Hell / Thou - Ressurection Bay



Pesanta Urfolk and Gilead Media collaborate to release a split 7" between Hell and Thou. Relentless sludge on both sides. . Hell's condemns the listener to eternal damnation and you probably know exactly what to expect from a Thou song at this point.

purchase it from Pesanta, (it's in a very pretty jacket o: )

Swallowed



Here is Finnish death/doom (excited to hear it yet?) band Swallowed's self-titled EP. It consumes the listener in slow lurking horror and it disintegrates the listener in the churn of vile riffs.

purchase it on their Bandcamp page

Ancestortooth - Elephant Boneyard


Here is a compilation tape of the music released by Oregon's Ancestortooth. Ancestortooth played utterly heavy, megalithic sludge/doom. Music that sounds like the approach of an immense and unknowable entity.

Hell



Here is the first album from Salem, Oregon's Hell, released on tape by Woodsmoke and LP by Pesanta Urfolk. The true spirit of evil and fell crushing sludge/doom metal. Hell is awesome. You will die.

Teitanblood - Black Putrescence of Evil



Here is a 2009 compilation by Nuclear Winter of Teitanblood's demo and two splits which were released prior to Seven Chalices. This is profane black death. Rawer material from these earlier releases lacks some of the aesthetic detail of their masterful LP and drowns the listener in sheer vomit. Listen to "Necrosemen" on youtube.
