NP: Fabricant - Drudge to the Thicket
▶︎ Drudge To The Thicket | FABRICANT | Fabricant (bandcamp.com)

I'm going to be kind of a dick here and call attention away from that striking cover art for a moment to their band photo on MA

Why? Why would you include that? Is Weird Al going through a beatnick phase? Never mind those two poorly disguised cenobites behind him. Was this taken in a church basement? Is the body of a high school senior who was about to have his yearbook photo taken splayed about in a half eaten bloody puddle behind that screen. Just please please tell me Weird Al Beatnovick sounds exactly as I imagine he does. Like listening to Steven Wilson talk through a word problem in an artsy and all too self serious whisper. He has to sound that way. This is like an entire David Lynch film in one photo.
The music's good by the way. They've got a cool way of gluing riffs together that sort of tumbles and lurches along unpredictably.

Afterbirth - In But Not Of (2023)
 

Pre-order done.

Pre-order done.

Hugely top heavy album.  Never gets to being terrible tracks but definitely a lot of not necessary tracks.

Pre-order done.

New Ulcerate "Cutting The Throat Of God" coming out on June 14th. They've gotten better and better with time, I'm psyched.

Exhorder - Defectum Omnium (2024)
This and the new Priest have taken over my listening this week.  Accepting that neither are flawless, they both do still possess a great amount of appeal and it is rare for me to engage so much with new music over such a consistent number of days.  I only just clocked that Pat O'Brien of Cannibal Corpse fame is in Exhorder now.  Dude owns a flamethrower which is remarkabl considering his alcohol and drink challenges.

Judas Priest - Invincible Shield (2024)
 

JP - Invincible Shield
 

Power Trip - Nightmare Logic (2017)
 

Wolvennest - Ritual MMXX
 

Om - Pilgrimage (2007)
Hawkwind - Warrior at the Edge of Time (1975)
 

Exhorder - Defectum Omnium (2024)
Inconsistent but never terrible, more disappointing when some of the good ideas are never fully realised or get ruined by some of the sub-par moments.  Lead work is some of the worst I have heard in a while though.  Poorly developed and largely directionless in sound.  Saved by the weight of the riffs though and a solid shift done on the drum stool.   How many halfway decent groove metal albums do you get in a year nowadays?  How many did we ever get in fact?  Would listen to again but doubt I would buy.

I think that is...
1. Darkthrone
2. Evilfeast
3. Marduk
4. Walknut
5. Windhand
