Double review: Solnegre- Anthems For The Grand Collapse

Metalcatto

Spain isn’t particularly known for its Doom Metal. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, but it does mean that Solnegre‘s Anthems For The Grand Collapse arrives with little pre-existing noise around it, which honestly feels more like a gift than a curse. I’m approaching this thing with no preconceptions or prejudices, just expecting to get trashed in all the right ways. However, Death/Doom can be so derivative at times that there’s still some level of worry lurking in my dark heart. Let’s see if that concern was justified.

Protrusion – The Last Suppuration

Metalcatto

Protrusion is the name you want to hear when it comes to Death Metal, right? I mean, you clearly didn’t picture cute kittens after reading it. Even less after seeing the album title The Last Suppuration. Nothing optimistic or pure could come out of that combination. The only real question is how pummeling and retro this album is going to be in practice.

EP Madness part 5

Metalcatto

I always say the love EPs get on this blog is the same attention your body gets from you. So you see, we usually don’t care and go through them with little respect. They’re leftovers after all, right? Well, sometimes I make an effort and chug a few EPs back to back to see if any of them are worth our time. Here are a few of those.

Monstrosity – Screams From Beneath The Surface

Metalcatto

Monstrosity is a band that remains criminally underrated in the grand scheme of Death Metal. Not many bands this old can still produce decent work, let alone material that stands alongside its best. The Passage of Existence was nothing short of impressive back in 2018, a genuine comeback that reminded everyone why the band mattered. Since one return isn’t enough, the band has taken almost another decade to release Screams From Beneath the Surface. So the question is: is this going to be Carcass-style aging or Morbid Angel-style aging? The time for fear is now.

Shout-out time!

Multiwomb – Anatomy of Gorelust

Metalcatto

Sometimes this Metal reviewing gig makes me wonder what I did to deserve this. When a band named Multiwomb comes in with an album titled Anatomy of Gorelust, it’s entirely my fault if I decide to dive into something that’s obviously not going to sound like a kid’s Sunday cartoon. In fact, this album has everything to make more than one person lose their appetite or burst out laughing at the sheer over-the-top madness contained within. Let’s go.

Hating Life – Revenge From Beyond

Metalcatto

A name like Hating Life can’t inspire too many hugs. The real question is whether Revenge From Beyond is going to make me miserable the right way or the boring way. There’s little room for exploration in Death Metal, especially if you want to cook it the traditional way, which is why I approached this album with some legitimate stomach discomfort. I’m fed up with the same stuff over and over. But let’s hope again.

Hrob – Brána Chladu

Metalcatto

Hrob isn’t for people who want to have a good time. What do I mean by that? Well, if you listen to thirty seconds of Brána Chladu, you’ll understand right away that the band is trying to inflict as much emotional damage as possible. Just like your parents. Anyway, I wasn’t ready for this sorrowful ride, but that doesn’t mean I was going to chicken out.
