This Is Oblivion

If I’m being honest this track kind of loses me when the vocal falls into that weird almost hip hop cadence at the end (it’s not even poorly done, it just feels super out of whack with the rest of the track), but up to that point this is pretty fucking phenomenal. Almost sounds like Chelsea Wolfe or the chick from Made out of Babies fronting a dubbed out SWANS. Looking forward to hearing how the full album plays out when it comes out tomorrow.

Bring Her

Icy, sexy, yet strangely ominous and distorted goth/ post punk/ darkwave from Pittsburgh PA. Kinda reminds me of a meaner/ grimier, version of Kaelan Mikla? Something like that anyway. The other thing they remind me of is this short-lived Canadian band called Security, but that's a reference so completely fucking obscure that I apologize for even making it.

Either way, this rules.

Skuul

Pounding industrial rock/ metal that, weirdly enough, kinda made me think of Godflesh, Primitive Knot (which makes sense since this is the Primitive Knot guy and another guy), The Young Gods, and Evil Mothers all at the same time.

If I'm being 100%  honest the vocals on this thing sat really fucking weird with me at first because they definitely pack a lot of that sleazy mid-90's industrial rock swagger and that was not at all what I was expecting based on the opening riff, but they've been growing on me steadily since I grabbed the download the other day and now I think they're pretty cool... Dude sounds almost like the gothed-up spawn of Alan Vega and Iggy Pop.

I dunno... Your mileage may definitely vary on this one, but if you don't hate the idea of getting some greasy alterna-rock shoved into your industrial metal this shit is actually really cool.
