This is Part Two. You can see Part One here at your leisure.

40 Watt Sun - The Empty Room


This album is a depressing fog of 'doom' that will wash over you and bum you out. Definitely not doom in any sort of the classical sense. More like buttrock slowed down and fuzzed out. Either way, Very Cool.

Necros Christos - Doom of the Occult


More 'doom', this time blacky-deathy with lots of weird nerd shit in between the songs. A supremely sinister and Very Cool aural assault. That link is even 320 kbps so you can hear all the nerd shit extra good.

Blessed Offal - Blessed Offal


This EP was horribly overlooked this year. While it isn't groundbreaking (not that anything I listen to ever is) it definitely deserves quite a bit more attention than it's gotten. Basically what I'm trying to say is Blessed Offal put out some Very Cool doom-laden death this year.

Yob - Alta


Yob released an album this year, so as one would expect here it is. On a list at the end of it. Very cool.

Death Breath - Stinking Up The Night (2006)


Why do Black Breath and Death Breath have such similar names AND sounds? If you name your band after some sort of breath will it also sound like this? These are just some of life's unfathomable mysteries, so stop trying to fathom them and just enjoy these greasy riffs.

Greasy.

BONUS CONTENT: Let It Stink (2007) (EP)

Firstly, I hate making numbered lists. It's impossible for me. I just don't have the time or even the desire to construct anything like that for you retards. Instead, here are some cool albums that happened to be released in 2011 posted in a completely arbitrary order. Literally the same order I thought of them in. There are plenty of top lists out there provided by other people and places, if you absolutely NEED a definitive pecking order, try checking out THIS ONE or THIS ONE, both posts from blogs that I PERSONALLY READ ALL BY MYSELF ON MY VERY OWN COMPUTER that post about COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

Immolation - Providence


This EP is very cool, even though Scion is associated. I don't really know what else to write about it. It sounds like Immolation and that's all I ask of them.

Autopsy - Eternal Macabre


Dude I love it when an oldschool band comes out with a new album and it's REAL GOOD. This album is almost as very cool as the artwork is.

Crowbar - Sever The Wicked Hand


This album is very cool if you already liked Crowbar. If you didn't it probably didn't convert you. It's very cool because I still remembered it even though it came out in like... February.

Disma - Toward The Megalith


This album is very cool, but you already knew it that because it's literally on every top list that matters. Also, this is a definite contender for most Very Cool artwork of the year.

Corpsessed - The Dagger & The Chalice


This is definitely one of my favorite Very Cool death metal albums of the year. If you don't have it already you're slippin' so hard you already fell on your stupid ass. Idiot.

Rotten Sound - Cursed


Rotten Sound is the only grindcore band I've posted so far. Very Cool.



This is all the blog post posting I have patience for at the moment. I'll try to enlighten you further in the next installment of VERY COOL ALBUMS THAT CAME OUT IN 2011.

The Black Keys - The Big Come Up (2002)


Their new album had me thinking about when they played the blues and I liked them. Now they mostly just play indie rock and I tolerate them. I feel like their sound is a bit thin on this album but I still enjoy it quite a bit. I can only imagine what this album would sound like with some thick ass bass on it.

Blues.

Midnight - Satanic Royalty (2011)


Blackened and crusty heavy metal for fans of Hellhammer, Motorhead, Venom, etc.

666.

Black Breath - Heavy Breathing (2010)


Black Breath - Razor to Oblivion (2008)


Saw these guys live for the first time last night. AwEsOmE.

Immolation - Dawn of Possession (1991)


Phonin' it in ya'll.

Still a great album though.

Dystopia - The Aftermath (1999)


Black friday inspired post.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

John Lee Hooker - Don't Look Back (1997)


This album was a collaboration between John Lee Hooker and Van Morrison. Despite it being a little bit more laid back than I tend to take my blues, it won a Grammy in the Best Traditional Blues category in 1998. This is the perfect companion for your holiday travels. Drive safely, folks.

Boom Boom.

BONUS CONTENT: THE VERY BEST OF JOHN LEE HOOKER.

Uncle Acid and The Dead Beats - Blood Lust (2011)




Blood Lust.

Bedheaded - Ominous Bloodline (2005)


First things first, I found out about this album via Illogical Contraption, and if you don't frequent that ridiculous cesspool you probably should. Anyway, I'm really picky about my brutal death metal. I won't just sit here and listen to any ol' slam (Attn Japanese wiggers: This is not a slam album), but this album appeals to me for some weird reason despite horrible clickety clackity of the drums. Really the only reason I even listened to it was because they didn't go with a shitty name they picked out of an anatomy textbook. Despite this less than glowing review, this record has had my speakers going hammer on the way to and from work for the past week or so.

Bammer bammer bammer.

Hate Eternal - Phoenix From The Ashes (2011)


This one will definitely be on any sort of "annual top list" that ends up getting posted around here. Furious and unforgiving.

Side note: I really dislike Hate Eternal's choices in album artwork almost every time.

Rutan.

**EDIT: LINK FIXED**

Funerus - Reduced To Sludge (2011)


John McEntee Rules

Cattle Decapitation - To Serve Man (2002)


This is one of the first, if not the actual first, death metal albums I ever heard. Travis Ryan's vocals are still a biological marvel to me and the amount of times I have seen that man intentionally vomit makes my head spin.

Vegetarians.

Neurosis - Souls At Zero (1992)


The turning point.
EDIT: I THINK I JUST HEARD A SAXOPHONE ON 'STERILE VISION'.

Zero.
