Not the Strong Start We Hoped For
This week we have our first reviews of 2020 releases, and, as the title suggests, you can tell it is still January. What we also have, though, is out brand new segment we are calling “Black Label,” where every month, we will feature a record label! this will introduce us – and therefore you – to a whole lot of new music.
Reviews:
Midnight – Rebirth by Blasphemy (Metal Blade)
Haunt – Mind Freeze (Shadow Kingdom)
Odious Mortem – Synesthesia (Willowtip)

2019 Shit We Missed
As we usually do with the first episode of the year, we covered some albums we didn’t get to in the previous year. Since we did some preemptive maintenance late in 2019, we took a different approach to what we chose for the episode. So let us know if there is anything else from 2019 (besides Tool) we should check out!
Reviews:
East of the Wall – NP-Complete (Translation Loss)
Asthma Castle – Mount Crushmore (Hellmistress)
No One Knows What The Dead Think – No One Knows What The Dead Think (Willowtip)
Sleepsculptor – Entry: Dispersal
Easy as 1, 2, 3
We really pushed this whole ABC thing this week, with alphabetized bands for the whole episode. How could we pass that up? Also, thanks to our good friends and “art director”, we now have a name and some art for our Bandcamp segment!
Reviews:
Astronoid – Astronoid (Blood Music)
Carnal Forge – Gun to Mouth Salvation (Vicisolum)
Desecravity – Anathema (Willowtip)
Moving Violation
As we shared through social media, this episode comes to you late because Brian got a new place and Nick helped him move all weekend. Instead of slighting you awesome listeners with a quick show just to get it done, we made you anxiously wait for the real deal. So without further delay, here it is!
Reviews:
Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name (Metal Blade)
Slugdge – Esoteric Malacology (Willowtip)
Voidhanger – Dark Days of the Soul (Agonia)
