i apologize for not droning much recently. i reached the zenith-state where i am either asleep, at work, commuting to or from work, or it is between 1AM and 5AM. drone downtime has been...hobbled. weekend nachos time has never been larger.

but i lied earlier about the quarterly 80 minutes of bvdub releases. turns out there are already 3 full albums in 2012. look at this shit.

also there's a 36...compilation? best of? there is a 36 something.

so drone on, drones. nothing says 'make up an illusory pentene peak by changing the software's idea of a retention time' like ruminating on your actions 8 hours later and listening to death chants. and poring over these.

Crushing the Holy Trinity & Kénôse

Deathspell pops up a lot on this blog, and for good reason: they fucking rule! This is a set of 3 splits whose purpose should be pretty evident. It consists of the first split (Father) between Aspa's Deathspell Omega AND Stabat Mater. Next (Son) is Musta Surma with Clandestine Blaze, another one of Aspa's bands that sounds like a more raw, less innovative Deathspell. Holy Spirit, the third and final addition, is between Mgla and Exordium, both of whom I had never heard of before this, but are both pretty decent black metal (Mgla more so than Exordium.) Father is easily ther best of the 3, but all are worth listening to. Dense as fuckkkkkkkkkk.

And while I'm at it and it was requested, here is Kénôse, one of Deathspell's finest. It's dark, it's evil, it's noisey, it's colossal, but most of all, evil. 3 tracks of pure black metal chaos.

Stabat Mater - S/T 2009

Stabat Mater is Mikko Aspa of Deathspell Omega's latest musical endeavor (is it? how can you keep up? homie is in like 200 bands) which showcases a darker, slower, and much different sound than you are used to from things like Deathspell. The project has mostly just done splits up until now, and the release of this debut full length was a long time coming. However, I would say it was worth the wait. This is what doom should sound like; raw, powerful, dirty, fuzzy, atmospheric, and most of all, evil as fuck. Turn this on at your next sacrifice and you will have one happy Satan.
