Tribulation - The Children Of The Night

At the first place we have the Swedish death metal band TRIBULATION with the best album of 2015 "The Children of the Night".

That TRIBULATION have been exceeded themselves with a magnificent release as this amaze me, holy moses what a album. With the new record the band continue to embrace their signature sound and shows a really wide spectrum of guitar tones and harmonies. The MORBID ANGEL influence that haunted previous albums have slightly changed to more traditional NWOBHM style and classic heavy metal, but also goth and some progressive rock form the 70's. The aggression and occult overtones are still intact and with Johannes gruff monotone vocals the dramatic parts gets life to the songs. In these days it’s hard to stand out, but TRIBULATION has achieved just that and made the best album of 2015!

Today's tune "Melancholia" is taken from "The Children Of The Night"

Khemmis - Absolution

KHEMMIS, A quartet from Denver US, grabs the 2:nd place with the début "Absolution".

"Absolution" have all the components that's needed to be a listenable record. A slow, heavy doom album with melodic nasty guitar tones that reminiscent of stoner metal and a mix of contemporary sludge. It's progressive and brutal without getting too much in one direction. The riffs are cleaver, where the solos partly sings "classic metal" and the rhythm section doing their job to create a massive heavy and progressive atmosphere. The vocals are mixed between deadly growls and very clean. A terrific way to work out the vocal part on this record. The result is "Absolution" a six track, forty-minute journey of properly crafted tunes that shows a very high level writing skill and musicianships. KHEMMIS music breathe fresh and forge a new brick to what heavy progressive doom rock is in 2015.

Today's tune "The Bereaved" taken from "Absolution", enjoy!

We Hunt Buffalo - Living Ghosts

Canadian finest trio WE HUNT BUFFALO takes position 3 with their second album "Living Ghosts".

"Living Ghosts" reminds me of a fruit and not any common fruit as orange or banana, the fruit I have in mind is Chilli, to be more precise. It changes colour nicely during growth, first green, then orange and later take the most fenced blood-red hue. The album sprawls and changes directions during it's play time and touches many different genres, is really fresh and becomes stronger the more you listen. It starts grand with the magnificent instrumental "Ragnarök" which then melts into "Back To The River", a well packed heavy riffery machine that will blow you away, reminds partly of MASTODON, then the record accelerate to a more punkish, slimy, dirty rock n’ roll with "Prairie Oyster". With the 4th track "Hold On" the album take it first turn to the left with a new direction, still heavy but with a more melodic progressive approach (hey FAIR TO MIDLAND), the album continues in this path with killer tune "Comatose". On the 6th track the band hits the break and slows down and gives us the beautiful "Fear". Then it makes another turn, this time to the right and let us flow away with the guitar driven melody of the tune "The Barrens" (The chorus sounds almost like WITCHCRAFT). I slobbers already like a dog and "Looking Glass" plays in my head and follows the previous tune in style. I giggling a bit inwardly and wondering how this will this end. "Walk Again" takes the album to another direction and I start to wonder, is this still the same band. The vocal part is filled with sorrow and regret, the music is more lay back and slowly grows until it fades out in to a psychedelic noise. The album closer "Transcandemic" is a nice well crafted piece that ends the album with a dignity.

Today's tune "Hold On" is taken from "Living Ghosts", enjoy!

Monolord - Vænir

Gothenburg, Sweden's finest doomish sludge troupe MONOLORD takes a firm grip on position 5 with their second album "Vænir".

"Vænir" is a heavy piece of work, sludgy doomed and lightly psychedelic, along with a shit load of semtex that will blow your minds all over the place. It's slow with hazy vocals and minimalist guitar riffs. The title "Vænir" is Sweden's largest lake, located in southwestern Sweden.

Baroness - Purple

"Purple" is the fourth studio album by the Savannah foursome sludge metal band BARONESS. With a last-minute release, they do manage to crawl up to a 6:th place, well done.

It’s remarkable that the guys manage to heal so good after the devastation of the big accident back in 2012. The recovery is the new creation "Purple" (the colour of fresh bruises). The album is much shorter than the previous album "Yellow & Green" but this is stronger and more precise. The record has been spinning 24/7 since the release and it's absolutely an terrific album.

Today's tune "Morningstar" is taken from Purple, enjoy!

Here is a live clip form 11/27/15 at Ace Of Cups in Columbus, Ohio.
