Mournful Congregation The Incubus Of Karma

Mournful Congregations latest album The Incubus Of Karma is a phenomenal, dark funeral procession into the abyss of eternal torment. Their best to date, full of dark, cold, isolating atmosphere, and crushing, anguish filled heaviness. The intro track The Indwelling Ascent brings you down into the abyss, full of beautiful harmonies and atmosphere like funereal fog. Whispering Spirits capes follows suit, starting out with a agony laden riff. ‘Black Horses ride waveless skies traversed as shapeless voids backless night and void less light’ growls Damon Good. It's dark, it's slightly medieval, and it's excruciatingly atmospheric. It's suicidally beautiful. And it takes you on a journey through the dark, bleak, despair ridden void of eternal death. Side B begins with The Ribaiyat, which starts of with a funeral hymn on an organ, with a flute in the background. ‘Earth could not answer nor the seas that mourn and the thoughtful soul to solitude return’, my God this s

Damn Dice Thriller Killer album review

Damn Dices latest release Thriller Killer is another hard, ball busting energetic heavy rock with melody and hooks. The first track Thrill Of The Kill has all the elements that make Damn Dice unique. The heaviness with a melodic sense and punk attitude. Wallis playing his ace with precision and passion. One of the best metal bands on the scene today. Just balls out heavy melodic metal music. Stories I write is upbeat and a banger. Alex is singing his ass off, his voice is getting better with each record as well, full of attitude and conviction. A voice for the disenchanted.

Heavy as fuck, and punches you in the balls. And th

Dee Calhoun-Go To The Devil album review

Go To the Devil is the latest by Dee Calhoun perhaps better known as a member of Doom band Iron Man, is, a musician out of Frederick, Maryland. He went with his trusty sidekick bassist Lou and did a tour of Europe, and has played Doom festival, and has a cult following, and listening to this album, it's amazing. It's all acoustic, with Dee's powerful, haunting, raw, soulful vocals and lyrics. Common Enemy has a message of let's band together and put our differences aside and take care of our world. And Bedevil me has a very haunting western vibe in a way. More folky than a country vibe, with his soulful mourning vocals. If it doesn't chill your spine, you have no soul. I can get the vibes of Robert Johnson, Johnny Cash, Black Sabbath, and even Bob Dylan all throughout the record. When he hits the high range, he reminds me of a more masculine Axl Rose. It's not a whine, it's a grand God like demand. Its so sublime, and dark. Born(One Horse Town) is
