Nails - Unsilent Death
I'm going to assume you've already heard this. If you haven't you need to remedy that
immediately. Six Feet Under Records describes them as "Entombed covering Napalm Death." which is fairly accurate. Merciless, shredding, grinding hardcore with an oh so bitter and blood-soaked grindcore aftertaste. Delicious.

Wormlust - Demo
Icelandic black metal. Sounds like a winning combination on paper, right? Well it is. This demo is one twelve minute track that is sure to cause you to spontaneously astral project to the frostbitten, rubble-strewn coastline of their home country. Shows a lot of promise, can't wait to hear more from these guys.

Innumerable Forms - Dark Worship
This is some seriously sinister shit, fellas. The one man death metal project of Justin Detore of Mind Eraser. No frills, no triggers, only pain and suffering. Old school and archaically recorded death metal for only the sturdiest of metal warriors. Anyone with even a mild interest in diabolical brutality, this is a
mandate from ye olde waste to listen to this. Obey. Immediately.

Bone Awl - Sunless Xyggos
So apparently Klaxon finally went under, which isn't a huge surprise as those guys ran their label like a total shitshow. This is a final tape from punkish black metal dweebs Bone Awl. Same feel as the rest of their stuff, fast and furious black metal riffs, awkwardly recorded percussion. This tape is instrumental and especially savage, the repetitive riffage pretty pummeling. Harsh shit. They even slowed it down to a lumbering stomp for the final track
What Are You Waiting For which I especially enjoyed.

Metallica - Ride The Lightning (33 RPM Vinyl Rip)
Ever wonder what the world would be like if Metallica played everything slower and heavier? Well now you can find out. This is a copy of Ride The Lightning that was ripped at 33rpm instead of 45rpm so everything is a bit slowed down. Not enough to sound distorted, just enough to make it sound totally sludgy. Good for a laugh, and some of the tracks are actually pretty solid.
Also, happy 2010. Be excellent to each other.

Gkfoes Vjgoaf (Four Albums)
Staying within the theme of posting things that aren't relevant to the usual fare on this blog, here are four albums from an artist I have absolutely no fucking idea how to pronounce. Basically, it's the project of some dude named Sean out of Berkley, California that plays spaced out, folky, psychedelic, and generally just weird music. Pretty soothing shit. Also, he only releases his material on cassette tapes.

Trash Talk Mixtape: Dream Awhile, Scheme Awhile
This is an odd one. I got this in my email today from Trash Talk's label. It's a mixtape of soul songs put together by one of the guys from the band. Strange, but I enjoyed it. Cover art is really misleading.

Black Flag - The Process Of Weeding Out
This is a strange one. If you're a casual Black Flag fan or not a fan of the band at all, you probably haven't heard of this one. It definitely breaks the Black Flag mold and shows how truly genius these guys really were. It's four tracks of really experimental, almost sludgy, punkish and almost progressive sounding stuff. It's also completely instrumental and most of the songs are over five minutes long. If you've never heard it before, check it out. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Newest effort from California based 'Cinema-Grinders' Graf Orlock. Movie sample laden grindcore. Not bad.

Darkthrone - Frostland Tapes
The Frostland Tapes, a three disc set released in 2008, was the first official release of Darkthrone's first four demos as well as a live recording from 1990. Also included is a (formerly) rare recording from the 1991 Goatlord rehearsal session. As expected, muddy ass production and some of the songs don't even have vocal tracks on them. Fucking awesome stuff though, a must for any and all so called black metal fans.

A day late on this one. See the album cover? The music is even scarier. Fucked up Korean improvised torture (read: music), an interesting listen to say the least.
