horrendous

About a year ago, I posted a review of Christian Mistress’ last album. During which, I griped about how a solid album can be extremely well made, but if it becomes too absorbed in its own fascination with days gone by without leaving behind any trace of originality, the album is instantly forgettable. While I can respect a band’s efforts to research what equipment was being used in a given era and painstakingly recreating the vintage sounds they fetishize, it’s all an effort wasted if it’s just a carbon copy of the original. Without reworking the formula, retro metal is just extreme music’s answer to The Strokes, which is only impressive if you haven’t heard what inspired it in the first place. Well, now Horrendous have come along to test whether or not I will ignore my own rules when it comes to my very favorite of all music genres, death metal, with their release The Chills.

Defeated Sanity, Willowtip Records

Remember when I told you all that Germany’s Defeated Sanity was prepping their new album for release? Well, I warned you that, seeing as Defeated Sanity was one of the heaviest bands on the planet, this album wasn’t going to be something to take lightly. I wasn’t wrong. If you don’t believe me, you’ll be pleased to know that the band is currently streaming a new track from their forthcoming album Passages Into Deformity which will be released on February 5th via Willowtip Records.

Joel Grind, toxic holocaust, Yellowgoat

If you are a fan of Toxic Holocaust then you know that the band started out as a solo project of Joel Grind. Today however, Toxic Holocaust has become a full band and it seems that Joel has turned his eye towards another solo project. This time around it’s much more raw production full of filth and perversion.

Enter Yellowgoat! Yellowgoat is the name given to Joel Grind’s new project and it’s a stellar ride of thrashy blackened punk. Of course, it sounds very similar to Toxic Holocaust although more black metal-inspired, I’d say. It’s pretty fantastic and you can see for yourself below. This first single “Cross Damnation” is available for “Name Your Price” download with the full album, The Yellowgoat Sessions to follow on January 15th. Get you some.

Attic, Van Records

If you don’t know who Attic is, I can’t say I blame you. I had no idea who this band was until just a few days ago but since learning of them, I have come to enjoy their debut album The Invocation. Attic harness the greatness of King Diamond/Mercyful Fate with a new flare. Their production is spectacular and their execution is top-notch. In today’s metal market, you don’t hear many acts spewing forth these kinds of high pitched singing styles. It’s pretty fantastic.
