Lol, doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd expect you to like; more my kind of thing

Will explore this asap.

Actually, I enjoy many more genres than one might think

Yeah but you don't like Anaal Nathrakh, which is a bit weird

I think Anaal Nathrakh isn't too interesting, but it doesn't mean I'll shun such music.
And I mean old AN, around "Codex Necro", because their latest releases are simply souped up melodeath - not too extreme and abrasive. I've tried every kind of extreme music, and I really enjoy some of it - Ensorcelor is an example.

I'm not really all that into the avant-grind stuff of their later albums. Codex Necro is a great example of controlled brutality though. I have a thing for anything industrial black though so that plays a big part of it.

Sounds like something i should check me thinks?!

Likewise.

Adding myself to this choir.

You can get this EP from Media Tree Recordings (mediatreerecordings.blogspot.com) on CDR or cassette! The cassettes are black, and printed with black ink; the next few cassette orders ship with a huge back patch, and all cassettes come with a fold-out poster of the original artwork! cd and cassette are both $7 (CND)

Also, Media Tree has cassettes of Æsahættr, the black metal project of Ensorcelor's guitarist. Definitely check it out.

Yummy, this sounds like my cup of tea! Thanks for the review!

I have to be honest, I wasn't massively blown away by this. There's definitely a few moments of interest but a lot of it seemed kinda amateurish - the riffs were the kind of thing you'd come up with the first time you'd sit down to make a doom band without bothering to explore a bit more but I suppose but my main gripe were the vocals which seemed perpetually disembodied from the music itself (perhaps due to their relatively unchanging nature) and I felt very aware of them throughout the EP like they'd just been chucked on top after the recording of the music. For a debut EP though it's a pretty competant start. It felt more melancholic than oppressively grim and evil to me though.

At the moment though I'm having trouble not comparing everything sludgey and evil to Bloody Panda...

why the hell didn't I check this out before? damn, bought the cassette on a whim from Psychedoomelic. And am loving every single second of it, over and over again.
Just put in an order for the Crucifuge LP as well.
Awesome stuff.
