<\/a>
\nBlack Math Horseman<\/a> – Black Math Horseman<\/i><\/a> (Profound Lore<\/a>)
\nFirst album in 13 years and I am fuckin psyched to have them back. Absolutely vicious psych doom with Sera Timms of Ides Of Gemini on vocals here too. It’s only 25 minutes but it’s some of the best 25 minutes this year has to offer.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/forlesen-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nForlesen<\/a> – Black Terrain<\/i><\/a> (I, Voidhanger<\/a>)
\n3 current Lotus Thief and ex-Botanist members and 1 ex-Maudlin Of The Well member making some huge blackened doom with large swaths of dark ambient.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/it-is-dead-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nIt Is Dead<\/a> – Hell Is Now<\/i><\/a> (Auris Apothecary<\/a>)
\nFurious black sludge debut that hits hard in the first 10 seconds and never lets up. The members are politically active too, by which I mean they’ve shown up in news photos punching Nazis.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mar-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nMar<\/a> – Everything Is Alive<\/i><\/a> (self released<\/a>)
\nKiller experimental doom duo out of Rhode Island that leans heavy on the atmosphere. A bit like Divide & Dissolve with some Ragana tossed in.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ode-and-elegy-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nOde And Elegy<\/a> – Ode And Elegy<\/i><\/a> (self released<\/a>)
\nA majestic hour-long opus with all flavors of metal and weirdness. Conceived by Kent Fairman Wilson and Harold Taddy, this single track of doom folk classical magic features tons of additional contributions like a choir, a harp, strings, woodwinds, brass instruments, and everything else. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/otolith-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nThe Otolith<\/a> – Folium Limina<\/i><\/a> (Blues Funeral<\/a>)
\nI can’t tell you how much I miss SubRosa. More Constant Than The Gods<\/i> is one of my most replayed records. The Otolith is made up of 4 of SubRosa’s numerous members, including violinists\/vocalists Sarah Pendleton and Kim Pack, so naturally I’m all over this. SubRosa’s main singer Rebecca Vernon isn’t present here which is a huge bummer, but The Otolith still fills that SubRosa-shaped hole in my heart. Oh and in case you didn’t notice the subtext, The Otolith sounds a lot like SubRosa (but they’ve got their own vibe going on).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pyrithe-cover-500x500.png\")
<\/a>
\nPyrithe<\/a> – Monuments To Impermanence<\/i><\/a> (Gilead Media<\/a>)
\nThis is without a doubt the record I’ve listened to more than anything else this year. They’re kind of like a prog-sludge version of RLYR in that they’re all over the place genre-wise and every moment is a fucking triumph.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/scarcity-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nScarcity<\/a> – Aveilut<\/i><\/a> (Flenser<\/a>)
\nThe weirder the better is true almost 100% of the time with music and this is the epitome of weird metal. If I say black metal plus drone, you might envision some winterscape stuff like Paysage d’Hiver. But Scarcity make black metal drone unlike anything else you’ve heard. This sounds like it’s informed more by Charlemagne Palestine than Darkthrone, kinda like if Important Records put out a black metal album. If I had to pick a favorite this year, it’d probably be this one.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ultha-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nUltha<\/a> – All That Has Never Been True<\/i><\/a> (Vendetta<\/a>)
\nNo idea why I thought Ultha was a new band. Although I’m not gonna lie, there are dozens of metal bands with short names that start with the letter U and I can’t keep em straight (see below), so that’s my excuse for not knowing about Ultha until now. This is just some straight atmospheric black metal that hits all the right spots. Not the most special but absolutely the best.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.antigravitybunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/unru-cover-500x500.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nUnru<\/a> – Die Wiederkehr Des Verdr\u00e4ngten<\/i><\/a> (Babylon Doom Cult<\/a>)
\nNot to be confused with Unruh or Unruhe or Unsu or Untru, Unru make some premium doomed black metal with keyboards and organs which means I am automatically in. Don’t be fooled by the 8-minute opening track of Sunn O))) worship with ethereal vocals, the remaining 45 minutes are a relentless onslaught of serious destruction and the clean vocals just fucking kill me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
