Bloodbath - Unblessing the Purity EP

Say goodbye to the confused and irrenivent Hypocricy/Edge of sanity clone bloodbath found on "Nightmares Made Flesh", And say hello to the new and improved. Ã…kerfeldt is back on vocals, and Swano has been given the boot. Bloodbath has never before sounded this entertaining to my Aural Cavities.

Leviathan + Lurker Of Chalice Megapost

**********************************************
Leviathan and Lurker of Chalice are both solo projects of a guy called Jeff Whitehead (aka Wrest) from San Francisco. Wrest Also Runs a Tattoo shop in sanfran, is involved with the USBM "Supergroup" Twilight, And has released around 20 albums/EPs/splits since 2000...Quite a busy little fellow if I do say so myself. The great thing about Leviathan and Lurker of Chalice is that unlike Many other black metal side projects, they don't sound like the same band, and are essentially equal in quality of releases IMO.

Leviathan
---

Leviathan is the more traditional black metal band of the two, Meaning its incredibly fast, riff driven stuff. Usually traditional black metal bands bore me to tears. There is a difference between tasteful repetition and straight up monotony, and for the most part leviathan walks the path of the former. Expect lightning fast cut-throat riffs, the occasional dark ambient mood, and staple sinister/Psychotic vocals.

An All Dark Ambient Album Wrest made around the time He was Helping out with SunnO)))'s "Black One". Very Different from most other of Leviathans roster of albums but equally entertaining.

Often said to be Leviathan's best, and I'd agree if it wasn't for 2008's Massive Conspiracy against All Life

Lurker Of Chalice
---Wrest other project, under the moniker of Lurker of Chalice, is quite different and more uniquely original then his older project Leviathan. Lurker of Chalice follows the more ambient and depressing portion of Leviathan while still managing to not sound like leviathan lite. Melodic, acoustic and almost unblackmetalish passages and intros are quite frequent here. Lets put it this way, Leviathan is Destruction, Carnage and Slaughter, and Lurker of Chalice is Desolation, Misanthropy and Pestilence.

The Black Keys - Attack & Release and Chulahoma (EP)



Download

More Black Keys For ya'll. I particularly enjoy "Chulahoma", partly because it was my introduction to The Black Keys. I picked it up by mistake because the name rung a bell. I was in fact expecting it to be a full length album and full of experimental rock, by some band i heard a lot of people talking about. (I thought they were the Black Dice.) An admittedly equally embarassing and beneficial fuck-up on my part. When I put it on expecting crazy shit as per Black Dice, and instead was greeted by a twangley soulful blues guitar riff I was more then a little surprised. I was surprised that anyone would call this experimental or noise rock, and I was equally surprised that it was exceptionally good. Hey... everyone makes mistakes.
