The Heat Death of Everything

Altar of Plagues - Teethed Glory and Injury

Deranged sounds from between the cold rotten teeth.

Caught my attention with the first track reminding me heavily of my beloved Necro Deathmort. Was not prepared for the not-so-slow descent to madness that the whole thing provided. By the time the second track God Alone gets halfway in I started to realize this has more going for it. Absurdly grim vocalwork and the harshness of the sound are a good omen of things to come.

All the way through it is a really varied album, with some proper cold black metaly tones which nicely transition into some harsh noise-doom style sounds, all embedded with shiver-inducing vocals. I usually strongly prefer instrumental, but for this I feel it adds a lot to the overall experience.

Damaged Wig

Album of the day: Igorrr - Hallelujah

Finding gems like this always cheers me up. I believe I have glanced my ear over this album before as well, but this time I stumbled on it while looking for some dark jazz and well it caught my attention with the Venetian Snares-esque glitched rapid-fire drums and the jarring baroque style sound samples. Add in a dash of noise and death-screams, you got yourself an album worth listening to.

the burden of hope
