The starter is, by popular demand; Noothgrush - Erode the person. This record compiles tracks from their splits with Wellington and Corrupted among others. We are talking classic dirty-as-fuck sludge, that shares a drummer with the amazing american sludgeoutfit Graves At Sea.
The second dish is the aforementioned Graves At Sea - Documents of grief. Again, we are dealing with distorted sludge, with slight hints of Black Sabbath here and there. With four songs, all around 7 minutes, this is the kind of record you wanna put on, just after downing a glass of absinth (you know, the old school kind that induces hallucinations, Van Gogh-earcutting-style).
The first main dish is a true mastodon of doom/funeral doom from one of the best bands in the genre; the allmighty Asunder. Featuring members from such notable acts as Dystopia, Wolves in the throne room, Weakling, and Ghoul there is no overlooking the immensity of this record. With only two tracks, ticking in at 22 and 50 minutes respectively, the air practically vibrates between every beat of the snare. You can almost feel the walls of this reality shivering as everything you know threatens to cave in on you, only to reveal a dreamscape of sinister vistas... Okay I think I might have gotten a bit carried away there, but seriously, Works will come undone is that good.
The second main dish is an equally black monolith of a record. The UK based band Moss spills forth from the void to offer us their first full-lenght record; Cthonic rites. As the atentive reader will no doubt have noticed, we are dealing with full-on HP Lovecraft worship here. The music itself is blacker than the void that spawned it. Drone/funeral doom that moves forward in a tempo that is painfull to say the least. Listening to the two songs on here is like watching Shub-Niggurath - The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, as he struggles to take form. Absolutely NOT a record you want to listen to, if you are on any kind of strong psychedelic drugs, unless you want to end up in a permanent bad trip of mindbulging proportions. Fun fact: the two songs here tick in at 66.6 minutes all together. Yeah!For dessert, still in the vein of HP Lovecraft, I give you Portland, USA's Aldebaran - Dwelle
rs in twilight. The lyrics and song titles itself make this record worth your while if you are even remotely into the writings of this great writer. Musically we are talking more traditional doom than for example Moss, but still, there is no denying the gravity of a release like this one.Now get stoned, crank up your crappy stereo, and float away on the black rivers of R'lyeh.
P.S. The Moss record was so huge that I had to split it into two different downloads. The link to the second song is here:
Yeah, that's what i call slow food..
