ESSENTIAL NEW RELEASES ~ 22nd September / 4th October

 

Take your eye off the ball for a couple of weeks and this is what happens. I keep reading that there isn't as much great new music available these days, but I just don't see it. I blinked and all of a sudden these great albums emerged. Whatever your poison, it's here.

Heidrún ~ Entropia (2025)

FROM THE BAND ~ Entropy is our debut full-length album. Heavy riffs, thunderous vocals, psychedelic solos, and relentless rhythms fuel this collection of 10 powerful tracks. We believe in transforming Chaos through art and collective creation—an entropic force rising from the heart of destruction.

Anointing The Sick Metal Blog :~

Heidrún is a Mexican band whose newly released album 'Entropia' blends gritty, arid desert / stoner rock with an almost metalized crunch. The sound has more depth than their earlier 2021 EP aided by obligatory fuzz but not too much as to suffocate the infectious grooves and I particularly love those spicy lead guitar breaks that are prevalant throughout this album, spiteful one minute, drifting on a bed of wah the next. 

Bands tagged with 'desert' and 'psychedelic' aren't supposed to be as ferocious as this but Heidrún has torn up the rule book with Entropia, harnessing a scorching thrill a minute stoner ride that'll leave you feeling dehydrated and desperate for more.

ESSENTIAL NEW RELEASES ~ 7th September 2025 / 21st September 2025

 A stellar collection of the very best recently released albums that have kept me occupied over the last week or so.

ANOINTING THE SICK #244 ~ Product Of A Sick Imagination

 

Imagination holds no bounds when you listen to an Anointing The Sick Metal Blog show and its a particularly sick one this week, opening  with a track off the incoming sludge monster 'Astralis' by Azell. There's lots of doom, death and general carnage and the filth pit has been very bountiful this week. There are tracks from new albums that have been a highlight for me over the last couple of weeks from Treasondom, Supernaughty, Malthusian, God's Funeral, Heidrun, Molosser Crude and Sars. The show closes with a doom monster from the often surprisingly melodic Pallbearer.

AFGHAN HAZE ~ Sermons of Filth and Disgust (2025)

With riffs like an open wound, comprised of corpulent sinews of glutinous sludge and mutated, psychotic stoner, Sermons of Filth and Disgust by Afghan Haze is their most malevolent and heaviest album yet. Sermons of Filth and Disgust is far from being a modern sounding album, instead it harkens back to one of my favourite era's of sludge where bands such as Sourvein ruled the roost. There is a rawness to the sound but that doesn't detract from the enormity of the doom ladled onto the cacophony of malign grooves infecting each track on an album which pulsates like a diseased heartbeat.
