The Metal Review - 10th April 2021.

 

As it's been ages since I updated this goshawful piss hole of a blog, what better time to do so than now? "How about six months ago, y'bastard?" you'll say, and you'd be right!

Anyway, here's some of the good shit I've been listening to this week on Bandcamp, PR mailing lists and YouTube. All come heartily recommeneded:

Duende en la Penumbra - "That Same Evergreen I Love So Well, Despite the Way Its Shadows Make Me Sad" (2020)

It would be too easy to say that the Covid 19 lockdown is taking its toll. I may well be at the 'dressing up like Marie Antoinette' stage, but that's more recreational, and frankly that's how most Saturdays go for me, as a rule.

No, what has really taken a toll is this album. This shining disc of glistening ordure. This huge pimple on the collective arse of metal. 

How bad is it? It's the last thing cute baby seals hear as some gore splatted Canadian sets about them with a length of wood. It makes cystitis in Slough sound like a viable career option.
