Waste of Space Orchestra delivers an immaculately produced fusion of doom metal, psych and space rock, but the performances and compositions can be lackluster.
Chelsea Wolfe’s foray into the slow and heavy sounds of doom/atmospheric sludge metal is admirable and mostly successful, but does come with some growing pains.
Here’s the second single from Chelsea Wolfe’s heavy new album Hiss Spun. “Vex” has pretty much all the qualities I liked about “16 Psyche,” but I especially love the grim, growled vocals lent by Aaron Turner this time. Hiss Spun is out September 22 through Sargent House.
New Zealand’s Ulcerate comes through with a powerful fusion of brutal death metal and atmospheric sludge on new single “Extinguished Light.” From the LP Shrines of Paralysis, out October 28 via Relapse.
Parisian blackgaze pioneers Alcest bring back the screams in this lead single from their upcoming LP Kodama, out September 30 via Prophecy Productions.
Luonnon harmonia ja vihreä liekki by Abyssion
On this new (mini-)album, Finnish duo Abyssion comes through with a somewhat psychedelic brand of post-metal. Out today on Svart Records.
