ATOMICHAND ~ Live At La Parroquia (2024)

For me to get excited about a split record it has to be pretty exceptional. Lo and behold! Here's one genre bending amalgamation of the heavy stoner psych of Iglesia Atomica and deathly, thrashing grindsters Out Of Hand, that fits the bill perfectly. 

Iglesia Atomica opens the album and I've never heard them rock harder than this. A constant chatter of barbed jams squeal and shriek from the speakers, mutated from the incessant use of the wah pedal and groaning under the weight of stoner riffs, the heaviest I've heard from the band yet. 

Out Of Hand surprisingly features two members of Iglesia Atomica but any other similarities stop there. This section of the album spits deathgrind of the most poisonous kind. Angry, spiteful, with a penchant for exploring the HM-2 sound. A rollercoaster deathride, Out Of Hand live is a raging assault one minute before churning out merciless breakdowns the next.

So, a split featuring two completely different styles of music where Iglesia Atomica fries your brain in acid while Out Of Hand tramples all over the smoking remains.

ANOINTING THE SICK #225 ~ Beyond The Pain Threshold

 

Can you take the pain dished out by The latest Anointing The Sick Show 'Beyond The Pain Threshold' hosted by  Halo of the Goat Radio on 03/9/2024. The show opens with a dose of heavy psych from Nomestomper and closes with the random pick of post sludgsters Battle of Mice. Inbetween, the doom charts is featured as well as one or two albums you can buy for NYP on Bandcamp. I'm really excited to be featuring a new split between Iglesia Atomica and Out Of Hand One side is an awesome stoner jam band, the other an equally killer thrashing death metal band featuring members of Iglesia Atomica. As well as this split, I have tracks from the excellent new albums from Bleed This Earth and SANGRIA

BLEED THIS EARTH ~ The Shapes That Stood in Silence (2024)

Straddling the the various emotions of despair between My Dying Bride and Mournful Congregation, we have a new album by New Zealand's Bleed This Earth called 'The Shapes That Stood in Silence' It's a tragic tale of Parental devotion and ultimate sacrifice that is captured magnificently in four lengthy inconsolably grieving tracks that sweat fear, dismay and a love that has been cruelly snatched away. There is perfect balance between melodic guitar crying out in anguish against an oppressive backdrop of hulking funeralistic doom outraged at the injustice of it all.

I very rarely mention album covers on the Podcast or in reviews but I'm particularly drawn to this one because it cleverly embodies the essence of the album, the spirits of the doting Parents distraught at the realisation that they must forsake their daughter in order to cure the child of the night terrors brought about by their ghastly silhouettes.

SANGRIA (Chile) ~ Esclavo de la Ira (2024)

 I have a long standing affinity with the Chilean sludge/doom band Sangria ever since I contacted them many years ago when trying to find a copy of their first album 'Renaces de la miseria' The band was kind enough to reply with a CD of the album and also some earlier demo's and the track 'El Esbirro' became a regular feature on the various radio stations I was involved with. And so, after the release of  the excellent 'Agnosis' I was keen to try out the destructive force of Sangria's latest album 'Esclavo de la Ira' (Slave Of Wrath). 

The album is still heavy enough to crush the marrow from your bones but there is a slight difference between this and the others. As usual with Sangria, each song structure is fairly straightforward and won't distract you from your punishment, but rather than suffocating you in doomy sludge, 'Esclavo de la Ira' has a darker, enraged sound to it, reminding me of Triptykon in parts. The riffs have an edge to them, not blunted by excess sludge, although there is still enough to cause maximum pain, giving an overall crunchier more violent sound not heard on previous albums. 

ANOINTING THE SICK #224 ~ Wrong Side Of The Dirt

The latest Anointing The Sick Show has been unearthed once more on Halo Of The Goat Radio to bring you more death, doom, thrash and sludge metal carnage. As usual there are Bandcamp nyp albums to discover by Knim, Penny Coffin and Fange plus a hark back to one of the Doom Charts 'best of' albums of 2023 from Mars Red Sky.
