Anti-Peat's Perplexing Positions

Putred – Megalit al Putrefac​ț​iei Memento Mori ~ Death Metal

You see, Putred’s very name suggests all the adjectives I’ll be wanting for their brand of death metal. Words like filthy, nasty, foul, and gruesome. Let’s decompose.

Wyatt E – Zam​ā​ru Ultu Qereb Ziqquratu Part 1 Heavy Psych Sounds ~ Doom Metal

Music for staring balefully at deserts is music for staring balefully at deserts, wherever you are. Yet those Middle Eastern accents are prominent, and so too is a certain stoner drone doom vibe. Wyatt E are wearing a lot of hats here. And it’s glorious.

besna-krasno
Besna – Krásno Independent ~ Post Metal

Besna are one of the bands that don’t need a pair of Slovakia-issued rose-tinted glasses to enjoy. Their latest album, Krásno, combines post-metal with a very interesting form of progressive metal. And it’s all interspersed with excellent lyrics that are an unobtrusive but very clear testimony to today’s rotting society. Together we rot!

Uulliata Digir - Uulliata Digir 01
Uulliata Digir – Uulliata Digir Independent ~ Progressive Metal / Sludge Metal / Folk Metal / Darkjazz
