Black Breath – Heavy Breathing
What is the best thing Entombed has done since Wolverine Blues? It’s Seattle, Washington’s Black Breath and their album Heavy Breathing.
Reviews – Audio
Ghost – Opus Eponymous
“This is not the girls music. This is unkind. There are no engines allowed. It’s the rock music”
Sons of Tonatiuh – s/t
Take the buzzsaw riffage of more recent Darkthrone and the piss ‘n malt liquor of Eyehategod, with some decidedly pissed off black metal vocals, and change tempos frequently. You’ve got yourself a solid eight-song, 35 minute debut.
haarp – The Filth
The Filth shows enough promise that I’m curious to see what haarp come up with for their next record.
At The Soundawn – Shifting
Meravigliosamente malinconico (beautifully melancholic) is the best way to describe At The Soundawn as Shifting is an intensely refreshing listen, leaving you with moments of nostalgia to acrylic imagery of future endeavours.
Triptykon – Shatter EP
Containing three additional songs taken from the album sessions that just didn’t fit within the parameters of the album plus two live songs recorded live at the band’s performance at the 2010 Roadburn Festival, Shatter is every bit as essential as the full length is.
Postcards From Natalie Zed: Set #7
Hellbound readers, we’re sure that by now you are all familiar with our Natalie Zed, right? Natalie was our big grand prize winner way back in January, taking home more than 50 CDs + and shortly after she received her huge box ‘o CDs, Ms. Zed asked us over at Hellbound HQ if we’d be interested in running reviews of her winnings if she did postcard sized reviews of the albums. How could we say no?
She’s reviewed all the original CDs and is now reviewing newer things that have made their way to her. Here is part seven of her ongoing series of what we like to call “Postcards With Natalie Zed”…
Cradle of Filth – Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa
This is a tremendous return to form for Cradle of Filth, their best album since Midian, and hopefully the catalyst for a creative renaissance. Colour this skeptic pleasantly surprised
Dukatalon – Saved by Fear
A band from Israel that sounds like Eyehategod!? Okay Relapse, you’ve piqued my curiosity…
Black Sleep of Kali – Our Slow Decay
If you’re into Torche, Baroness, Harvey Milk or the Melvins—especially their most recent output—then Black Sleep of Kali is your new band.
