Samael - Passage. Pulled this out randomly, been ages since I listened to it. Quality, must MP3 it for the car.

The Ruins of Beverast - The Thule Grimoires. I'd checked em out before but didn't really hit the spot. Really enjoying this, though. Loads of dimensions to it.

Varathon - Patriarchs of Evil
Altar of Perversion - Intra Naos
Schammasch - Hearts of No Light

Also listened to this today, it is unreal, already looking forward to the next spin.

Listening to Slift - "Ummon" a lot over the past few days.  Absolutely class.  Heavy Psych / Stoner Rock but that does absolutely fuck all to describe how good it actually is.  Proggy and ridiculous but also hammering and motorik, various textures and styles throughout every song, completely surprising without being outlandish, great musicianship but never forsaking the song to show it off.  Recommended

Great, pisses all over the Rise Of Chaos.

What does motorik mean?

It's the style of drums often used in krautrock, but that influence carries on into a lot of other stuff - Often seen in psychedelic rock, stoner, post punk... lots of genres but commonly harder rock rather than metal.  It carries a sort of driving, moving sound in a song usually, often purposefully repetetive. 

[Eoin McLove]

Ah, I see. It's a word I sometimes see used in reviews but never understood it.

[Carnage]

There's an Irish writer (Mark Prendergast) who kept saying 'motorik' in that Kraftwerk documentary, he's a bit of a gobshite with an irritating vocal tic of chopping the end off words, so I thought he'd made it up and it drove me mad every time I heard it. It was only years after that I read that it was an actual thing.

Burzum - Belus
