Shallow North Dakota - Mob Wheel


Really underrated sludge/doom metal band from Ontario, Canada. Definitely worth your time to give it a download and a listen.

Svarti Loghin - Empty World


I'm kind of having a hard time coming up with a good way to describe this band. While it definitely has the general feel of black metal, it has some shoegaze elements as well without sounding cheesey or as lame as you'd think a black metal meets shoegaze hybrid would sound. That description came out as unreadable and idiotic as I thought it would. Just download it and give it a spin, asshole.

Snowblood - Snowblood


Some spaced out, sludgy long format type shit straight out of Glasgow, Scotland. Pretty solid release, four untitled tracks clocking in at exactly one hour.

The Red Chord - Fed Through The Teeth Machine


Not really impressive. It's no Clients or Fused Together. Worth checking out if you're a fan of the band.

Necrophobic - Death To All

As much as I hate to use ridiculous genre modifiers, blackened death metal is what this truly is. The black metal elements bring a melodic touch to things. Enough tremolo picking (as well as other black metal riffs) to make me poop my pants. With song titles like "For Those Who Stayed Satanic" how can you go wrong?

Makiladoras - Niemand Weet Wat De Toekomst Brengt

via their Last.fm: "Meaning bandname: Maquiladoras (or as we write: Makiladoras) are free-trade zones in Mexico. ‘Free’ means free to exploit, the workers in this kind of places don’t have any rights. At the Drive In made a song about the Maquiladoras and especially about the many women that were murdered when they were traveling to their job."

Awesome Dutch crust band.

"Three dudes addicted to the riff. Hellbent on keepin' it heavy." - Their Myspace Page

So this has been sitting in my uploads folder for quite some time. Don't know why I never posted it. Slow, heavy, and slightly psychedelic metal. Get waste and jam it real slow.

Immortal - All Shall Fall

Goofy black metal legends have finally returned. Haven't been able to listen to all of it yet, but from what I can gather not much has changed between 2002 and 2009. If you like their past work, grab it. The title track is on the above linked myspace if you're on the fence about it. I would like to note that I am disappointed in how entirely not retarded the album cover is. Wish I had the cash to pre-order the LP. You can grab it for around $25 over at Nuclear Blast's webstore. Kind of expensive.

Edit: Apparently I need to work on cloaking my shit better.
Assuck - Misery Index

Easily my favorite record from these punk-fueled grindcore/death metal dudes. They effortlessly blend the dynamics of both grind and death metal in a way that really blows my mind. An absolute must have for anyone that claims to enjoy aggressive music. Don't act like you ain't know.

The Locust - New Erections

+ (LISTEN)

I'm pretty sure most are familiar with these guys. But if you aren't the produce a blend of spastic, experimental hardcore with a grindy bent to it. This is their latest effort, released in 2007, and they are really starting to expand and fill out their sound adding in some slower doomy, sludgy riffs that really compliment the faster parts. I think I enjoy this record the most as a whole, the eleven tracks clocking in around 24 minutes. My only qualm is the album really comes to a climax during Book Of Bot and the two following songs seem a bit tacked on. One of their best, I'll post up more later.
Mindless Mutant - Self Titled 7"


+ (DOWNLOAD)
+ (LISTEN)

Hardcore/Powerviolence band featuring members of Spazz, Our Turn, and Look Back And Laugh. A super-group, if you will. The 7" is six rippin' tracks that you would expect from these dudes and two really, really fuckin' heavy instrumentals that you wouldn't expect but I definitely enjoy. Awesome record, I really can't stop listening to it.
Knuckle Scraper - Max Isn't The Bastard

+ (LISTEN)

This band sounds like the illegitimate love child of Spazz and Crossed Out. With the whole disk clocking in at just over five minutes, it's worth listening to at least once.

Drip, Drip, Drip....

A few recent leaks...
Originally thought the Baroness was a myspace rip. Apparently not, or at least that's what I've heard. Production is dumpy, but its encoded at 192, so who the fuck knows. Enjoy and don't tell big brother.

Update: Got ganked guys. I'll re-up when this shit cools off if you missed out.
