Suffering so you don't have to!

When I think of Meuse Records, I think of sad puppy Death/Doom with clean production. However, Rigorous Sardonicus truly defies the stereotypes, because Diatriba Deorum is just nasty work that feels like it came out of Finland in 1993. I was surprised by the band’s obscene proposal, but that’s not all it had to offer. We need more than slow riffs to be truly impressed at this point, don’t you think?

It’s almost summer here up north. It’s sunny, warm, and beautiful. What better way to ruin all of that than by listening to some soul-crushing and godless Death and Doom Metal from the pit? In Vespro is dropping this album named Where Silence Used To Sleep, which obviously isn’t going to be about riding into the sunset with all your friends and family singing happy songs. It’s going to make you go back to therapy—or that’s what I hope for. But you know how it is with the mellow stuff. Hit or miss.

For some reason that goes beyond my comprehension, Sylosis doesn’t get the love it deserves from us—the media, the critics, the tastemakers. It’s baffling. So I’m here to try to make amends. Let’s go. Enough sleeping on greatness. It’s time to give credit where it’s long overdue.

These are some albums or EPs I almost forgot about. What can I say? Promos get buried by other promos in the endless waterfall of emails we need to sort out every single day. Mercy, please (but don’t stop, ok?)

It’s been some time since I dared to return to the oversaturated nightmare that old school Death Metal has become. Astriferous has at least a name that indicates the band feels serious and comfortable in its corpse skin. Atavistic Unraveling should have enough tentacles for everyone. I’m just worried about the adrenaline dump this might cause me if it’s too old school.
