive at 200 mph on a motorcycle into the bowels of the deepest, darkest dungeons of the seventh circle of hell. I'll also add that the solos on this album rip faces. Fans of Darkthrone's newer material, Evil Army and other such artists should pick this one up as soon as possible.

A Double Shot Of Hate

Genre: Death Metal
Country: United States

In the mood for a hate-mongering riff spectacle? Well look no further folks, because Arghoslent is here. Nobody in the melodic death metal scene (and potentially the death metal scene overall) are capable of being so fluid in their delivery of both intolerance and sweet, sweet riffage. Their LPs are easy to find around the net, but today we're here with their less-posted first four demos The Entity, Bastard Son Of One Thousand Whores, The Imperial Clans, and the excellent Arsenal Of Glory. This will show you Arghoslent's more simplistic (some may say raw) beginnings all the way up to Arsenal Of Glory, which set the stage for their first LP Galloping Through The Battle Ruins.




First Three Demos




Arsenal Of Glory

Prosanctus Inferi - Noctambulous Jaws Within Sempiternal Night (2013)

Genre: Black/Death Metal
Country: USA

Thank you based Paolo for giving us more fucking amazing artwork.  Seriously this guy is the Dan Seagrave of our generation, even though some of his artwork is on shitty band's albums (who cares when you get paid right?).  Yeah this might rule, idk i haven't actually heard it, but Red Streams of Flesh was pretty cool so i hope so.  Hopefully it isn't like all those Dark Descent stinkers lately (NWN did release that fucking awful Zemial album so you never know).  I'm mainly uploading it cause i like the artwork.

thank you base paolo

Mortal Agony - The Cradle (1994)

Genre: Death Metal
Country: Finland

It's a dirty, unpleasant (in the good way) and grimy Finnish death metal demo from 1994, you know what to do...

Ataraxie - L'Être et la Nausée (2013)

Genre: Doom/Death Metal
Country: France

Five years after the mediocre Anhédonie, the masters who crafted Slow Transcending Agony revitalize themselves with an 80-minute romp of doom laced with a hint of death metal. I was unaware of this album's recent release, so it is a very pleasant surprise to add some excellent - superb, even - doom metal to this year's catalogue.

Torture Chain - Mutilating Astral Entities (2013)

Genre: Black Metal
Country: USA

Holy shit, there's a new Torture Chain and i didn't even fucking know.  Now i feel like an asshole.  Not that that's any different from usual i guess, but yeah this shit probably rules get it now.

i hope theres a negative approach cover again

Symptom - Opulent Atrocity (2013)

Genre: Death/Doom Metal

Country: United States

Fucking awesome, crushing death/doom from Portland, Oregon's thriving underground metal scene. Take one look at the album cover, it pretty much describes what this band will sound like. Devastating, vile riffage with a monstrous lower end and cavernous, Incantation/Incrust-esque vocals (with occasional haunting keyboard work crooning overtop) dominate the sound with a nasty production job that basically encapsulates the sound as perfectly (or imperfectly if you prefer) as you could possibly imagine. Highly, very highly recommended, this is going to be well up there on my end of the year list.

oh my satan fucking get this now
