GRYPT - "Love Me" + remixes/stems

Stupid bitches.
The only kind of bitches who don't know that our own [TLR] is part of GRYPT.

GRYPT has a remix EP, full of remixes and the original version - along with stems so you can make a remix that s either way cooler or way dumber.

All of it rules. Get it.

Noistruct - Sacrilege [NTR096]

some dirty 'n dark atmoshperic drone breakcore goodness from Australia's Night Terror Recordings
and Noistruct. 3 tracks clocking in at almost 1/2 hour plus stems for the title track. Industrial wasteland soundscapes digitally rendered. Ceremonial Remix has got some haunting vocals bumping about... busy ER waiting room. Splitting headache breaks. That feeling before your appendix was removed. Dissonant background layers swallow the break. Cacophony. "RMX" is a far different and less lengthy take on title track. MuCH c0r3 FuNk.

Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni / Free Tibet - "Black Vale"

I've been a Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni fan since I first stumbled upon their work via the now defunct Space Black Metal blog. Moving from obvious metal tendencies to full blown electronic affairs in the realms of ambient and drone, Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni is but one of many remarkable Russian artists crafting truly incredible ambient music. With "Black Vale" we see Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni teaming up with Free Tibet, an artist I'm otherwise unfamiliar with, for a huge cosmic cavern of deep and dark ambient of the highest most lush caliber  Beguiling and subtly menacing, "Black Vale" is an exercise in the most far reaches of dark ambient music. A veritable black hole represented in, ultimately, 2 movements expressed from 2 different entities. Essential for all ambient, drone, and noise fans.

Chigurh - "The Instrument"

Harsh without being harsh noise from Chigurh on the Mulehorse label as a name your price download. I don't even really care to call it noise, harsh or otherwise, despite most people considering it that. This is heavy ambient music. Enjoy.

M-81 - "Astral Pilgrimage"

So this is M-81, a 16 year old kid from the Syrian Arab Republic, reppin' its capital of Damascus to the fullest. What we have here is a one man cosmic black drone project that is, to be honest, absolutely fucking brilliant. This is as simultaneously heavy and vacuous as you can get. It is punishing in the same style that all truly crushing metal music is supposed to be, but it pulls it's strength from - essentially - all of the exact opposite places most metal music does. This is a sort of negative space pummeling. The percussion of is off center and deliberately sparse, guitar feedback and synthesized noise swirl and create a massive sonic vortex, some brass is layered in there at places, and perfect sampling rounds out the deal. Just. As mentioned - fucking brilliant, really.

Jute Gyte - Discography

Everything under the Jute Gyte moniker available as a name-your-price download, with no minimum - so you can have these shits for free, son. Jute Gyte crafts all types of peculiar music that operates in or is somehow connected to "black metal". There is 8bit tinkerings, drone movements, raw black metal, and all types of other far out and noisy shit for the experimental black (and beyond) metal listener. Go get you some.

Queen Of Heathens - "Dreamlike Lamentations"

More madness from Queen Of Heathens, this time in the form of the ambient/noise release entitled "Dreamlike Lamentations". For those who like that ambient dark and their noise sublime. Easy to get lost in, fun to crawl out of.

Queen Of Heathens - "Ethereality"

Great fuzzy guitars, deliberate drums with a nice dash of reverb, all sorts of drones and feedback noise, squelchy screamy vocals. This is a nice dose of black metal with drone and noise elements thrown in the mixture. Crafted by the one known as The Cartographer, possibly a female - based on the name of this particular project and the overall sound of the vocals - disguised as Queen Of Heathens with the release "Ethereality". Get murky.

Kapala - "Moon Rivers"

Super limited cassette run no longer available, now for free from the super incredible and previously featured Tagobella label. This time from Kapala, who deliver ridiculous psychedelic blackened instrumental drone across a total of 5 tracks. Real good for the headphone laptop work posse as well as the drugged out freakzoids.

Outer Gods - "The Mountains Den" Demo

If you injected Sunn O))) with more straightforward electronics in the form of synth washes and ambient soundscape construction, while also subtracting the truly distorted guitars and occasional growling chants - you would have Outer Gods. Atlanta based ambient drone metal curators and creators definitely giving a nod to Sunn O))) and similar, while taking a slight detour down a path they've paved themselves. "The Mountain Den" demo is heady and uplifting while remaining lonely and sinister sounding at the same time.

qwertzuiop - "Rebirth"

Hungarian black ambient drone project from the peculiarly titled one man band qwertzuiop. Orchestral and epic, dark and brooding. Not quite black metal, not quite ambient, not quite drone - but all of those things at the same time. Emotive and emotional.

SUNN O))) – “LIVE AT HOPSCOTCH FESTIVAL, SEPTEMBER 8, 2012 “

I write at, and also run, Grindthieves and have tried to make it a habit - a successful one, thusfar - of not posting the same thing here and at Grindthieves. Had to make an exception for this one, though. For obvious reasons. Enjoy.

The Eye Unclouded - "Tongues Like Mazes"

Is it black metal? I suppose so. It's definitely "progressive metal", or whatever the kids are calling it, too. There's a good amount of that ambient/drone metal flavor, to be certain. There's no vocals, but really you don't need or even want any on this one. Progressive ambient post instrumental black technical metal? Ubetcha.

Embers - Shadows

Yet another release from Torn Flesh Records. Yet again, its fantastic.

From the review on Valley of Steel:

"One of the main distinctions concerns Jerry Buchanan‘s drum parts. Whereas black metal is normally characterized by sterile, mechanical-sounding drumming — non-stop blastbeats drenched in reverb and oversaturated with the piercing clash of trebly cymbals ringing — what we have here feels quite free and organic. While reverb is still used here, it seems to be for a totally different purpose: instead of creating a feeling of extreme solitude, smothering in its expansiveness, the tone I am getting is one of openness, where the sounds are all given ample room to breathe. Likewise, the playing style seems free and loose — while still fitting perfectly into the context of a metal band, the feeling it gives me is sometimes closer to, say, John Bonham‘s jazzy explorations across the drum kit, than the incessant driving, pounding noise inherent in many black metal recordings."

V/A - "Sampled"

New Weird Australia has been featured a couple of times on Grindthieves, and for good reason. A sort of scholastic approach to sharing, creating, and pushing experimental music and art of all varieties, New Weird Australia manages to consistently deliver some really remarkable output that has its roots firmly in Australia's soil. While I can't say that I'm into everything they have released, it's safe to say I've been into most of it and that all of it really is spectacular for what it is.

With this compilation, simply titled "Sampled", New Weird Australia brings a sampling of material previously released on their New Editions imprint along with some rare/unreleased material from artists in their camp. It's a varied and wonderful listen of sounds covering a wide range of ideas, styles, and moods. Sonic experimentation at it's finest, both in creation and in experiencing.

Enjoy.
