Misery - From Where the Sun Never Shines

Misery - From Where the Sun Never Shines is raw and heavy-as-fuck crust with some fantastic bass riffage. Apparently these guys have been around since 1987, they certainly don't seem to be slowing down! Here's a review from Old Punks Never Die.

Deus Otiosus - Murderer

Artwork by Renata Rojo.

Deus Otiosus is a death metal band from Denmark (yay). Their album Murderer is solid death metal with elements of trash and black metal. It's old school in that it isn't a display of technicality, it also has a nice fat production with some seriously crunchy guitars. Read the review from Lurkers Path and one from The Metal Archives.

Palace of Worms - Lifting the Veil

Palace of Worms's Lifting the Veil was originally released on tape by Flenser Records, and has now been made available as a free download on the band's own Bandcamp. Raw, piously orthodox black metal as mentioned in this review from Lurkers Path. And check out that sad little fella, all lifting that veil. Isn't he a little cute?
