No Clean Singing 🤘 AN NCS VIDEO PREMIERE: ASHEN HORDE — ā€œENTROPY AND ECSTASYā€: (written by Islander) This makes the fourth time in a nine-year period when we’ve had the extreme pleasure of premiering music by Ashen Horde, and this time it’s a song from their forthcoming fifth album, The Harvest, which is set for release on May 1st. In one of those previous premieres we wrote that ā€œAshen [...]

No Clean Singing 🤘 IS IT AN ALBUM? IS IT AN EP? NO, IT’S…: …something in between, according to our own Andy Synn anyway! It’s funny isn’t it, that nebulous, ill-defined dividing line that separates an EP from an album? I’ve encountered releases longer than Reign in Blood that still feel like an EP by comparison, just as I’ve listened to records shorter than some EPs which still – [...]

No Clean Singing 🤘 BOG MƖNSTER: ā€œDUELLING HORRORSā€: (This is DGR’s review of a new EP released earlier this month by the Australian trio Bog Mƶnster.) When the collection of everything you intend to review consists of a smorgasbord of EPs and albums, tackling two songs can feel both like cheating and like mana from the heavens. The brain doesn’t have to keep [...]

No Clean Singing 🤘 AN NCS PREMIERE: ONCHOCERCIASIS ESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY — ā€œGUTTED AND CORPSEDā€: (written by Islander) After the next paragraph we’re going to refer to this band as OxE, not because it’s too difficult to copy/paste their full name but because reading it repeatedly might cause your eyes to transmit a message to a part of your brain that might then cause you to swallow your tongue, which [...]… http://dlvr.it/TRWtHP šŸ‘€ Bio Link 4 More 🤘 #Metal #HeavyMetal #NoCleanSinging
No Clean Singing 🤘 AN NCS PREMIERE: IGNOBLETH — ā€œPROSELYTE PIG Iā€: (written by Islander) The Italian black/death marauders Ignobleth admit that their first EP, Voidspawn Sacrifice, could be likened to ā€œBlasphemy and Archgoat worshipā€. But their sound and style have morphed since then, and the music on their forthcoming debut album Manor of Primitive Anticreation is a much more twisted, unpredictable, and unsettling… http://dlvr.it/TRWtGk šŸ‘€ Bio Link 4 More 🤘 #Metal #HeavyMetal #NoCleanSinging
No Clean Singing 🤘 BOSSE-DE-NAGE: ā€œHIDDEN FIRES BURN HOTTESTā€: (The Flenser has released the first new album by Bosse-de-Nage in eight years, and today Todd Manning shares his thoughts about it.) Avant-garde metal band Bosse-de-Nage disappeared from the scene years ago, their absence as mysterious as their sound. They appeared dormant if not disbanded, but in truth, they have been slowly crafting their new [...]… http://dlvr.it/TRWlx4 šŸ‘€ Bio Link 4 More 🤘 #Metal #HeavyMetal #NoCleanSinging

No Clean Singing 🤘 SHADES OF BLACK: EVEALE: (written by Islander) I don’t have much to share with you in today’s column. I spent a lot of time yesterday unsuccessfully trying to solve a security glitch that disabled my administrative access to NCS, and then more time communicating with our web host and third-party security service and staring at the in-box waiting for [...]

No Clean Singing 🤘 AN NCS PREMIERE: CANDARIAN — ā€œALTARS AND ANCESTORSā€: (written by Islander) This is a tough day for people with friggatriskaidekaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th, especially because we just had another one of those last month. But we’re about to magnify the fear of this day with a new song from the Costa Rican death-dealers in Candarian. This song, ā€œAltars and Ancestorsā€œ, [...]
