BACK IN STOCK!!! Another Minnesota slow-down from the frozen prairie's coolest trio. Fourteen tracks of sparse and drifting space pop soothe, floated on the beautiful vocals of ALAN SPARHAWK and MIMI PARKER, and anchored by ZAK SALLY's dreamy bass.

Two new extended pieces from this Montreal ensemble capture the band in full mesmerizing, drawn-out, drift-on glory. Dynamic like nobody's business and full of the weaving, soaring, musical interplay of their live performances. Track one comes in at a loving 11-minutes, track two, a mere eighteen. Let it weep.

fter the reckless barbarity of 2017’s Poisoned Blood 12-inch, Portland’s Witch Vomit dig deeper into the ground than ever before, disinterring Buried Deep In A Bottomless Grave, their second full length torrent of skullbashing wormridden horror from beyond. On this new album the band moves toward perfecting the surgical fusion of the driving Scandinavian-style violence and subconscious terror they’ve previously established, and a now gore-obsessed smashing of their American forbears. Subtlety is abolished for savage attack, imprinted on the listener’s withering mind like an impulsive stab to the throat from a crazed stranger, while all the while a dreadful sense of eerie melody rings throughout the album. With the permanent addition of second guitarist C.L., Witch Vomit achieve heightened levels of primal regression and blood-soaked madness. Buried Deep In A Bottomless Grave is a deadly addition to their growing catalog of atrocity.

A new level of barbaric mastery was achieved on 2019’s Buried Deep In A Bottomless Grave, Witch Vomit’s second full length from. It was now undeniable that the band was not merely another “OSDM” (stale terminology) band when they’d evolved a maximal and rarely achieved synthesis of European and American death metal styles into a flawless melange of horrific gore-soaked splendor. Though bands tend to simmer down as they evolve, Witch Vomit reverse this tendency, getting only more extreme with each release. This momentum continues on the band’s latest, Abhorrent Rapture. Like 2017’s Poisoned Blood, Abhorrent Rapture showcases the band in the more immediate and intense MLP format. Four tracks in roughly eighteen minutes of pure savagery but always with that eerie mood, creeping melodic sense and grisly intimidation essential to proper death metal. Though not a full length proper, Abhorrent Rapture will sate, temporarily, the cannibalistic appetite of the many clamoring for the next Witch Vomit burial mound to come.

Old school stalwarts Craven Idol celebrate their 15th anniversary with third opus Forked Tongues. Swearing by the gods of old, the North London veterans further hone their unique blend of old school extreme metal. “After spending a month on the road with Mystifer, we are a closer-knit unit than ever before. There’s a good reason for this being the longest standing line-up in our fifteen-year existence. The entire band lived and breathed this record in the months preceding the studio, and the performances delivered by each member are testament to their dedication to untarnished extreme metal of old,” says founding member Sadistik Wrath. “Forked Tongues is a vicious and concerted tribute to folly of mankind. In these godless days of Sodom, craven idols are in their element, wheeling and dealing, beckoning you to follow their treacherous causes. The apocalyptic legends of ancient Greece read like unholy divination… and it is from them that we drew the subject matter for the record.” Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Tom Dring at Southport’s Vagrant Recordings, Forked Tongues showcases a rawer side of Craven Idol, aiming to bottle the band’s live ferocity.
