Crucifist

So Circle of Dead Children can't make it to Maryland Death Fest this year due to their drummer not being able to make it. So they've been replaced by Crucifist! They're from Rochester, New York and play a mix of thrashy-old school-blackened-metal with some of the coolest vocals I've heard in a while. I feel like the crypt keeper or some zombie ghost is doing the vocals. Very different stuff here that will appease fans of thrash and old school death metal and black metal. I do wish I were able to see Circle of Dead Children, but this however, is not a bad replacement by far. So head over to www.marylanddeathfest.com and pick up your tickets today! Enjoy!

3 Is The Magic Number

As a result of being lazy, here's 3 albums from 3 different bands performing at this year's Maryland Death Fest. The Chasm, Eyehategod, and Gride. Let's make this fast... The Chasm are from Mexico City and play what I would call br00tal progressive death metal. Eyehategod are from New Orleans and play a heavy version of doom. Some might call it sludge, but the singer and band don't really care for that term and with a band named Eyehategod, you better just take their word for it. Gride are from the Czech Republic and play grind in the vein of blast beat absurdness... plus the Czech vocals add to the greatness. Also, no song titles on these records, you'll see them when you download them. I don't feel like doing all the weird symbols and apostrophes and shit for the Gride song titles. However, I do suggest you download all 3 albums and do your ears a favor. Enjoy!

Misery Index

Since the last post had two bands that played at last years Maryland Death Fest , I decided to continue in the same trend and post another. Misery Index play awesome death grind (use to anyways) and features ex-founding member's of Dying Fetus. This album is a collection of their earlier work (ep's, splits, demos, unreleased, and live material). It's 30 tracks, so it's definitely worth a download, plus it's from a time when they were actually good. Dying Fetus fans will eat this up, nom nom nom nom! Misery Index is currently working a new record that I could possible care less about, but will most likely end up on here sometime in May... just for you guys. Enjoy!

Jucifer

So here's another band playing at Maryland Death Fest 2010... however, this band has many attendee's scratching their head. Jucifer at a death fest? It's true this band doesn't play death, black, grind, or thrash metal... however, they play the loudest sludge doom you ever heard. It may be typical fashion to say "no clit in the pit", but this chick (amber valentine) can sing her ass off and not only that she plays using 9 cabinet amps (or more) and blows the clothes off of people like an 80's rock video. Her and husband Edgar Livengood tour nomad style constantly and drop albums every few years. Their last album, "L' Autrichienne" was a concept album about Marie Antoinette. It's tracks all differed in style and range from heavy and fast to slow and deep and everything in between. So we decided to throw said album up on the Poonangular blog. So check out this different, yet awesome album that definitely shows that you can't judge a book by its cover. Not only that, but Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer/Agoraphobic Nosebleed fame did production on the album, so you know it's loud. Basically if you like Black Sabbath, The Melvins, or PJ Harvey, then you'll enjoy this record. Play this at extreme volumes!

2008 - "L'Autrichienne"

01 - Blackpowder
02 - Thermidor
03 - To Earth
04 - Deficit
05 - Champ De Mars

Melechesh

In honor of MDF2010, we here at Poonangular are droppin' albums from some of this year's performers left and right... So throughout April and May keep an eye out for some br00tal albums (says the guy who just did a deftones megapost). Here we have Melechesh and excerpt from Wikipedia.

"Melechesh is a melodic black metal band that originated in Jerusalem. Ashmedi started the band as a solo project in 1993. In the following year, guitarist Moloch and drummer Lord Curse were added to the line-up. The band’s goal was to create a type of black metal incorporating extensive Middle Eastern influences mainly based on Mesopotamian/Sumerian and occult  themes (both musically and lyrically); the band invented the title "Mesopotamian Metal" to best describe their type of metal."

Mesopotamian Metal? Holy Fuck! You'll get it once you listen to it. It is indeed a fierce listen and quite an enjoyable one at that. This is their most resent release from 2006, "Emissaires" and probably their best in my opinion. So go ahead and check this awesome record because I can't wait to see these guys live!

2006 - "Emissaires"

01 - Rebirth of The Nemesis
02 - Ladders To Sumeria
03 - Deluge of Delusional Dreams
04 - Touching The Spheres of Sephiroth
