Fancy meeting you here, again, for another list of new releases. Now that we’ve completely moved into February what was your favorite(s) from January? Mine are Mutagenic Host, Faithxtractor, and Dax Riggs. Now show me yours…I mean, that’s how this works and NO not that, get your mind right out of the gutter. Dangit man. Anyway, we are entering February on a seriously high note with sludge from -(16)-, sweepingly epic black metal from Saor, beatdown ass-kickin’ death metal from Open Kasket, and methodically heavy death / doom from Norilsk. And that’s not even the whole list, we’re just getting warmed up! Go feast your eyes on the rest and pick out a few favorites. Don’t forget to support them while you’re at it, that is the point of all this, after all. Hop to it and we’ll be seeing you here throughout the week.
