ANOINTING THE SICK #242 ~ High Velocity Impact


Prepare to be double tapped by the latest Anointing The Sick Metal Blog Show 'High Velocity Impact.' Levels of depravity are varied with a post sludge opener from Guiltless and a flagellating close from arch rip fiends Graveripper. Inbetween I've highlighted tracks from recently released albums that have shaken the Anointing The Sick Metal Blog foundations from Hibernaut, Red Vinter, Three Towers and The Bonnevilles as well as songs from highly recommended albums released last year. The showpiece track is a droning sludgy doom  monster from Azimut while the filth pit dredged up El Cerdo all slimy and dripping!

BLACK HELIUM ~ The Animals Are Coming (2025)

 


BIO
Black Helium are a three piece psychedelic rock band based in London. Never afraid to stray from the beaten path, Stuart Gray, Beck Harvey and Diogo Gomes fearlessly traverse aural hallucinatory soundscapes; from detuned Neanderthal rock to deep oceans of introspective blissed out psych.   

REVIEW

The new album by Black Helium 'The Animals Are Coming' is now available to buy and ready and willing to fry your brain into a heavy psych stupor. The album follows a similar pattern to the band's previous full length 'UM' with shorter songs book-ended either end by much longer, multi structured tracks. What I love about Black Helium is their capacity  to span several decades of underground music genres. The vocals are seemingly plucked from the 60's, smooth, dreamy and seemingly a safe haven, that is, until a splash of acid guitar sounding like a 70's Japanese freak out band inflames your hearing, and a hefty dose of modern sounding stoner metal intermittently infused with doom bakes what's left.
The underbelly of the album, two tracks of  spacey psych engrained with a surprisingly funky bass escorts your mind into the void and onto the more scathing 'Up On A Hill'  before 'Inside The Horror Mask' closes this excellent album with a homage to Hawkwind.

ANOINTING THE SICK #241 ~ The Wounds I Bear


Its time for more purulent discharge in the form of another Anointing The Sick Show highlighting the very best in extreme metal. There is a heavy doom chart prescence this week with the show kicking off with Italian stoners Rhino. Much of this episode contains stoner doom bands but the filth pit has spewed forth some inpenetrable blackened deathgrind in the form of Maurda. As usual, I've highlighted some albums you may have missed last year but the second part of the show gives a taste of what has been on offer over the last few weeks and are highly recommended by the Blog. The show closes  with a killer song from 2014 from stoner doomsters Let It Breathe.
