Aztlan - Legion Mexica

But of a weird black/folk metal vibe, liberal use of (what I'm assuming) traditional Mexican instruments. Not quite sure what to make of it yet, they definitely could have trimmed it down a bit but feels like it could be a grower

Two January releases that I've been listening to frequently.


Bhleg- Ödhin. Swedish Black Metal that sits somewhere between early Ulver and Arckanum.

Sadistic Drive- Anthropophagy. Very un-Finnish sounding Finnish Death Metal, more like early gory US stuff like Necrophagia and Impetigo. No big brain posturing just good messy fun.

Both sound alright, if a bit plain, but will investigate further.

Mate of mines label (I believe he lived in Dublin for a bit in the past), usually puts out rawer stuff, this is sounding good!

Listening to this at the moment, pretty killer black/ speed metal without ending up sounding like the Midnight style blackened motley crue type stuff lots of bands do. Reminds me a lot of Iron Angel or newer bands like Deathhammer. Nothing groundbreaking but worth a listen for sure!

Yeah I'm a sucker for stuff in this style  where they mix in a few good highs and shrieks, no matter how crude they are, as opposed to strictly harsh vocals.

In the same vein I was also big into the new albums from Occult Burial and Euronymous that came out last year though they're both a bit less on the obscure end than these lads.

Haven't heard the latter yet but OB was great. I loved their one before it so was glad they were able to provide again.

Yeah thought it was a savage follow up. While I'm posting that sorta stuff, these are another band I've been huge into the last while. Very Venom/ Hellhammer inspired stuff but with a good bit of focus on atmosphere and even some keys here and there.  Something a bit more interesting than the standard black/thrash fare so hoping they do more.

That sounds great, will have to give it a proper spin tomorrow. Sounds like Hellhammer Heap lol

Gave that Barrow Wight album a spin there on bandcamp, really enjoyable, like Venom singing about Lord of the Rings.  Can't go wrong with song titles like "No Sleep 'Till Gondor", fun stuff.

Woa, just took a punt at Demoniac tonight and loving this:
https://edgedcircleproductions.bandcamp.com/album/so-it-goes
Hard to believe it's just released in 2021, it's got that nice early era Sepultura and Kreator drum sound, but well varied with songs ranging from 4 to 20 minutes. Lead riffs to burn, and clarinet sections?! Picking this up on bandcamp Friday for sure 🤘🏻

More leaning towards heavy metal but came across this. Good fun.

Heavy Sentence rule! Was given the tape by a mate who say em live and I put it on pretty frequently
