Sleep - Dopesmoker (Remaster)


Proceeds the weedian.
Nazareth.

Satan's Satyrs - Wild Beyond Belief (2012)


All style and no substance. The shit-on-purpose production style holds this record back in my opinion. That and the fact that some of the songs are probably twice as long as they should be. All that said, a fun rockin' punked out death romp that's enjoyable at least one time through.

Wild.

Quick question, what do you guys think of this song?

Snail - Terminus (2012)


Guess what, you miserable cretins? Snail has a new album and boy howdy what a new one it is. It's good. It's very cool. It's Snail. They are from Seattle. It's called Terminus. It's a melodic, enjoyable doomy metaly album that still wields a mighty riff with authority. While I'll admit the last couple tracks are a kinda snoozers until Terminus takes it up a notch to end it, the album as a whole is a good time.

Next guess: Guess what you have to do to get this album? Go to their bandcamp page and pay them $0.00 like a total piece of shit. Deal with it. Or give them your money.

Heavy Voodoo - Messiah (2012?)




Here is some cool stoner/doom/whathaveyou from Portland, OR. Very cool riffs, album art that reminds me Orange Goblin if they were even more into weed than they already are, which is never a bad thing. You can get their three song EP/demo from their bandcamp page for absolutely free, or you can pay them for it. Choose your own destiny. Normally I would say something about how I don't really like Portland all that much, but I won't because I'm lazy and don't feel like putting together any original thoughts right now.

This blog will probably die soon, though something more interesting and worthwhile will hopefully erupt screaming from its corpse soon enough.

Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction (2012)


SPOILER ALERT LEGEND IS STILL THEIR BEST SONG.

Vulgaari - Vulgaari (2012)


I don't know anything about this band at all aside from the fact that they are from Minneapolis, Minnesota and play an unreasonably heavy and slightly spaced out brand of music you could make up all sorts of stupid names for. Funeral Sludge? Funeral sludge. Guys lets all listen to some Funeral Sludge. They tagged themselves as "biker metal death metal doom metal metal sludge metal stoner metal Minneapolis" if that helps. You can hear their entire album for FUCKING FREE RIGHT NOW ON THE INTERNET RIGHT HERE HOLY SHIT. You can also download it for free from there, or you can just click the link here.

Link here.

Orange Goblin - Red Tide Rising (2012)


I like this band, and this album isn't bad at all but their butt rock levels are at an all time high which will definitely kill some interest. Unless you like butt rock. Rock on butt rockers.

Butt.

Integrity - Integrity 2000 (1999)


So many people that love Integrity hate this album. Why? WHY? It's so heavy I can only barely handle it. It crushes my brain and makes all my organs explode out of a cavity in my body of their own devising. This record is merely a gauntlet of irresponsibly heavy riffage that you will not survive.

YOU WILL DIE IF YOU LISTEN TO THIS RECORD.

Witchden - Consulting The Bones (2012)


Any band that labels themselves as doom blues is bound to get my attention for at least a brief moment. A visceral feel and tortured vocals definitely bring Eyehategod to mind, but that's hardly a bad thing. Witchden doesn't make my guts hurt like Eyehategod does, though. Blues heavy riffs that tend to plod along at a hypnotic pace make me feel more inclined to nod along rather than barf on my own shirt or whatever people do at Eyehategod shows. I've been to one, I don't know.

Bones.

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.

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.

Neurosis - Souls At Zero (1992)


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

Zero.

Ghost - Opus Eponymous (2010)


I've been listening to really shitty music lately, so I'll just post this instead for those that have somehow missed it. Evil Lucifer loving music from Sweden.

Human Sacrifice.

Buzzov*en - At A Loss (1998)


Don't bring me down.

At A Loss.

Orange Goblin / Electric Wizard Split (1997) (EP)


Concluding the Orange Goblin posting spree we have the split they did with Electric Wizard. The first track, Electric Wizard's seventeen minute Chrono.Naut, is a two-parter kicking things off with some serious business riffing before sliding gently into its spacey conclusion. Orange Goblin follows with two tracks, the first being Nuclear Guru (a mediocre track I don't have feelings for either way), the second being a cover of Black Sabbath's Hand of Doom that's actually pretty awesome. Not a must-have release by any stretch, but still a solid listen.

WHAT U GONNA DO?

Orange Goblin - Time Travelling Blues (1998)


Actually, I think this one has usurped Planet Ten as my second favorite Orange Goblin record, so I retract my previous statement. Plus this one starts with a motorcycle revving. SICK.

Two L's.

Orange Goblin - Frequencies From Planet Ten (1997)


Here's another one (my second favorite), if you liked the previously posted record. I'm not going to bother describing this album or this band because I'm tired and I'm lazy and I'm angry.

Second best.
