Cosmic Jaguar – El Era del Jaguar

An album like this usually goes straight to the True Kvlt section. It came late, with no promo and little clout (plus the title is missing an accent mark in Él, that’s how pedantic we can be at MER). However, I was also puzzled by how strange all its elements were. We’re talking about a Tech Death mixed with Aztec Folk Metal band, from Ukraine, with lyrics in English and Spanish. It can’t get weirder than this. I had to listen to it to believe it. Could Cosmic Jaguar‘s El Era del Jaguar join our small group of year-end deep underground revelations?

Oxygen Destroyer – Guardian of The Universe

Those of you who voted in our Instagram poll get what you wanted. It wasn’t a full majority, but no election gets that these days. So, to surprise you, I dug deep into my inner child to bring you Oxygen Destroyer‘s newest album, Guardian of the Universe. It has freaking Gamera, Mothra, and Megalon-like monsters on the cover! How could it get any weirder and cooler at the same time? (Can we finally get Gamera and Gozilla to fight each other? Japan, make it happen!) I know, the real question is: can you take this album seriously? Join us on this trip through the ruins left by unknown creatures!

True kvlt – Styrén, Carson, Trivan, Atomic Spitfire & Fata Morgana

Today, we have a special issue. We’ve received a ridiculous amount of underground submissions. This makes my black heart almost beat. However, some of the work we got is too short to demand a whole article. Hence, we’ve combined them in a format similar to this one. Anyway, have fun digging deep into the evil underground. The rapid-fire session starts now!

Nocturnus AD – Unicursal

Sitting on the throne, pondering how humanity has chosen to discard its waste into the very liquid that sustains it, I came to the profound realization that “space” Metal isn’t just a current trend; it has been hot since the 80s (you know, the era of terrible CGI and unmatched arms races). Nocturnus AD is simultaneously new and old. Those of you well-versed in The Culture will recall The Key, released under its previous band name. For those of you who are still tax-fed teenagers, you may recognize them from Paradox. But enough dwelling on the past; let’s delve into Unicursal and see what it has to offer.
