Ziege: Kadaverknast
Raw and unpolished energy radiates through the room with this second release by Münster-based Black Metal + whatever fits combo Ziege.
(Lower Class Kids Records)
Jæhzorn: Weiderecht
Having been happy enough to listen into this EP before release because of the premiere on Lower Rhine Underground, I got stuck on the ferocious vocals and quite unique Black Metal tone.
(Fucking Kill Records, Zanns Records)
Poppy Wizard: Point & Shoot
These boys returned with an unfiltered gazey tone that will probably have the heart of every Title Fight fan skip a beat. Twisting in quite some flirts with Hardcore Punk, these three tracks will make you want more.
(Supervillain PR & Records)
Dungeon Keeper: Dungeon Metal Masters
What can I say except the fact that you are always supposed to listen to Dungeon Keeper. This band delivers exactly what you are looking for once again. Never miss on any of these releases!
(Sonic Raid Records)
Passed Out: Web of Lies
I can still remember that the story feed on the Lower Rhine Underground channel was entirely flooded with this EP when it came out. Great and refreshing Hardcore tone right in the middle of the currently thriving Rhineline Hardcore scene.
(Self-Released)
kotzschmerztablette: Die Elenden
When having spent quite some time browsing new releases, I came across this latest release by Dortmund-based Post-Punk outfit kotzschmerztablette. Combining great nuances of Post-Punk and adjacent genres, especially the snotty vocals had me come back to this release numerous times this year.
(Self-Released)
Ch’ahom: Covered in the Priests Black Shit
After the release of their highly acclaimed full-length Knots of Abhorrence, Ch’ahom just single-handedly throw a raw demo at you that once again marked their position in the scene.
(Self-Released)
Primitive Slaughter: Endless Raids
If you are looking for a decent way to get your ears blasted off, I can highly recommend starting off with this insanse EP by Primitive Slaughter.
(AlphaGoat Records)
Sensu Stricto: Tower of Execution
I can still hear (Scalpture) Felix ringing in my ears that he seeks raw and aggressive Death Metal that comes from the gut. This was what I recommended to him – listen to Sensu Stricto.
(Self-Released)
Satanic Black Blood: Sulphuric Demonomancy
I am still pretty convinced that there has to be something about the water of the city of Osnabrück. Once again, this city comes across with a combo that is put together by names that should be known to quite a lot of people, bringing forth one of the filthiest debut releases of this year.
(De Pankraker Records)
Moral Rot: why can nothing ever just be nice
Fierce, snapping and straight to your face, this debut release by Moral Rot should have been on your scope. If not, listen to it and ask yourself why nothing can ever just be nice.
(Santa Diabla, Institut für Mentale Hygiene)
