So this post contains (pretty much) all of my favorite mp3s from 2009. I have not put them in any sort of preferential order. These are sorted by artist in alphabetical order.

This has been another…

Krallice is Mick Barr, Colin Marston, Lev Weinstein, and Nick McMaster. They play a NYC-variant of nonsatanist blackmetal. Their 2nd album, Dimensional Bleedthrough comes out Nov 10 on Profound Lore.

The album’s 7 tracks clock in at 77 minutes and are filled with all the shredding your inner metalhead demands (but which has been unpopular in many an indierock circle). The vocals are a bit higher in the mix this time which is not a great thing for me given my dislike of cookie monster style vocals. However, Voivod is named in their press release as an influence. So expect, a proggy current running through the album. This makes sense as the Colin Marston is 1/2 of the extra proggy Behold… The Arctopus.

Here is all 11:10 of Dimensional Bleedthrough’s title track.

Upcoming Show:

Liturgy grew from the mind of Hunter Hunt-Hendrix. Liturgy is a black metal band, that said these guys definitely eschew the corpsepaint of your average black metal outfit. This is…

I know this is not for everyone. If you grew up listening to thrash and speed metal like I did, this is a great place to reconnect with your inner metalhead.

After two self-released cassettes and a 12″, Liturgy have put out their debut album on underground label 20 Buck Spin. Renihilation was released on CD back in August, and the LP is due out in October. In mixing and mastering the album, the band worked with fellow NYCblackmetalhead and Krallice member Colin Marston.
