Altaar - Dødsønske tape (2009)

Country: Norway
Label: Self-released
Total playing time: 28:38

I found out about Altaar after recieving one of their pins at SXSW a couple weeks ago, and was very pleasantly surprised when I got around to hearing this tape. At the same time, I also realized that missing their performance at the festival was a huge fail. Anyway, this 28 minute ep of "Blasphemous funeral ambient doom" will most-likely leave you craving more. The first edition was limited to only 66 copies but was later reissued by Roggbif Records.

Tracklist:

1. Dødsønske
2. Void Se Vitaa Privaare
3. Upon The Blaack Eaarth
4. Blaack Altaar
5. Spltscnd

Dispirit - Rehearsal At Oboroten (2010)

Here is the self-released demo tape from the SF bay area based doom/black metal band, Dispirit, recorded live on February 2nd, 2010. This tape unveils a lo-fi blend of hypnotic drone-like passages, chaotic spurts of horrifying dissonance, and sporatic guitar harmonies that seem to counter-balance the barrage of tortured noise.

1. Ixtab's Lure (18:52)
2. Bitumen Amnii (12:23)

Coffinworm - When All Became None (2010)

I figured it would be best to kick-off this blog with a recent discovery that I absolutely love. Coffinworm play a unique style of sludge that can be described as dark, filthy, disgusting, loathsome, and fucking heavy from beginning to end. This album is a must-have for fans of sludge, crust, doom, and black metal.

1. Blood Born Doom
2. Start Saving for Your Funeral
3. Strip Nude for Your Killer
4. Spitting in Infinity's Asshole
5. High On the Reek of Your Burning Remains
6. The Sadistic Rites of Count Tabernacula
