The fifth update brings Obituary, Alcest, FLA or Terror
Does Christmas time terrorize you with all the omni-present
carols? How about we add some real TERROR?! Yep, one of the heaviest and most
popular bands on the scene shall return to the crime scene where they shot the „Spirit
of Sacrifice“ video two years ago. Another band that knows a
lot about the spirit of sacrifice but this time for death metal is one of the
most influential bands of the genre. Let’s see what is gonna be your cause of death after OBITUARY are done
with you!
Call it blackgaze, shoegaze or post-something, but only ALCEST can conjure up the soul-grabbing atmospheres that you can find on their latest output Spiritual Instinct. Another band to cover our fortress in its unique sound will be FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, one of the most important EBM acts that has also helped to set direction for the electro-industrial scene. The next act on the list also likes to indulge in the use of electronics, but its experimental sound stems from noise rock and grind. That being said, you easily cannot put any genre label on them. And when we reveal they come from Japan and also utilize weirdo vocals you’ll be able to make the connection that we are probably talking about MELT-BANANA!
At Brutal Assault we can’t ever have enough death
metal, especially when certain Frank Mullen is behind the microphone. And
especially when he shall be fronting the show for the last time. Yep, the crème de la crème of US death metal
SUFFOCATION shall rip BA apart with Frank for the last time in 2020! It is said
that our next band inspired the sound of Pantera by the dawn of 90s, however
then they didn’t release anything for 27 years. Until this year. And they’re
back in a great shape, so we are sure EXHORDER and their new album „Mourn the Southern
Skies” will make an impact next summer.
Now let's get some atmosphere back into the mix. NAILED
TO OBSCURITY make the death/doom wheels turn with their strong melancholic
melodies while Greg Mackintosh connects the next two bands. PARADISE LOST keep
the flame of English gothic doom alive and on top of that Greg's morbid
alter-ego STRIGOI takes over the reins of his black-ish graveyard old school death/crust/grind
output after the demise of Vallenfyre.
Have a rocking holiday and a great New Year full of
heavy music!
