“…Fuck man, I just wanna go home” vocalist Doug Moore lambasts on “The Greatest City on Earth.” Thematically, Exhaust channels the most pissed-off version of Pyrrhon into a thirty-eight minute record, a record made by people broken down by the ever-growing financial strains of living in their home of New York City. What’s the deal with inflation anyway?

Pneuma Hagion – From Beyond Review
Pneuma Hagion are back and they’re meaner than ever. From impressive lyrical content about a tyrant taking control of the known world by force and murdering any dissidents to their empire to earth-shattering riffs and blasts, the most impressive thing about Pneuma Hagion is that it’s just two people. May them blow the winds of tyranny with their crushing riffs.

Nebülith – Feel Good Music for the End of the World Vol. 1 Review
Stoner as a genre often gets a bad rep. Sure, it’s not like the stereotypical act with a horrendously nasal vocalist, singing arhythmically over repetitive overlong songs does not exist, but similarly, many unique acts exists that are more fluid in tempo and that are willing to take other influences in. Feel good music or feel bad music?

Aseitas – Eden Trough Review
Experimentation is abundant in the extreme bounds of metal today. While a lot of bands look for something worthwhile by trying odd techniques, it’s easy to lose sight of working on a defining sound, something that makes a band have that special pull divorced from just pure technique.

As he ages, Bobo finds himself drawn to death/doom music, much like an older bear preferring scavenging over chasing prey. He enjoys watching it slowly die, whether it’s a fresh corpse or a decomposed cadaver. Though he usually prefers the latter, Void Witch caught him hungry enough to listen to their final pleas. How quickly will he tear them apart?

Cephalotripsy – Epigenetic Neurogenesis Review
Artistic depth has two possible extremes. One extreme tries to express itself with an increasingly diverse set of stylistic ideas, choosing to portray emotions with whatever musical idea suits them best. The other extreme of artistic depth is the exploration of a single idea from as many angles as possible. Robert Schumann once hammered the same a note on his piano until he went mad, looking for possibly the perfect expression of that one note. Steve Reich explored the shifting of rhythms, creating rhythmic polymeters as dense as they were fascinating. Cephalotripsy slam. And they do it a lot.

Sumac – The Healer Review
Brian Cook’s bass rumbles intently along in “Yellow Dawn”, Aaron Turner’s howls and screeching guitar solos are caustic, and Nick Yacyshyn’s drums regularly steal the show with powerfully precise hits. Sounds like our alligator is hungry for some SUMAC.
