There's a new Ulthar album coming out in June on 20 Buck Spin and the new song fucking SLAP [Also look at that incredible album artwork (large version). Enter the forest of penises and balls?]

Antifascist post-black/doom metal that reminds me a lot of Dead to a Dying World (though I like this more, tbh). It's a shame this wasn't on everyone's radar sooner. It's gorgeous.

This Rejoice! For the Light Has Come EP is killer skronky blackened death metal (pay no attention to the weird blackgaze genre tag). Produced by Colin Marston so it sounds great, too.

Kombat put out a damn good death metal album this week. But is the kombat mortal? RIFFALITY!

The new Calligram album The Eye is the First Circle is out today via Prosthetic Records. Highly recommended. Listen for yourself here:

Speaking of fucking good, this Wretched Empires EP is everything right now. Allfather's Tom B. doing the yelling. Job well done.

New album from Brazilian black metal band Kaatayra was released today. Killer shit as always.

This is completely insane death metal from Encenathrakh. At a reasonable price... [This review from Metal archives sums it up: "I'm happy this exists and everyone must hear it even if they absolutely know they're going to despise it."].

Speaking of putting dope shit on your wishlist for Friday, Hypnotic Dirge just put up the new Feral Light album for pre-order. If you're not familiar with Feral Light, you should fix that. There are 2 tracks streaming here, so now's your chance.
