Lo-fi psycho thrash black metal assault. Deceptively well crafted with haunting 80s horror film undertones and hidden sounds and voices that only appear upon multiple listens. Brought to us by a duo of mad zealots that stalk the gloom and drear of Glaswegian closes.

About
On 23rd April, Southern Lord shall release the debut full-length album from The Lord, Forest Nocturne, first as a special LP Record Store Day release!
Forest Nocturne sees Anderson taking cues from legendary film composers: John Carpenter and Bernard Hermann, in order to create cinematic landscapes which are heavy with tension, and offset by the injection of lethal doses of early 90s Scandinavian Death Metal - with Attila Csihar (of notorious Norwegian black metal band Mayhem) lending his putrid vocals to final track ‘Triumph of the Oak’.
For Forest Nocturne, Anderson worked with renowned producer Brad Wood. Dan Seagrave's epic and fantastical style is instantly recognizable on the album's stunning artwork, something which seems to depict an ancient and unknowable force in the woodlands. Forest Nocturne is described by Anderson as “the music of the night”, but inspired by imagery conjured on daytime hikes, and majestic and beautiful trees, which he sees as survivors - and perhaps the last known connection that we have to an ancient world, and acting as a connector between past, present and future of the human race and of our time on this planet.

Tlazcaltiliztli
by Tzompantli
Tracklist:
1.Yaohuehuetl 01:18
2.Tlatzintilli 04:33
3.Tlazcaltiliztli 04:29
4.Eltequi 04:40
5.Ohtlatocopailcahualuztli 04:17
6.Tlamanalli 05:52
7.Yaotiacahuanetzli 07:37
A Tzompantli, in bygone days, was a rack used to display human skulls, often of enemies or sacrifices, in several Mesoamerican civilizations. In 2022, Tzompantli is a beyond crushing Death Doom war march built on a bedrock of Native / Indigenous themes, rituals and history, illuminating the splendor, brutality and despair within.
Nearly three years after the band’s self-released EP, Tzompantli’s debut full length presents the first smoke-conjured specter to manifest materially. ‘Tlazcaltiliztli’, a ritual ceremony that translates to; ‘nourishing the fire and sun with blood’, is imbued with the spirit of Native inspiration that dwells deep within the heart and soul of the project and is skillfully weaved into a traditional bludgeoning framework of spine-severing savagery and melancholic anguish. On the ritualistic ‘Eltequi’ (to cut the chest open and extract the heart as an offering) the band’s unification of native / folk instrumentation and heaviness becomes one in the same, opening vast new horizons for where this sound can go.
‘Tlazcaltiliztli’ is dedicated, and an offering, to the indigenous peoples, nations & tribes of the North, South, East & West of the American continents. It marks a fearsome and spirited new vision for the Death Metal underground.

About
Following up their hugely respected 2 demos (also available as a compilation) and fairly recent 7”, CHAOTIAN are back to release ultimate Death Metal barbarity into the underground in the form of their debut full length. Storming into life with a rotten amalgamation of putrescent riffing and blastbeats, the instrumental unity of this Danish titan is a juggernaut of pure filth. It is telling when a band can have those super groovy pinch harmonic laden riffs and not making them sound like all the others. This may seem a weirdly specific observation (perhaps a guitarist just being a guitarist) but it makes all the difference with heaviness, intensity and also the catchiness on the records. When met with the sewer-spewing vocals and weird dissonant spasms in the music, it doesn’t take long to recognise this will be a truly warped and maniacally brutal experience of Death Metal might.
Interlinking primitive hooks that grasp you by the throat then transcend into these weird effects or spacious riffs, there’s nothing predictable about the album yet it has that familiar feeling that all good Death Metal has where it feels a bit daunting, unnerving and yet you cannot escape it. Obviously Denmark and this trio does not let the scene down. Amazingly this small country seems to have so much diversity in their rotten underground movement and CHAOTIAN are a shining example who embody the grotesqueries, masterful songwriting and tight musicianship that has become associated with this otherwise pretty and peaceful nation. It explains that mysterious gurgling from the sewers at least!
Bludgeoning, cavernous and ultimately otherworldly, CHAOTIAN masterfully combine the cerebral and cosmic with brutish, old school music that is damned heavy and doesn’t feel pretentious nor directionless. Their debut LP is not just as strong as their previous works, but a more refined and complete vision, showcasing the bands full potential (so far)…

Thlurm
The Thlurm Must Die & Dungeon Scum
Wise Blood Records
29 April 2022
What in the hellish fuck is THLURM? The word almost gets stuck on your tongue like a stubborn acid tab. THLURM is the curious moniker of the black/punk/death/grind solo project created in the crypts of Indiana by Austin Sipes.
You can padlock your doors and bar your basement windows, but THLURM will still infiltrate your consciousness when Wise Blood Records releases the project’s first two demos on April 29th. The Thlurm Must Die is the band’s initial snarl of activity. Picture DEVIL MASTER’s slaytanic surf mutated with RUDIMENTARY PENI’s DNA and the septic splatter from ‘80s Troma movies. The most recent demo Dungeon Scum submerges their sound in even more blackened slime. But the raw recordings reveal a project in evolutionary growth; a formidable foe growing stronger.
THLURM’s demo release is part of Wise Blood’s demo series to support up and coming regional artists. Get toxic wasted with THLURM and infect your friends with some lethal blackened punk.
