Portal have released a new track from their upcoming album Vexovoid, which is due out on February 19th via Profound Lore. “Curtain” is the name of this six minute hell raiser and it is what you would come to expect from the Australian band, which is not a bad thing. It’s a cavernous, cacophonous swirl of noisy death metal that sounds as if it has crawled out of the lowest level of Hades. There are a lot of very straightforward, dissonant tremolo picked chords that are layered in such a way that it bears a very disturbing vibe. But enough of me jabbering, go check out the track at Pitchfork now!

Holy fuck balls shit pussy fuck fuck fuck. I haven’t been this excited about a single track in quite a while. Yes, that’s right! Bosse-De-Nage have released a new track off of their forthcoming Profound Lore release III which will be released on June 26th. This track is pure blackened misery wrapped in filth and desperation and it is fucking phenomenal. Don’t wait, stream “The Arborist” below and get fucked. Enjoy.
No, I’m not gonna make a big post about this. I’ve ranted and raved about my Arkansas natives Pallbearer over and over again. I’ve been waiting and waiting to hear the band’s Profound Lore debut and now you and I can do so! That’s right, NPR is 
Oh for the love of god or whatever. The almighty Worm Ouroboros is at it again! After their mesmerizing and beautiful debut in 2009, the band is prepping to release a new album via Profound Lore under the title of Come The Thaw and they are currently streaming a new track over on 
Let’s start off this fine day with Altar Of Plagues. This Irish atmospheric black metal band is one of the finest and one of my favorites. I missed out on their release this year titled Mammal but you can bet your ass I am catching up on it now. FYI, it’s fucking phenomenal. If you have yet to embrace it, then this morning’s playlist might seriously interest you. I bring you a full album stream of Altar of Plagues Mammal. Check it out. Enjoy. I know you will. 
Okay, let me start off by saying that I am going into this album completely unbiased. I judge music based on music and that is all. If the music is good, I will enjoy said music. I don’t care what kind of predicament that Wrest found himself in before this album was created nor what the background behind the lyrics are. I am judging this album in its entirety based on the music alone. That being said, True Traitor True Whore is a stunning display of much more than black metal. Wrest has touch upon things that I, and I’m sure I’m not alone, didn’t know where there. 
There is no doubt that The Atlas Moth seriously outdid themselves with their latest album An Ache For The Distance. It’s a monumental, thundering album that is pretty much untouchable. These dudes are killer and I see An Ache For The Distance as a very high point in their career. You can read my review 
Do you people have any idea how much I am anticipating Leviathan’s True Traitor, True Whore? I mean, seriously. I want this album so bad my sack gets moist just thinking about it. Leviathan, of course, is the controversial one-man black metal project from San Fran., California. What’s that? When you think of black metal you don’t immediately think of California? Well, California is a breeding ground for black metal, including the awe-inspiring Leviathan. I have loved every piece of music Wrest has composed and what I’ve heard from True Traitor, True Whore, this album will be no different. Don’t believe me? Listen for yourself.
So REM broke up. REM hasn’t been relevant since what, 1994? Well I will be “mourning” REM’s split by listening to a new Wolvhammer track via
