My Favorite Releases of 2010

1)   Anathema – We're Here Because We're Here

I fucking love Anathema. Ive loved them from their early doom metal days, and each progression their albums have underwent since. Even though this album is not metal ~per se~, it is my favorite release of 2010 and is worthy of being mentioned.

2)   Defeated Sanity - Chapters of Repugnance

A stellar and flawless display of brutal death metal! I even feel this album is as good, if not better than their previous release Psalms of the Moribund. An essential album for fans of brutal death/slam. This is one of the main bands Im travelling to MDF for. FUCK YES.

3) Negură Bunget - Măiestrit

Negura Bunget know just how to bring the right amount of folk and atmosphere with black metal. Its been 4 long years since the release of the majestic Om album so I was stoked as shit to get this and Vîrstele Pămîntului in 2010 from these guys. It was hard to choose between Măiestrit and Vîrstele Pămîntului for 2010 but this one won for me. Even though its a remake of a much older release of theirs, Măiastru Sfetnic, it still fucking amazing. The production is tits and gives this masterpiece the clarity it deserves. Love it.

4) Alcest - Écailles de lune

I am a huge sucker for shoegazey black metal. With that in mind, I absolutely adore this album. It might be more on the light side throughout the album, but its a fine contrast making me appreciate its heavy moments that much more. A masterpiece of beauty and art in my opinion and is a must own for anyone who is a fan of the shoegaze/black metal hybrid.

4)   Hour of Penance - Paradogma

Keeping the brutality pumping! Their previous release The Vile Conception was a damn fine display of brutal death metal and Paradogma is a excellent progression from that still leaving me wet in the pants to see what they will be coming up with next!

5)   Imperium Dekadenz - Procella Vadens

Phenominal black metal from Germany! From the opening track of Procella Vadens I immediately knew my ears were in for a treat. Excellent riffs and atmosphere. I highly enjoy black metal that takes the time in songs to break from the chaos for a soft guitar, bass or piano melody accompanied by a slow rhythmic drum beat letting you sink into the music before they pick up the pace again. I feel this compliments the music well and gives the album a unique listening experience.

6)   Decapitated Midgets - Shit Ceremony

Goregrind album of the year! Sounds like a mixture between Nasum, Rotten Sound and Fuck...Im Dead. Songs are fast, riffs are fun, vocals are guttural and most importantly blast beats are on fire.Very, very pleased!

7)   Deathspell Omega - Paracletus

Excellent innovative and creative black metal from France. I got into Deathspell Omega after their raw black metal days. I was a bigger fan of their "newer" style. I was introduced to them with my favorite release of theirs to date, Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice and have been following ever since.
Paracletus is the third chapter in their trilogy of albums representing Satan, Man, and God. After listening to it multiple times I have a hard time deciding which album out of the trilogy I like most...I look at the trilogy as a whole, because I often listen to them in sequence, Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice is pure fucking evil (agh so good!), and then Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum is just fucking chaos and despair where the songs are long and suited well for my black metal tastes, and then there is Paracletus. The fucking cherry on top of it all. Fucking awesome!

9)   Svarti Loghin - Drifiting Through The Void

This album got really really low reviews everywhere I read but, I loved it. I think its a great balance between shoegaze, country, black metal and ambient. A lot of people found it too slow and boring, but I think if you need something to zone out to, this is perfect.

10) Misery Index - Heirs to Thievery

Holy fuck. I did a review on this album earlier in the year because Misery Index is one of my favorite bands and this album absolutely blew me away. They have perfected their portions of death metal/grindcore with this release and with the sheer number of the biggest names in metal as guest appearances, this album kills! Only complaint is Kevin Talley isnt rockin the drums on this album, but Adam Jarvis is no fuckin slouch!

11) Immolation - Majesty and Decay

Immolation never let me down. Each of their albums have effortlessly met my death metal standards and this release is no different. I was bummed I did not get to see them when they came around LA supporting this album, but when I heard Pathology was off the tour due to a car accident, I just couldnt justify spending the money I didnt have at the time. Ive seen Immolation plenty of times before so I didnt feel too bad. But this album slays! Pick it up! Now!

12) Cerebral Effusion - Impulsive Psychopathic Acts

Right behind the new Defeated Sanity, Cerebreal Effusion's Impulsive Psychopathic Acts is a must own for any brutal death/slam fan. Excellent brutal gutturals, intense guitar riffs, and of course sickening slams!

13) Gorevent - Worship Paganism

Like a few other albums in my list, this album got really low reviews. Granted they seemed to have not carried on from their previous release, but I still thought Worship Paganism was a good listen. No?...Alright fuck you, I like it.

14) Interment - Into The Crypts of Blasphemy

Excellent old school death metal shoved up your ass! Reminds me a lot of Autopsy! Cant wait to see these guys at MDF in the upcoming year!

15) Inquisition - Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm

Typically not my type of black metal; the whole satanism thing gets really old after awhile for me, but this release by Inquisition has excellent atmosphere, depth, melodies and riffs. See you sick motherfuckers at MDF!

My Least Favorite Releases of 2010

1) Mortifera - Maledictiih

What a fucking joke...It was hard for me to believe that they went from what I believe was one of the best black metal albums to come out of France, Vastiia Tenebrd Mortifera, to this bullshit....Biggest disappointment of the year.

2) Drudkh - A Handful of Stars

Drudkh is in my top 5 bands for sure, and this album made me embarrassed to say I even support their music which is why this release upset me the most. It did not come out of left field like the Mortifera album because Drudkh's previous release Microcosmos was borderline mediocrity for Drudkh...But this...Wow, what a fucking atrocity!

3) Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra

Another tragic tale of a once epic black metal band turned sour. This came as no suprise, because honestly they havent put out a decent record in almost 10 years but I still have hope for them. How I long for the days when Dimmu were actually were good. They will always have a nostalgic essence being one of  the first black metal bands I listened to (along with Immortal and Burzum)  but their days of symphonic black metal have came to an all time low. Seeing them live this year made me realize, how butt-fuckingly gay they are becoming. I wouldnt be surprised if they are being bought out by Hot Topic with the way their sound and image has been heading. 

4) Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier

I will probably be burned at the stake for committing heresy right now, but honestly Iron Maiden need to seriously just throw in the towel already...Seriously...Just stop..

5) Pathology - Legacy of The Ancients

One of my favorite brutal death metal bands is definitely on a downward slope...Their previous work, Age of Onset was the start of them steering away from themes of Gore to themes of aliens and conspiracy theories...What the fuck...Their first two releases are still damn fine brutal death metal, but Im starting to wonder about their future...

Darkness Reborn Setlist (2010)

Just saw the setlist for Dimmu Borgir's upcoming tour, Darkness Reborn, featuring Enslaved.

I am crushed...I knew there would be ALOT of new material on each bands side, but jesus christ almost half of Dimmu's set is from their newest abomination Abrahadabra...Ugh, I hate it when bands do this...There is not one song from either of their best albums For All Tid or Stormblast. I should have came to terms with this when I bought these tickets taking into consideration the slope this band has been sliding on for almost a decade...

But I still had hope...Thats where Enslaved comes in...Their newest album Axioma Ethica Odini is pretty fucking good. Such a vast improvement from where they were heading...They give me hope that even when a band starts going downhill, they still have the potential in them to create a masterpiece.

So here is the setlist if you are going to see this tour.

Enslaved:
Axioma
Ethica Odini
Raidho
Fusion of Sense & Earth
Ground
The Beacon
Isa

Dimmu Borgir:

Cowboys From...High School?

These kids ranging from ages 12 to 16 are a part of a music instruction class run by Aaron O'Keefe in Ohio. O'Keefe has quite a bit of love for Phil Anselmo for his students are only instructed to play music he is a part of, specifically songs from Pantera and Down.

Despite the high pitched pre-pubescent vocals, these kids nail it! Holy shit I am impressed and fucking jealous... Thanks for making me feel like an incompetent piece of shit on the bass at 24 years old...

Brutal Truth @ The Blvd

On January 20th, 2011 one of my favorite Grindcore acts, Brutal Truth, will be at The Blvd. in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles for a night of extreme music. Last time I saw Brutal Truth was when they came to the Knitting Factory back in 2007 with Pig Destroyer and Anal Cunt and they did not disappoint in the least! Cant wait for this show!

Other acts are Despise You, Lack of Interest, Bastard Noise, Fetus Eaters and Terrorism.

Black Skys Call For Black Metal

Today I woke up, and looked outside and it was dark, foggy, drizzling, and alittle chilly. Here in Southern California, we dont get these days too often and its a damn shame because I would trade this weather for the sun, any day of the week. Driving to work, I started planning what music would best accompany this day, much like how food enthusiasts will match a good wine to a particular meal. What type of music would best accompany a wet, dark, foggy, and rainy day? Black Metal.

Which type? Well, I tend to lean more towards depressive/suicidal or atmospheric/shoegazey black metal where the lyrical content is based around sorrow, despair, longing, trees, nature and suicide as opposed to black metal where the lyrical content is basically anti-christian and satanic. But not always.

So this post is a bit random and out of the norm for the regular scheme of things, but I just wanted to share some music that I think is very fitting for days like today.

Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini (2010)

Wow, I was totally caught off guard with how good this release is. In Axioma Ethica Odini, Enslaved have incorporated more progressive elements into their style and it is paying off, big time.

Axioma Ethica Odini is a heavier progression from their previous and more mellow release, Vertabrae. Ive enjoyed almost everything Enslaved has released to date, old or new, but this album brings forth something very unique and I dig it. If you favored their earlier Viking Metal days like Frost and Eld to their newer progression you will most likely not enjoy this, but listen to the link below and find out for yourself atleast...

Now I have some new material to look forward to hear when I see them with Dimmu Borgir in November. Stoked.

Great candidate for best albums of 2010!

Drudkh - A Handful of Stars (2010)

Drudkh is a band that I hold in high admiration because most of their albums blow me away with its musicianship and emotion. They are a gem in the vast field of metal and truly one of a kind. So with that in mind...After a few minutes into the second song off A Handful of Stars, I said to myself, "What the fuck is this?!?..." The biggest buzzkill was the guitars. They used a very light distortion and their riffs are boring and lifeless. The complete opposite of what I comes to mind when I think of Drudkh.

It was seriously a chore to listen to the whole album. The only thing that motivated me to get through it, was the hope that somewhere in that 42 minutes of my life I spent listening to this album, there would be a moment I felt I was doing something worth my time. That moment came as soon as the album ended.

First its the new Mortifera album, then the new Dimmu Borgir album, now Drudkh have jumped on the bandwagon for biggest let downs of the year. 2010 have released alot of great albums, but this is inexcusable horse shit.

Im pissed.

Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra (2010)

Biggest piece of advice: Less symphonics, More metal.

This album is a fucking joke.
