greetings, you fucks.
























Origin - A Coming Into Existence


Origin is a Technical Brutal Death band. They are one of my personal favorites, although I dig the self-titled a little more; this is probably what many general death metal fans would enjoy. Really solid, quick riffing. Strongly Recommended. 8 out of 10 on my metaphorical scale.


























Masayuki Takayangi - Eclipse (1975)

This is a really interesting record that I found on another blog, actually. It blends some Jap folkish stuff, with a lot of free form, somewhat atonal element. Noise is also in abundance on the last track. This shit is fucking intense.






















Electric Wizard - Witchcult Today (2007)



Electric Wizard is a doom metal band that could actually create a sound wall of evil (only equaled by the self-titled Black Sabbath record). The songs on the new album definitely display the indulgences of drug abuse, and vintage equipment. The album opens up with the title track "Witchcult Today", and ends on the eleven minute epic "Saturnine". Witchcult Today isn't really what I typically expected from Electric Wizard; however, I mean that in the best possible way. My expectations were not only exceeded, but these recordings are a testament to the true guitar sound of the late 1960's cult psych doom. Strongly recommended for anyone with a bong in hand and an obsession with horror flicks. I give a near perfect 9 out of 10. It's great. Blah...Blah...
