Three Radikal Rekerds #31: Luxurious Lovecraftian Lucidity

Genre: Ambient

Standout track: The Dream Within The Dream Within

I can't get enough of track three. It's one of those absolutely haunting, ghostly and grief-stricken pieces that seeps into the quiet times away from my computer and the distraction of other people. It's inside my bones now. Whereas a lot of melodic electronica records can so often be a little self-indulgent, by losing themselves in extended waves of coloured sound and distortion, everything on this album hits the nail on the head. It's baring it's soul to the listener at every moment. 

Genre: Noise/Industrial Metal/Doom Metal

Standout track: Ice Hag V

(WARNING: This is pretty loud stuff! Go in with some caution, like this was a HNW album ;p) Tagged as a "black synthesizer doom" project, and invoking a blasphemous fantasy world under the influence of outré batrachian deities, if you 're on the lookout for a memorable and bizarre noise-metal hybrid outfit, then look no further! Can't go wrong with a tape bearing the image of the underrated D&D monster called a Froghemoth on the cover... :3

Genre: Desert Rock/Stoner

Standout track: Grey Area

Bluesy red-eyed heavy outfit of a gentleman in my friends list named Brandon Wayne, that reminds this this old doom metal munchkin of bands like Goatsnake and Church of Misery. There is something oddly satisfying about this album's rather coherent pace, stony production and stoic sun-hammered bluntness.
