Rescuing death metal from cartoonish irrelevance.

12/01/2024

::THE UNSPEAKABLE CULTS TOP SIX ALBUMS OF 2023::

6. Passéisme - Alternance (Antiq)

Replete with riffs and lavish in harmonic textures, this Russian band's second album - a rousing display of exuberant and dexterous black metal - is an expression of prodigious talent.

5. Minenwerfer - Feuerwalze (Osmose)

The triumphant return of Sacramento's WWI enthusiasts marks a vicious, bleak contrast with the sonorous tones of 2019's successful Alpenpässe full-length. An essential for devotees of aggressive black metal.

4. Invultation - Feral Legion (Sentient Ruin)

A refreshing and extremely effective take on modern Black/Death, Invultation combines pounding rhythms familiar to fans of Archgoat with blazing, fiery assaults in the spirit of Angelcorpse.

3. Majesties - Vast Reaches Unclaimed (20 Buck Spin)

This masterful homage to the more esoteric side of Swedish melodic death metal provides a welcome contrast from both the saccharine expressions common to this style and the riffless boredom of today's less-extreme forms of death metal.

2. Ascended Dead - Evenfall of the Apocalypse (20 Buck Spin)

A gloriously chaotic and aggressive display of death metal that invokes the spirits of old without sounding like a shallow recitation. Energetic, sinister, and powerful.

1. Smoulder - Violent Creed of Vengeance (Cruz del Sur)

A towering triumph of epic sword and sorcery heavy metal, Smoulder take an energetic and ambitious step forward in this masterful sophomore release. Album of the Year 2023 at Unspeakable Cults.

12/01/2024
