Lets keep things moving along with Portal's Swarth. This is one of those bands I can't really just put on and listen to. I don't listen to them regularly but every once in awhile I feel the urge to be consumed by a swarm of buzzing riffs and obviously bees. Tons and tons of bees. Eating my brain and stuff. You know, man?
Impetuous Ritual - Relentless Execution of Ceremonial Excrescence (2009)
While we're all listening to horrifying sounds from down under and I'm posting old stuff you've already heard, let's throw on some Impetuous Ritual. Two of the dudes from Portal (Yeah, that one band that sounds like a swarm of evil bees devouring your brain) are involved in this and it really shows. Every once in awhile those bees make an appearance, which isn't really a bad thing at all. At times it even sounds like some sort of anti-cosmic elephant is trumpeting in the deep and murky pit of their sound.
This album title is impossible to spell correctly on the first try. Try it. You will fail.
Guess what guys, here's some more awesome metal from the soutern hemisphere. As stated in the previous post, there has been some pretty evil stuff coming out of there over the past few years, Cemetery Urn no exception. Operating out of Melbourne, Australia these guys refer to themselves as 'Barbaric death metal from the grave' on their official website. A pretty fitting description, really. Here are two of their albums, both of them highly enjoyable in my opinion.
This is old news, but I post old shit you've already heard all the time. I suppose it's appropriate that such sinister sounding stuff is coming out of the southern hemisphere, this particular group of evildoers hailing from New Zealand. If you find the above artwork confusing, it's the LP version which I thought was far superior to the original.
Father Befouled - Morbid Destitution of Covenant (2010)
I'M SO HUNG OVER RIGHT NOW. Time for some slow, simple, and sinister death metal. Yes, they would have you believe that misshapen brown smear says Father Befouled.
Hate-filled and occasionally dissonant sludge from New Zealand that moves at the pace of a sinister molasses, or sludge, if you will. Usually this sort of thing just makes me want to switch over to Eyehategod, but this has held my interest.
Here are some non-metal very cool albums from 2011. Maybe this isn't what you wanted from this blog. Maybe this isn't what you expected from this blog. Well nobody asked you what you want or expect, huh? This blog sucks, get over it.
This is Part Three, though. You can see Part One and Part Two here and here, respectively.
I don't really know what to say other than I usually like women singing over weird music so this is right up my alley. Maybe your alley will like this very cool album too.
What happens when you band makes a mariachi band and the mariachi version of your band blows your shitty regular band out of the water? What happens when you make a second mariachi album and it's just as good if not better than the first one?
Someone shittier and more annoying than myself might write something like, "R&B for the new generation". Along with compatriot The Weeknd, Francis Ocean is giving just a little bit of credibility back to a genre that's been completely shit on and ruined over the past 15 or 20 years.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Attend closely, dear reader, lest a tendril of another's shadow impede your view. You have stumbled into my internet basement. I have really stupid taste in music and I post whatever I want. The format of this blog is none of your business. It's really become more of a stream of conciousness type affair over the years, so you're just going to have to deal with it I'm afraid.
