This record was in my top 10 of 2019, and my spirit is waiting black-eyed in the void for more of their music. Within the same song you’ll hear the Swedish prog-death of Edge of Sanity and Opeth before the melodies are vaporized by Gorgutsian discord.
This San Antonio band deftly maneuvers between black metal and slyly blended death metal influences. If you like riffs or banging your head, Skeleton is must-hear. There’s nothing complex about Skeleton: the Texas unit clearly worship thrash metal’s younger days, locking it into an unholy union with Venom’s love for Satan and primitive black metal. 45 minutes of straight-up, no-frills brutal death, Obscene Majesty was a much-needed reminder of what slam can sound like when it isn’t overrun by deathcore and tired lyrical themes. Obscene Majesty stands head and shoulders above every other slam or brutal death metal album released in recent memory. Latest release Necrotic Fear straddles the line between extreme metal and dark ambient, creating a stifling mood that wouldn’t be out of place as the soundtrack to a horror movie. One of those one-man bands that manages to sound like an army, Crawl is simultaneously caustic and haunting. Recent and upcoming Tridroid releases include the cassette version of drone/doom duo Body Void’s new album, death metal upstarts Putrescine and antifascist black metal group Feminazgul. Tridroid has sung the gospel of cassettes since 2014, releasing a combination of reissues and new music. Driven by distorted, fuzz-drenched riffs and big melodic vocals, the Texas crew’s latest album, Valley of Shadows, is totally the kind of record that should be heard in a filthy dive bar. New album Silver is light and flowing, with bursts of aggression and urgency.Īustin’s Duel play old-school stoner metal of the highest order. One-man outfit Daygraves combines blackgaze and post-rock in an effective and emotive fashion, weaving bright melodies into shimmering black metal. Since Texas is currently recovering from the results of disastrous winter weather, Decibel focused this month’s roundup on the Lone Star State. The music-hosting program waives its cut of proceeds for 24 hours on the first Friday of every month, allowing bands to recoup losses from the current ban on touring due to the coronavirus. By now, Bandcamp Fridays are an established occurrence.
