NEW MUSIC : Ghost Bath, Chaos Divine, Marijuanaut Compilation
First post of 2015 indeed and there is no better way to get the year running by jumping headlong into all the new music around.
1. Ghost Bath
My knowledge of Chinese metal ends at the rather inviting brand folk metal of Tengger Cavalry. But there is something beautiful brewing beneath all that veil of secrecy in the country. Ghost Bath from the north western city plays a brand of black metal reminiscent of Deafheaven, but dare I say it, more catchier and without the brouhaha surrounding the former. They’ve been recently picked up by Northern Silence Productions, probably the best place for bands on a similar vein (Nasheim, Saor , Woods of Desolation), and are all set to release their brand new album Moonlover through the label.
Check out this sublimely melodic new single ‘Golden Number’, below.
2. Chaos Divine
Although Australia’s progosphere seems to be fronted by bands like Karnivool and Voyager, there seems to be a second tier of far more interesting bands like Cog and Chaos Divine. The latter, Chaos Divine, released back in 2011 one of my personal favorites titled the ‘The Human Equation’. 2015 seems to be geared towards their third effort titled Colliding Skies. Check out their single from the same, which still bears all the marks that made The Human Equation such a brilliant listen.
3. Marijuanaut Vol 1 & Vol 2 (Compilations)
Most of us here have had a steady penchant for the more the slower style of metal, sludge/stoner/doom. And there’s nothing better than being served a chunky bunch of songs that leaves you entrance you like the herb itself. All this thanks to the Italian mag Doommabbestia dedicated to the purveyance of the art. Oh and there is Cthulhu smoking up which is always cool.
