TERMINUS: extreme metal podcast
Music:Music Commentary
After a brief lull following TBMG's (excellent) interview with Alan Averill, we return with our regularly scheduled programming of elaborate French black metal, absurdist pornogrind, and everything in between. The "in between," in this case, belongs to Demonslaught, forgotten 1.5 wave black metal band from the greater Los Angeles area who recently received a reissue of their second demo. If you want something that sounds like Bathory, Sabbath (JP,) and Possessed falling down an elevator shaft together, well, BUY IT.
We start our main reviews with the third full length record by Karne, a French black metal band which seeks to unite the disparate niches of its national scene under a single musical concept. Karne pulls on French black metal threads from Deathspell Omega to Hell Militia, stitching highly contrasting ideas together with ecstatic yet subtle lead guitar work. We're big fans of French black metal on the show, and we're guessing you'll be as fascinated as we were by a band that can put Mutiilation and Aorlhac into the same room without ruining the carpet with blood.
Side B belongs to Hymen Holocaust, longtime Dutch one-man pornogrind purveyor back with its 6th full length endeavor. TDMG takes the lead on this one, giving a brief musical history of pornogrind before diving into what makes Hymen Holocaust so distinct- namely, a fascinating grasp of contrasting rhythms and a melodic vocabulary that extends from Gut to Candlemass without ever seeming like a novelty act. Pornogrind is a hard sell in the best of times, but hopefully listening to a deep musical dive on the structural underpinnings will give you the confidence to go to your record store's counter and request "One Cock and Ball Torture CD, please."
