Greetings, Decibel readers!
I’ve an admission to make, I’ve by no means seen the primary Friday the thirteenth movie. I’ve solely seen components two and 4, Freddy Vs. Jason and … Jason X. As I’ve mentioned right here earlier than, half 4 is certainly probably the most enjoyable out of what I’ve seen — pure popcorn horror schlock, it’s nearly on the slapstick stage however completely rides the road. Hopefully me and my movie-night buddies can fill in some cinematic gaps quickly with the remainder of the catalog (notably components one and three).
Anyway, right here’s some metallic for the weekend (… which we’ll hopefully all make it by means of).

Bocc – Obrint El Taüt
Humorous factor, in all my years overlaying metallic, I really haven’t run throughout that many bands from Spain. Like, Wormed and Teitanblood are the one ones that instantly come to thoughts. However I certain am glad I fell into the pit and found this band. Bocc is old-school loss of life doom accomplished the soiled method within the custom of Post-mortem, Winter and Cianide. Punchy sufficient for the pit, however menacing sufficient to only sit there and brood, you possibly can’t probably go improper with this.

Hexvessel – Nocturne
The long-running practitioners of trippy, blackened atmospherics return with their followup to 2023’s Polar Veil. It’s a sound that each evokes the majesty of nature and serves as inspiration for intense introspection. The riffs simply work out that method one way or the other.

Outergods – Dethroned & Devoured
In the meantime, this album simply rips. Followers of blackened loss of life metallic will come for crushing rhythms, followers of grindcore will keep for the unhinged vitality of all of it.

Shrinkwrap Killers – Feed the Clones Pt. 2
And now for these of you simply on the lookout for one thing bizarre. It’s like if Bizarre Al simply made an album in his traditional type however combined in parts of Kind O Unfavourable, Bauhaus, and Pleasure Division. I could be completely off-base with what really impressed the band, however that’s at the very least what jumps out at me.

Sigh – I Noticed the World Finish (Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV)
It was an actual pleasure to lastly witness Sigh carry out reside at Maryland Deathfest this yr, and so it’s double-your-pleasure to get a rerecording of Hangman’s Hymn. Whereas the earlier model had a reducing sound that hewed to the middle of your mind (particularly the guitars), this new imagining has an all-enveloping, balanced high quality. I really like Hangman’s Hymn because it was, however this can be a fairly cool method to exhume the songs and provides them new life.
