Orange Goblin - The Big Black (2000)


Just trying to power through the rest of this stupid week so I can go on vacation this weekend. Arguably my favorite Orange Goblin record, this is definitely helping.

Bison B.C. - Quiet Earth (2008)


I probably posted this album back when it came out. Here it is again because I recently blew the dust off it and it's still a fun record with some huge riffs. I think the album art is a good litmus test to see if you'll like the music.

EARF.

Morbus Chron - Sleepers In The Rift (2011)


THIS ALBUM MAKES ME WANT TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS. FUCK YEAH MORBUS CHRON.

CHRON.

Disma - Towards the Megalith (2011)


Late to the party on this one, at least as far as posting goes. If you like death metal and aren't a slamz loving neckbeard, this album will have you banging your head. I mean, look at that album art. Look at that logo. It speaks for itself.

DISMA.

Electric Wizard - Electric Wizard (1995)


A solid Sabbath worshiping debut that gets overlooked because everyone's boner gravitates to Dopethrone.

Dope.

Torche - In Return (2007)


Torche is one of those bands that I warmed to very, very slowly. While I really like Floor and I love the riffage that Torche brings to the table, for some reason I never really enjoyed them all that much. Until I heard this one. I can't really explain it, but if you enjoy the genre and have written them off maybe you should give this one as listen as well. It truly has the Baizley touch as it were, the mere presence of his artwork seeming to elevate most albums he gets involved with.

Note: For some reason the first song really annoys the shit out of me, so I recommend skipping it. Warship sucks and if you like it you suck. I've considered deleting it all together but my iTunes OCD would keep me up at night if I did.

Baizdawg.

The Black Angels - Phosphene Dream (2010)


It's been too nice lately to post anything too nasty, so here's some fuzzy riffs from Austin, TX's The Black Angels. A vintage sound that doesn't come across as bullshit mimicry or poorly executed worship. Their sound is deep, complex, interesting, and most importantly fuzzed the fuck out. Woo wee.

Tejas.

White Hills - Black Valleys (2011)

One thirty minute deep space voyage contained herein.

WWWWWWW.

Napalm Death - Smear Campaign (2006)


The initial screeches on this record throw me off every single time I put it on. I absolutely adore Barney's voice. I think it's one of the most burly, beefy, visceral vocal deliveries in aggressive music. But those first squeaky screechy sounds, fuck do they put me off. After the first bar or two he's back to his usual awesomeness though, so don't worry dudes (I know you were worrying about it). What makes Barney so awesome is even when he just goes "Oooo!" or "Guhhhh!" it sounds so fucking brutal it makes my vertebrae rattle. And I don't mean brutal in a breakdowns and flatbill caps kind of way. I mean pulling your intestines out of your mouth and shoving them back up your asshole kind of way. Sure this album came out in 2006. Sure you pretend to love Scum. Who cares. I sure as fuck don't.

ASSHOLE.

Spazz - Crush, Kill, Destroy (1999)


Remember when we were young and we fed our ADD (This was before ADHD was invented) by listening to blistering 20 second songs and we all had street names like Death Snake, Big Dan, Hellfire, Lil' Smurf, Twin, Nacho, Viper, Mad Dawg, Clown, Loco, or Baby Chico?

LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black Flag - In My Head (1985)


My brain is in such a weirdo impenetrable fog right now. This about sums it up. I'm out cold, and I'm never comin' to.


nnnnn

Melvins - The Maggot (1999)


Hey dudes. This Melvins album is really heavy.

Heavy.

Hooded Menace x Ilsa Split (2011)


It took me so fucking long to find this. So very, very fucking long. Such a pain in the ass I thought I'd go ahead and post it. This is not my rip and there's a little bit of analog grain present, but nothing that distracts from the riffing.

CRUSHES.

Cannabis Corpse - Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise (2011)


Hail the leaf.

Decapitated - Carnival Is Forever (2011)


Not really sure how I feel about this yet. Figure it out for yourself.
Get it while it's hot. Or at least lukewarm.

Worst album title.
