Will do!

So fkn good! The lyrics had me hanging onto every word, a bit gleeful, a bit disturbed, and the songs are so well-crafted. The first minute or so I was like "what is this?" and then... ohhhhhhhh...

Thanks to @blackmetalarchives.bsky.social for turning me on to this!

Doom Folk, by Buzzard 12 track album

Sabbathy basement folk with brilliant, scathingly funny lyrics, a fairly serious undermining of civilization and the war gods. Crafted, catchy songs with banjo, guitars clean and dirty. The Satanic Woody Guthrie.

Definitely! I was really taken aback when I heard it, like whoah where did this come from?! Really appreciate the way she plays as a fingerstyle guitarist myself. Psyched to get my copy in the mail when it comes out.

Preview track sounds fkn awesome

Love those keys ;-)

Songs From The Unseen, The Unsaid and The Unborn / The Sun Will Still Shine When You Die, by Emmaleen Tangleweed 17 track album

Haunting fingerpicking with powerful, smoky female vocals. Folk blues with Mediterranean whispers. A mastery of mood and feel. Rolling rhythms and soulful vocals keep a light aloft through the darkness.

Hounds of Blood - World Eaters Hounds of Blood - World Eaters, a 5 track album

World Eaters “Hounds of Blood”

Mid-tempo war metal. With an admirable ethos (“chainaxe to the face of bigotry”) and crushing tank riffage, they’re innovating in the Bolt Thrower lineage. Enjoyable originality alongside the colossal breakdowns here.

Holy fkn shit this is amazing. Will be writing a review for sure but delving deep right now.

Do you like forcing electronic devices to make unusual sounds? Then you might belong on this list!

PULZÁLÓ DOBOK TISZTÍTJÁK MEG AZ EGET, by SHUM 10 track album

Arty industrial black metal played with a freedom from convention & genre arising from desperation. The sound of the crushed hopes of another lost generation of young Hungarians. Excising the epigenetics of oppression through harsh noise and metallic cacophony.

Thanks for sharing! I will check it out, and if it's a sound I feel like I can write about well, will write about it. If not, it's probably just not my genre -- no disrespect to any fellow musicians intended!

We love @ampwall.com's mission to build a music platform that builds community not competition. Just uploaded our new EP "Inner and Outer Terrain" there. Dark, adventurous post-punk.

Kill two birds with one stone and check us out and Ampwall too!

Inner and Outer Terrain by Hollow Howl Hollow Howl are everything about an alternative band that I would put together if I was making my ideal alternative band.

@hollowhowlband.bsky.social aren't black metal, they aren't extreme metal, they aren't metal at all. However, they are fucking brilliant. Join me on the BMA as I explain why.

Forces of Nature's Transformation, by Lifeless Dark 9 track album

Proof that Slayer is folk music and thrash metal will live forever. Political punk metal from Boston with blistering riffs and sick breakdowns. Nausea vibe from the female lead vocals. Strum on folk musicians of the apocalypse!

Horse Epic Hollow Howl · Horse Epic · Song · 2024

The mix of Siouxsie & The Banshees and Ennio Morricone you always dreamed of.

New single out now! Thanks so much for checking it out.

Definitely! The harmonica sounds great, and is totally novel in this type of music.

I listened to and dug the whole recording. It has a fun rock n roll side to it, very enjoyable, still nice and heavy. Looking forward to listening in the car instead of over the tinny laptop speakers!

Sick harmonica playing! Crust n' roll! Gonna keep listening.
