Teleport - Galactic Usurper 8/10
Damn early Teleport is so cool, I had no idea they used to sound like this, though I'm not surprised since I hear the Voivodian vibes even in their newest shit. Gotta look into this stuff!
Stone Dagger - Black Clad Rider 6/10
Shite I'm realising that I submitted the wrong track off this, I always confuse the two songs. It was meant to be
"The Siege of Jerusalem." Oh well, this song rocks too but it definitely is overly long and repetitive. I should have just submitted the pornogrind song I originally had planned lmfao.
Eternal - Kingdom of Damnation 4.5/10
Thin whispy lozenge metal, not really feeling it. It's pretty wimpy. Highlights were the cassette faults that made it fart static.
Sarkasm - Hypno Domination 9/10
Cartilage - Consanguine to Understanding 8/10
Cartilage have such an obscure sound that could only come out of Finland. The guitar tone is weird as fuck.
Ice Age - Instant Justice 7/10
Pretty fucking cool, tons of energy!
Morgan Le Fay - Killer Without a Face 7/10
That was really sweetah! Never heard of these guys before.
Liers in Wait - Overlord 9.5/10
One of my favourite EPs ever, whirlwind riffs, frantic blasting, shrieks from the fucking beyond, a great mixture of grindcore, proto-tech and Swedeath. Totally psychotic! Only beef is this is not the best track on the EP, but whatever it still destroys everything else on this playlist so far.
Witchkiller - Day of the Saxons 7/10
Has a sleazy swagger to it that I really appreciate.
Nachtmahr - Trollnacht 7.5/10
Those moments in black metal where they slow right down and drill the drums into your head never ceases to impress me, and the clean-singing doom metal breakdown part was also quite unexpected and interesting, really made the final minute or so of black metal blasting quite effective.
Gnome - Emptiness 10/10
WOW THE VOCALIST! This is nutzo shit, I love it. A Japanese band called Gnome that clearly likes Burzum enough to play similar but not totally rip him off? Yeah this rules, those fucking riffs are so damn ancient sounding! This is what I imagine plays in the forest when Krow goes fungus-fondling. (Sorry to Liers in Wait but this just toppled your playlist throne.)
Aftermass - Conjuration 8/10
If you just saw "death/thrash" you wouldn't get the full picture, I love the crossover spazzouts and the more powerthrash inclined vocal style with a second vocalist who does old school death vocals. Pretty damn bizarre in practice even though in theory it's nothing groundbreaking. The pacing was great and the audible bass a huge plus.
