Anything from Brendan Sloan automatically has my attention, and as expected, the Convulsing part of this earth-heaving split is excellent blackened death metal, but the Siberian Hell Sounds track, in its blackened grind glory, totally floored me. Discovering this five years after its release has been one of 2022’s unexpected delights. SHS, perhaps peaking here, never released anything thereafter, and while Convulsing has improved, this dissonant and non-Euclidean work is mandatory listening. Ippocalyptica

I heard a recent 2021 metal album that was, in two words, fucking atrocious (hint - the band starts with "Kos" & has some of the worst album art in recent memory). With the sound of that shitty album still ringing in my ears, I went to my go-to band to wash it away: Blaze of Perdition. This album is just so deep, complex & epic with my favorite Sonneillon vocals to date. But definitely check "Ashes Remain" the next time you hear a superficial band trying too hard. It will make you believe again. bcb723
The stygian duo explore themes of gender dysphoria and oppressive institutions through sludgy doom with a pitch-black underbelly. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2021
