BASTARD NOISE - A CULTURE OF MONSTERS: DOWNLOAD

WOOD .
NELSON.
CONNELL.
'NUF SAID.

That sold it for me. Seeing them live sealed the deal. Back to the classic Man is the Bastard sound with a classic Man is the Bastard lineup. So gnarly!!!

Wood's description:

A paramount product of composition, sonic-rendering and package, this second volume of BASS/PERCUSSION/ELECTRONICS structured work realizes the full, true power of “THE SKULL” as a critical force in contemporary musical expression. Here “spun-steel-girder” virtuoso ERIC WOOD and Trogotronic “electronic-ace” W T NELSON are joined by original MAN IS THE BASTARD master-drummer JOEL CONNELL for what could become the most interesting T.B.N combination to date following the departure of DANNY WALKER (INTRONAUT/PHOBIA/MURDER CONSTRUCT) and his unmatched performance in the previous line-up.
“A CULTURE OF MONSTERS” revives the depiction of “odyssey” via music and challenges the imagination in unprecedented manner. Arrangements for “A.C.O.M.” span a wide range of unrelenting, progressive and atmospheric expression without compromising potency or dynamic color.
True to the “skull-tradition” of collaboration T.B.N. enlisted the efforts of many “trusted-skulls” to complete this endeavor, most noteworthy project guests: NATHAN MARTIN (CREATION IS CRUCIFIXTION) who performs the spoken-word title manifesto & MIKE REYNOLDS (LACK OF INTEREST) who deployed his own particular brand of mighty vocal havoc on a key track. Producer MICHAEL ROZON (“ROGUE ASTRONAUT” / “THE RED LIST”) “serves the skull” anew, commanding his lethal battery of audio artillery to deliver this intricate and devastating assembly.

VASAELETH - CRYPT BORN AND TETHERED TO RUIN: DOWNLOAD

Take every fucking cliche description of the most brutal death metal band you've ever heard toss em in a pan and stir fry that shit and that's how I'd describe this album. PURE RAW BRUTALITY so god damn heavy so nuts man!! No weird tech prog metal bullshit (although that stuff is cool sometimes too) - this is just straight up SLAMMIN. When my mom used to pick my friends and I up after high school I'd always put on some tape I knew she'd hate just to fuck with her. Back then it was often Assuck - Misery Index or some Phobia tape or something, but if I was still getting picked up by mom in 2010 it would for sure be this album. The first time I listened to this my roommates were home so I had my volume sort of low and I couldn't really make out much of what was going on. Listened to it a second time when I was home alone and could be as loud as I want and it was like WHOA THIS SHIT RULES.

I don't really know too much about the band, just know this came out in 2010 and it's only two dudes. They're from like Texas or Georgia or something according to the internet but I don't really know. I just know this shit bangs hard. And look at that cover art!! What the hell is that!!! It's like this weird glow in the dark raver spider satanic death thing, is that writing at the bottom? What language is that? I have no idea what the hell is going on I just know it rules, which kind of sums up how I feel about this whole album.
From another review: "Pretty much the darkest and most evil sounding death metal band to recently surface, Vasaeleth are about as non-technical, non-produced and non-easy listening as it gets within the genre of death metal. "

PERVERSOR - CULT OF DESTRUCTION: DOWNLOAD

This band fucking rips, they're from Chile. Chile has a lot of cool and weird shit so I guess it makes sense. They got Easter Island (!!) and glaciers and that weird Nazi dude Paul Schaefer that fled to Chile and started Colonia Dignidad which was that cult where he molested and tortured all the kids. Josef Mengele aka THE ANGEL OF DEATH hung out there for a bit and did all sorts of fucked up stuff. Chile is kind of crazy!

Anyways, I just recently heard this band for my first time, this album came out in December 08 though. Super fast like full speed ahead blazing shit kinda like Absu's Barathrum album but more punishing and less cheesy but still totally satanic and dark, you won't get bored with it if that's what you're afraid of. "Perversor offers a deadly combination of true black metal while maintaining a foothold in the sounds of Satanic deaththrash that will evoke the primal instincts of all who have the guts to listen." - How cool does that sound?
