| Evil Music Sampler 1
A selection of sinister releases from 2020-now that I’ve loved. I picked ones I really enjoy, but also have few ratings and/or no review. | | 1 |  | All You Know Is Hell
A QUIET CONVERSATION WHILE BURNING TO DEATH
The wide-screen production amplifies Joe Joyce’s tar-ladden sludge, and contorts starkly dense riffs into something more malleable. Paired with rhythmic percussive sections, the pensive dirge of “A QUIET CONVERSATION...” illuminates an inflammable incarnation of the band’s rapidly expanding ambition. | | 2 |  | Gout
Actual Bastard
Repulsed by the condition of existing in a human-shaped flesh coffin, Gout’s aptly named 2nd EP hits a stride within an exciting new band’s catalog. Before conjuring a debut full-length, the Glaswegian band already feel fully arrived; merging the bleak storytelling of rural-American styled noise rock with drop tuned post-whatever apathy. | | 3 |  | Haunted Horses
The Worst has Finally Happened
The Seattle trio amalgamate deadpan post-punk drawl in every crevice of its mechanized shell. “The Worst…” is their most visceral iteration of this creeping grindhouse hellscape; by tucking echolocated chords between buzzing loops, Haunted Horses are the sound of a defiled seance. | | 4 |  | Psalm
Psalm
Informed by New York City’s cavernous underbelly of longstanding, persistent corruption, Psalm’s debut release sears its fanged gnash into a series of meticulously paced stabs. With a lineup including Portrayal of Guilt’s drummer, the NYC trio range in approach from slithering, aloof gloom to disorientating tension. The distraught emotional exhaustion is palpable, festering with a purpose to expose every wrongdoing in a darkly-shrouded towering empire. | |
