Another batch of new releases is with us. Not a lot out today but there’s some good stuff for death metal fans.
Full Of Hell – Trumpeting Ecstasy
I keep hearing great things about this band but the title track from this album is the only song of theirs that I’ve heard so far. It’s a nightmarish grindy noise but with arty vocals and electronic ambience too. It sounds worthy of the rave reviews. Definitely want to hear more.
Hate – Tremendum
This is the tenth album from these Polish veterans. I enjoyed the steady confidence of new track Numinosum a lot so I’m looking forward to hearing more of this. Sounds like good solid stuff from reliable purveyors of satanic death metal.
God Dethroned – The World Ablaze
It’s been seven years since these Dutch death metallers last released an album but now they’re back with this, the third part in their trilogy of WWI-themed albums. I’m not familiar with this band at all… one for fans of Bolt Thrower I’d imagine?
Oranssi Pazuzu – Farmokologinen, Kosmonument, Muukalainen Puhuu (Reissues)
I was introduced to this band by Annie at Blackhaus Art recently. It’s very original, unique stuff. And now here’s some sexy vinyl reissues (from Svart Records and 20 Buck Spin) of some older releases. I think I’ll press on with their newer stuff right now but it’s good to know these are out there! I hate it when you get into a new band just to find out half of their stuff is out-of-print.
And to round things up we’ve also got Swans continuing their run of reissues with a remaster of their 1995 album The Great Annihilator. The 2CD version also comes with Michael Gira’s solo album Drainland, from the same year. And I thought I was actually going to go a whole week without a live album but here’s The Sword with Greetings From… Not that up on this band but I liked the live version of Maiden, Mother and Crone that I heard. Reminded me of Pentagram!
And that’s the lot. Not the kind of stuff I’ll be running out to buy but I’ll certainly be checking out a few of these online. Anything you’ve got your sights on today? Let me know. Until next week… happy hunting!
I have to say that the band name Full Of Hell, when combined with the title Trupmeting Ecstasy, has got to be the most epic thing I have seen in a long time.

Love the self-combusting nun.
This lot makes me realise that without religion, there would probably be no Metal.

They didn’t have this yesterday when I checked at Sunrise.

Awesome, enjoy! I find the term ‘industrial’ a bit of a bad omen but I’ll give them a go anyway! What are TROB like?
LikeLike
Mainly death! A few samples and odd squelchy bits but very heavily (& heavy) death. TROB = based in black metal but not really BM anymore, rather a majestic, crushing, aeon-spanning exemplar of extreme metal art! Try “Foulest Semen”.

Haha what an offer. Just saw a (rare) rave review of TROB at Angry Metal Guy. Definitely intrigued!

Not a great week for album covers, is it? Trumpeting Ecstasy running away with it only cause there’s no Afghan Whigs here (where are they? C’mon! Answer me!).
That Sword live album interests me, though. So too would Swans if I didn’t already have it.

I did think about including the Afghan Whigs because the cover is so good… but then I decided I’d leave them out. Just to see how you’d react.

Had no idea The Sword had a new album coming out. Wonder what it sounds like? What direction has their style taken since Warp Riders, the last one of theirs I really liked? I’m gonna have to find a review of this new one. Thanks for pointing it out!

I’m not that familiar with them but it’s just a live album so I don’t think there will be many surprises on there.

Yeah, I figured that out after I went looking for it and was disappointed. I actually saw them live in Covington, Kentucky a few years ago. Oh well, now I know!
