CRUCIAL BLAST WEBSTORE: NEW ARRIVALS FOR FRIDAY SEPT 4TH
---------------------------------------------------------------
We have quite the mixed bag of stuff this week, ranging from the extremely cool Black Box that just came out on Flingco Sound, to a bunch of recent Malignant titles (all of which are crucial albums of crushing dark ambient) and lots of extremely heavy industrial sounds. One of these new industrial-tinged releases is the new album from Laudanum, the San Francisco band that features artist Judd Hawk and who specialize in one of the heaviest mecha-sludge assaults I've heard since the Saw Throat LP. Fans of old school UK stench will be all over The Coronation, as you guys probably already know all about Laudanum from their split album with Stormcrow that 20 Buck Spin put out a while back, but for the rest of you, these cats combine vicious slow-mo sludge-metal with punishing Swans/Godflesh-esque industrial pummel and waves of corrosive noise, with savage male/female tandem vocals and an almost suffocating dystopian vibe. I fell in love with this album by the time I was halfway through it - it's one of the heaviest things I've heard on 20 Buck Spin this year (which is saying a lot), and is also one of the best sludge/industrial hybrids of '09 next to Human Quena Orchestra's Politics Of The Irredeemable. The Coronation is our featured release this week, and fans of the ultra-heavy should def check this out.
Other new stuff in this week:
the amazing Black Box from Flingco Sound, which has been described as the "Satanic Buddha Box", a new transistor sound box filled with strange black ambient loops...
a crucial reissue of the first album from 1993 from avant garde Japanese black metallers Sigh...
the septic nightmare doom/industrial of the Gnaw Their Tongues side project ADERLATING...
ALL HAIL THE TRANSCENDING GHOST, yet another new project from Nordvargr, this time a collaboration with Tim Bertilsson from Fear Falls Burning that combines blackened industrial ambience with haunting cinematic guitar figures...
a new disc of blistering noise-drenched machine sludge from the mysterious AMPUTATION THEORY...
the debut album Lay from black/industrial/PE mutant APHELION...
the KILLER new album from Israeli desert black metallers ARALLU...
a new import split LP featuring my fave new grind band ATKA and hyperspeed destructors SHIMETSU...

a new disc of crushing distorto-guitar-drone from Skullflower member CULVER...
two amazing discs of bizarro occult-ambient-prog rituals from Absu side project EQUIMANTHORN...
the skull-crushing debut from psych-sludgesters FLOOD...

the punishing new LP from NYC's best freakazoid PE creeps HALFLINGS...
the latest disc of pulverizing industro-sludge from HEDORAH...
three (!) new cd-rs of blazing, far-out psych/prog/hard rockin' metal from LA OTRACINA...
an almost indescribably weird album of surfy gothic black metal dark folk post-punk insanity from Laetitia In Holocaust...
LITURGY's incredible debut album Renihilation, which I've been waiting for for close to a freakin' year...
the newest album of psychedelic grunge-sludge from Spanish rifflords LOAN...
a limited edition cassette-only release from the mighty black kosmiche duo LOCRIAN...
a restock of LUDICRA's righteously blackened Another Great Love Song on both CD and LP...
the latest album of putrid Spanish deathgrind from weirdos MACHETAZO...
a stunning double disc release of the final album from power electronics/harsh noise master NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES...
another bizarre album of Russian video game/folk/black metal weirdness from NORD'N'COMMANDER...
a crushing collection of doomy orchestral industrial dirges and dark ambience from Phragments...part Swans, part In Slaughter Natives...
a new vinyl-only release from harsh noise wall architect THE RITA...
the elusive album Art Of Scare And Sorrow from RUNES ORDER, an intoxicating dreamworld of 80's industrial, black metal vocals, and Goblin-esque prog...
the surprisingly sunny pop-sludge of SNAIL's Blood...
another album of mutant space rock/electronic music/alien-obsessed outsider metal weirdness from SPACE MIRRORS...
a brand new vinyl reissue of TASTE OF FEAR's self-titled LP on Italian label SOA...to sum it up, INFEST meets old school death metal (!)....
a full length vinyl Lp with 1000 (!!!) locked grooves on RRRecords, featuring Prurient, Incapacitants, Aaron Dilloway and many others...
more gloriously dark ambience from VINTERRIKET...
a recently released new album of scorching wall-noise from Richard Ramirez alter ego WEREWOLF JERUSALEM...
the newest album of crushing black ambient from WOLFSKIN...
and the enigmatic improv-black-metal strangeness of WRNLRD's Oneiromantical War...
Of course, there's much more mutant heavy music to be had...so keep reading below to check out all of the amazing new music that we have in this week's new arrivals list.
