My favorite album of February is STREET TOMBS. Appealing to hm2/dbeat death heads and aggressive USBM fans alike, the mid-tempo double kick breakdowns drop out of nowhere to RUMBLE. Allow me to demonstrate!
Listen to ‘Reclusive Decay’ at Bandcamp (Carbonized Records).
FAITHxTRACTOR‘s new death metal full-length may appear “old school” on paper but there are many special moments waiting to be unwrapped. One of these moments occurs at 2:24 on track 2, “Life Abnegation”. Allow me to demonstrate!
Listen to ‘Contempt For A Failed Dimension’ at Bandcamp (Redefining Darkness Records).
My first album cling of 2023 is definitely SLOG. They are my kind of death doom! Creepy slow at times, rockin’ at others. If you enjoyed last year’s ANCIENT DEATH ep, this is especially for you.
Listen to SLOG‘s excellent new album here.

That feeling when ULTHA drops the darkwave song on their 2022 black metal masterpiece, All That Has Never Been True. One of my personal favorites from this year. List season is nearing so be sure to give this one a try if you haven’t!

I won my friends’ WORDLE table this week (for the first time) so I had to drop a reface celebration vid on ’em.

I’m celebrating with my favorite Philadelphia roaster, Suprema Coffee Roastery!
Music: L’Impératrice — VOODOO? (Lazywax remix)
Imagine naming your release “Rehearsal” and it becomes one of the best death dooms of the past decade. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve listened to these same 3 songs, same 20 minutes. This is all they have given us, but we can only hope for more because this band is perfection.
Listen here!
Has this ever happened to you?
You download the new EP from your fav band so you logon to Bandcamp you just want the digital album you don’t want the cassette not that there’s anything wrong with cassettes but when you open it in your media player you still see the cassette artwork?
