SUFFOCATION AND GOATWHORE
by theseseans (NYC)
Two new records I have rocking hard lately are Suffocation's Blood Oath and Goatwhore's Carving Out The Eyes Of God. Suffocation continue their twenty year death metal onslaught with Blood Oath, riffs and tempos are slowed a bit with this record, but surely it isn't "The Black Album." Blood Oath is still a punishing, punishing listen, and Mike Smith remains one of my favorite death metal drummers. The dude sounds like a metronome, a really, really, abrasive metronome. If you have any interest in "brutal death metal" at all, definitely give this record a spin. 
Goatwhore on the other hand turn in an unexpected gem with Carving Out The Eyes Of God. Unlike earlier albums, this record reeks of early thrash influence (definitely not a thrash record itself) that works incredibly well with Goatwhore's balls first approach to the black metal aesthetic. This record sounds great too, the guitar is mixed way up front, but not in a cocky or over powering way. Sammy Duet's guitar playing takes center stage on Carving Out The Eyes Of God with his most inspired riffs and lead work to date.
Carving Out The Eyes Of God is out now on Metal Blade Records, while Blood Oath comes out next Tuesday July 14th via Nuclear Blast. Read more for some super fun older videos from both bands.
Suffocation - "Abomination Reborn"
Possibly my favorite death metal song of all time.
Goatwhore - Alchemy Of The Black Sun Cult"
That tempo shift is badass.
CRUSTCAKE PICKS: NYC SHOWS 7/9 - 7/15
by theseseans (NYC)
This Saturday I will be heading to one of the shittiest bars to play in all of Williamsburg, Rock Star Bar, to catch Black Anvil. Black Anvil are NYC's own psyched out black metal force which features Paul from Kill Your Idols, and that dude always puts on a good show. Sunday night meets Clive Candy's excellently descripted Atheist, playing with one of my favorite young death metal bands The Faceless at B. B. Kings. If all that isn't enough for you Precious Metal is bringing out Unearthly Trance along with the electronic metal styling of Harpoon and Casket Architects, I can feel the seizures starting already.
See you out there.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER STREAM 'A SELECTION UNNATURAL'
[Stream]: The Black Dahlia Mruder - "A Selection Unnatural"
The Black Dahlia Murder have got that whole Swedish death metal thing down. And we mean that in the best way possible: they have the ability to create some seriously offensive death metal, and make it catchy as fuck (in metal terms, of course). Decibel even went so far as to say (something along the lines of) "'Everything Went Black' is the best At The Gates song they never wrote!" Spot On.
For their new record Deflorate, TBDM have pushed themselves a little, as the new single "A Selection Unnatural" is less "catchy," and more face-fucking brutal. Follow the link above to Revoler Magazine to hear the song and check out their interview. Read more for album details and tour dates.
