Despite living through a brief disbanding from 2011 to 2012 and a few lineup changes and additions, Nashville’s death thrashers Iraconji (named after the smallest and deadliest jellyfish, Irukandji) have not only soldiered on but recently released their debut full length Global Genocide. Its an album full of throwback thrash, pulse quickening death metal, and soaring lead guitar work. As if that’s not enough, the albums clean production gives the already sharp musicianship an even tighter edge.

Here we are at the dawn of October. One of the finest months of the year, obviously. What better way to kick it off than with a stacked list of metal that is as varied as the many horror movies you need to watch over the next 31 days. Anyway, Initial Descent knows you need it so, this week we have the amazing new album The Dark Hereafter from Winterfylleth, a jazzy avant-garde self titled debut from Brain Tentacles, Okkultokrati‘s Raspberry Dawn that is satan rock at it’s finest and of course Sorceress from everyone’s favorite target Opeth. For everyone still mad about the whole no death metal thing, news flash, they’re still great. Also Veilburner returns with their third full length of inherently evil and challenging black/death/experimental The Obscene Rite and Halshug cracks the earth in half with their brutal new album Sort Sind. Plenty here for you to enjoy so without further delay, get busy after the jump. Continue reading
