NOW PLAYING: FUNERAL LEECH ‘DEATH MEDITATION’ (2020)
One of my favorite death doom albums and PSA/proof to other death metal bands: you don’t need violent sound clips or overplayed horror dialogue to create a creepy af atmosphere! Listen to it right now! Bandcamp
NOW PLAYING: TOMB MOLD ‘MANOR OF INFINITE FORMS’ (2018)
This is one of the best death metal albums of the past decade so I am listening to this tasty orange vinyl. If you haven’t heard it, check it out right away @ Bandcamp!
NOW BREWING: BLACK & WHITE COFFEE BURUNDI SET
I’ve made another video featuring their coffee, but I am enjoying this delicious CROP of Burundi coffee from Black & White Coffee Roasters! The set may be sold out but anything from this roaster is gold. Order yourself a bag, you deserve it!
WHEN THOS CLEANS HIT
Been thinking a lot about thos cleans lately. TEMPLE OF VOID released their latest Summoning The Slayer on June 3, and this is my honest, live reaction video to their closing song, “Dissolution”.
And last week, I was doing my routine sampling of the week’s new releases when the cleans hit me in a REAL WAY that completely disrupted my equilibrium. The following is a dramatic reenactment based on true life events.
DOLDRUM ‘THE KNOCKING…’ AOTM MAY 2022
My favorite May release is DOLDRUM, whose USBM tone has completely enveloped me. The guitars, the BASS (!!!), and everything about their sound is perfect. It goes off in eerie directions without wandering, and the shouty vocals are exactly in my q-zone. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS.

TEMPLE OF VOID THINKIN’ CLEANS
Almost a month has passed since my last TEMPLE OF VOID post, and I still cannot stop thinking about the cleans on their upcoming album, Summoning The Slayer. I can’t wait until June 3 so this is an SOS to the band to drop the promo track featuring the cleans. I need ’em.
ULTHA ‘ALL THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TRUE’ AOTM APRIL 2022
My favorite April release is ULTHA All That Has Never Been True. They are one of my “all-time” bands doing top tier black metal, and I don’t see any 2022 album knocking it from my AOTY so I’ll just call it now! One of those “full body” experiences, and I haven’t stopped listening since they surprise-dropped it. While I’ve loved everything they’ve released, especially 2018’s The Inextricable Wandering, the new one is my #1.
