I have failed to get into the vocals on this album Khalkedonian Death by the Turkish band Diabolizer, but the music is great, so if the vocals work for you, you might like it a lot:

It is kind of funny that there are two discs of "Live & Rare" with a total of 25 songs, of which... checks again... a grand total of 1 is "rare" and not "live".

I want all that live stuff. And respect to them for including all the Ripper Owens-era albums. But while I can absolutely afford this object, I will not be purchasing it.

I know this kind of comparison isn't always useful or helpful and doesn't take into consideration the box and other items, you'd think they could have done a little better than $11.30 per disc.

Necromantical Invocation is a project for Echetleos, who has played in a bunch of groups in Greece, most notably Caedes Cruenta. A demo that was only on cassette Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie was released by Belgian label Zombi Danz Records in February and was just given a CD/LP release by Helter Skelter Productions/Regain Records, which promises to grant it a bigger audience.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx9vJFr6Wcghttp://regainrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dogme-et-rituel-de-la-haute-magie
It's pretty unique, with spooky Gothic cornerstones supporting noir-ish avant garde black metal. It's essentially two long, grandiose songs with a shorter intro and outro cut bookending the EP. "Necromantical Ritual" is plodding with pleqasantly cheese synths while the title track is laden with baroque piano and supple bass. Pretty interesting!

I didn't get much out of their first album despite it being totally my jam (the fact that it came out the same year as Hiss Spun didn't help) but this is great so far, much more convincing in terms of songwriting, which I thought was the debut's weak link.

I would say that's fair. I really did like the debut, but this feels like such a huge step forward.

― Left, Saturday, 31 July 2021 15:14 (two years ago) link
It's obviously unnecessary one minute in. I like how the rhythm section keeps it heavy all the way through. idk if I prefer this over the first album as it's been in constant rotation for the past few years for me.

love these guys: https://fulcicult.bandcamp.com/album/exhumed-information
Fulci-inspired death metal. The album is a concept based on the film "Voices from Beyond” (1991).. their death metal isn't really outside the beaten path or anything, but it it's good for fist-pumping, and occasional synths or melodic leads show up to accentuate the riffs and make things more 'cinematic' (they give it an 80s sleaze-horror feel)

I'm not really a war metal aficionado, but there was no way I was going to skip an album called Blood and Extinction by a band called Caveman Cult, and I'm glad I checked it out. It's only 22 minutes long, but it's a raw blast half way between super-primitive black metal and Lair of the Minotaur, with some bursts of electronic noise thrown in. Out October 1.
