Constant Doubt - 2010 Demo

What what what? TWO posts? Yes.

Constant Doubt is the band of a cool guy over on the VF punk forums. Since I'm mod there and he actually knows what the fuck he's talking about and doesn't start shit, I'm posting his demo here. It's also not too bad, so there's that too. Production is utter crap and feedback permeates the entire sound (sounds almost like it was recorded live, not in a studio), but if you like noisy/discordant hardcore, you probably wouldn't mind it at all. I mean, I'll be honest, it's not the ZOMG BEST HARDCORE RECORD EVAR, but fuck, it's a DIY release by a friends band, it has some nice slow sludgy parts that almost border on early Swans and it's fucking free, so who gives a shit. It's a competent album and that's all that fucking matters.

So it's been brought to my attention that there actually isn't any production at all, and the whole thing really was recorded live. Onto a camcorder. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't sound worse knowing that.

About fuck...

I said fuck a whole lot in the last post. It's like I'm trying to meet some quota I feel behind on during my time away from here.

Fuck it.

Glasses - Glasses

Blah, not gonna say shit about "oh maybe I'm back, maybe I'm not" because fuck if I know. Point is, I'm here now, and with something awesome.

Glasses is a German hardcore band, and the best way I can put it is it's a fucking female fronted Ghostlimb. RIDICULOUSLY angry and pissed off, but fucking melodic as all hell too. Found them through last.fm when I asked for a Ghostlimb/Swarrrm/Skarp station, and this is pretty much the single best thing it could have shit out into my eager ears. 'Your Terms' is one of the catchiest fucking pieces of rage I've ever heard, and the broad fronting them has some scary raspy "I fucking hate you and will kill you with sound all Maub'Dib style motherfucker" vocals going on, and it rules. Follow this blog enough and you know I have a aural hard-on for chick vocalists who can actually fucking do vocals, and this girl fucking delivers.

Enjoy you miscreants.

Wormwood

Oh look, I'm finally getting around to posting something that's been in my MF account since last February.

Wormwood is awesome. If you liked the last track on There Is Nothing Eternal Exists by Muga, with the organ and all, you'd like this. Freaked out carnival sludge, heavy and spooky. The addition of an organ really makes it here, but I haven't listened to them recently enough to provide more of a description than that. Oh well, enjoy two albums. Am I back?

Funeralopolis 200%

Oh hi there.

This isn't something typical of what I post (when I do), besides that it's awesome. A while back someone on /mu/ took the track Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard, a slow, plodding heavy as fuck doom/stoner song and sped it up 200%. The result is a thrashing gnarly mess of riffs that shreds through your soul. Fucking awesome track. Whoever you are random /mu/tant, I salute you.

I have a request

Ok, not one to usually do this, but if anyone can find a FULL recording of this (likely a live one), I will be eternally grateful. It's known as "The Monster", and it's a 30+ minute long track by Nux Vomica. This little excerpt is flat out amazing, and I'd love to hear the full thing.

Worth listening to even if you don't have the full version.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE / The Warren of Snares

Anyone still out there? No? Cool.

This here is the Warren Of Snares trilogy by Fall of Efrafa. They call themselves post hardcore, but they sound like neocrust to me (sorry guys, know you dislike the tag but that's what you sound like). Anyways, music. Three albums of epic sweeping emotional melodic heaviness, all to the tune of Richard Adam's Watership Down. This is really some of the best music I have, long songs that never overstay their welcome, complex melodies that latch their hooks into you, a pulsing underlying anger always threatening to overtake everything, all wrapped up in one of the most complete concepts ever realised in music. Listen to it in order, all at once.

Links removed at request of band. You should be able to find them for purchase pretty easily though.

I know Owsla is missing track seven, that's on purpose as it's a bonus track that isn't actually a part of the trilogy. I may upload it later along with stuff like their split, demo, and Tharn.

Also, just because of the quote I used in the title, have some Altered Beast Demo. Short fast and fun thrashcore. Fuck yea, good to be back in business.
