Song of the Day - Faith Resigned

Yautji - Faith Resigned from Songs of Descent (2014)

More Heavy stuff!

Yautji are a mix of all sorts of pissed off sludgy hardcore and metal noise all tangled up in a big sharp clump and ready for you to step on it late at night as you quietly-as-possible walk to the bathroom. Your foot will bleed and you will be shouting, waking your girlfriend up and her drunk roommate. In this short yet excruciatingly painful moment you will confess your hatred for your shitty job and your mundane life. The next day you will buy a motorcycle and drive it far, far away. Eventually, you will ride it into the sun and mesh your skin and bones with the motorcycle's shiny metal and leather, becoming apart of it as much as it will be apart of you and you will ride the solar system from there on out as a mecha-humanoid motorcycle bounty hunter.

Never to return.


Yautji are also three guys from Coliseum, Nameless Cults, and Gnarwhal respectively.

Song of the Day - Arboreal Gallows (Mandagora I)

Botanist - Arboreal Gallows (Mandragora I) from IV: Mandragora (2013)

Some kind of black metal about plants using only drums and a dulcimer by a guy named Otrebor . At first it sounds like a guy with an electrical voice box banging on metal and a marching snare drum, but it gets enjoyable in a weird way once you listen to it a few more times.


Or don't. I don't care.
