Greetings, Decibel readers!
I’ve an admission to make, I’ve by no means seen the primary Friday the thirteenth movie. I’ve solely seen elements two and 4, Freddy Vs. Jason and … Jason X. As I’ve mentioned right here earlier than, half 4 is certainly probably the most enjoyable out of what I’ve seen — pure popcorn horror schlock, it’s virtually on the slapstick stage however completely rides the road. Hopefully me and my movie-night buddies can fill in some cinematic gaps quickly with the remainder of the catalog (notably elements one and three).
Anyway, right here’s some metallic for the weekend (… which we’ll hopefully all make it by).

Bocc – Obrint El Taüt
Humorous factor, in all my years overlaying metallic, I truly haven’t run throughout that many bands from Spain. Like, Wormed and Teitanblood are the one ones that instantly come to thoughts. However I certain am glad I fell into the pit and found this band. Bocc is old-school dying doom finished the soiled method within the custom of Post-mortem, Winter and Cianide. Punchy sufficient for the pit, however menacing sufficient to simply sit there and brood, you’ll be able to’t probably go incorrect with this.

Hexvessel – Nocturne
The long-running practitioners of trippy, blackened atmospherics return with their followup to 2023’s Polar Veil. It’s a sound that each evokes the majesty of nature and serves as inspiration for intense introspection. The riffs simply work out that method in some way.

Outergods – Dethroned & Devoured
In the meantime, this album simply rips. Followers of blackened dying metallic will come for crushing rhythms, followers of grindcore will keep for the unhinged power of all of it.

Shrinkwrap Killers – Feed the Clones Pt. 2
And now for these of you simply in search of one thing bizarre. It’s like if Bizarre Al simply made an album in his traditional fashion however blended in parts of Kind O Detrimental, Bauhaus, and Pleasure Division. I is perhaps completely off-base with what truly impressed the band, however that’s no less than what jumps out at me.

Sigh – I Noticed the World Finish (Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV)
It was an actual pleasure to lastly witness Sigh carry out reside at Maryland Deathfest this yr, and so it’s double-your-pleasure to get a rerecording of Hangman’s Hymn. Whereas the earlier model had a slicing sound that hewed to the middle of your mind (particularly the guitars), this new imagining has an all-enveloping, balanced high quality. I like Hangman’s Hymn because it was, however it is a fairly cool strategy to exhume the songs and provides them new life.
