True kvlt special: Bragging Rights – Carpe Jugulum

Metalcatto

Bragging Rights is one of our oldest followers, so I have to disclose a conflict of interest here. Don’t worry, though — I’m just going to increase the usual banter with Carpe Jugulum. We’re back with your favorite Gojira-worshipping act, and this time we must embrace the artist’s hairline right away, as if he wanted us to admire his last trip to Turkey. Anyway, this is a deep-underground special, and I’m ready to believe those cursed cymbals are finally fixed. Can I dare to have hope? Let’s find out.

Sepulchral – Beneath The Shroud

Metalcatto

With a name like Sepulchral, you can’t expect Beneath the Shroud to sound like puppies calling for their mom. It’d be dissociative—which is why your instincts are right: this is a Death Metal band. The real question is how old-school it will be, and whether it will honor the North American tradition or the Nordic one. It’s always hard to tell from the start. So let’s remove those doubts right away and aim for the kill once and for all! There’s no time to waste!

True kvlt: Enemynside, Haast Hunter, Halcyon, & Vyr Muk

Metalcatto & Vicky

No time! Let’s go!

True kvlt: Town Portal, Phosphoros, Desu Taem, & Antiquus Infestus

Metalcatto

I’m late, so this should start even faster!

Novembers Doom – Major Arcana

Vicky

I won’t tell you about a certain deal I made with Catto a while ago, regarding Major Arcana.

QRIXKUOR- Womb of the World

Metalcatto

Not many bands can beat QRIXKUOR when it comes to impossible names to pronounce. Everything about this band exudes seriousness, the kind that promises music capable of taking you to new levels of despair and horror. Enter Womb of the World, an album that, judging by its cover art alone, is ready to fight for a spot in my top releases of the year. The album only has four tracks! This is either going to be amazing or crush my will to live in all the wrong ways. I’ll just warn you now: there won’t be anything easy about this tortuous journey.

True kvlt: Omber, Alien Orchestra, The Impending Blindness, Blackended Gold & The Dawn Razor

Metalcatto

It’s time! But, today we’ll try a new format!

True kvlt: IDŌL, Ava, Henry, Wolventhrone, Mymann, Rot Fester

Your Birth Month = Your Metal Album (and it’s way truer than astrology)

Vicky

Metalheads deserve to know whether they are the album they adore, according to their birth month. Through the power of astronomy I have made this list entirely from scratch. Alright, without the power of astronomy, just the power of your recommendations. So I’ve gathered some of the coolest albums my friends gave me (and that I thought were kind of good, too) and made a list.

Pedestal for Leviathan – Enter: Vampyric Manifestation

Metalcatto

It’s almost time for Halloween, and I think we’re all trying to find a decent release that fits the mood. I got a random promo from Pedestal for Leviathan for Enter: Vampyric Manifestation, and while these promos don’t usually get much attention, the band sent me a FLAC file—and that always merits respect. Enter: Vampyric Manifestation is what happens when Dying Fetus and Dimmu Borgir have a child together (so, I guess in this case the fetus made it through—yay!). I know it sounds disgusting, but I’m here to tell you to hold on and keep reading.
