I am ridiculously excited for this concert, especially for Immolation.

They're playing the Mod Club (Toronto) on October 4th.

Come on, October.

Immolation

Track: Father, You're not a Father

Artist: Immolation

Album: Close to a World Below

Genre: Brutal/Technical Death Metal

Sounds Like: Ulcerate, Incantation, Portal

Original, tight Death Metal riffing, excellent drums, and quality lyrics.

Top Notch song writing on what is probably Immolation's strongest work.

I'm not a big fan of the vocals on their other albums, but knowing the lyrics seriously helps fix that.

'Bless me, Father, for you've sinned against me.

It's been one week since you've raped me. . .'

Note: It was the hardest picking a track to represent this album. The opening track, title track, and 'Put my Hand in the Fire' are also stellar.

Arghoslent

Track: Dog and Broom

Artist: Arghoslent

Album: Hornets of the Pogrom

Genre: Death Metal/Heavy Metal

Sounds Like: Nothing I've ever come across. Please enlighten me.

Riffy, traditional Heavy-Metal inspired Death Metal certainly not for the masses. Bluesy as fuck at times, excellent lyrics (politics aside.)

It's important to note that the views of the bands I post do not necessarily represent the views of your captain, Spaceman Dave.

'Tortured bones break for the Gronzy. . .'

Fleshpress

Track: I am Your Sacrifice

Artist: Fleshpress

Album: Pillars

Genre: Sludge/Blackened Doom Metal

Sounds Like: Corrupted, Grief, Dot[.]

Note: As this is the opening track to a Doom album, it will take a while to get going. . .but when it does.

Features the drummer of Deathspell Omega.

Wolves in the Throne Room

Track: (A Shimmering Radiance) Diadem of Twelve Stars

Artist: Wolves in the Throne Room

Album: Diadem of Twelve Stars

Genre: Cascadian Black Metal

Sounds Like: Weakling, Leech, Skagos, Burzum

Wolves in the Throne Room are definitely one of my favourite black metal bands. Their live show was, as of yet, the greatest thing I have ever seen. I was sober.

Stiff Little Fingers

Track: Suspect Device

Artist: Stiff Little Fingers

Album: Inflammable Material

Genre: Punk ('77)

Sounds Like: Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Vibrators

"Their solutions are our problems
They put up the wall
On each side time and prime us
And make sure we get fuck all"

In close running for my favourite punk album. The vocals, energy, and musical variety are amazing. Recommended for anyone interested in early punk.
