ALBUM REVIEW: Yautja – The Lurch
You want brutal? You got it! The debut album from Yautja (members of Thou, Coliseum, Mutilation Rites), The Lurch (Relapse Records), is that in spades. If you’re into just an all out onslaught of driving grooves mixed with crazy, double stops, and all the above, this is the cut for you! Not to get too into it, but this is right up my alley. I dig it when a band is their own thing, or their own entity, so to speak. They are just themselves.

Guest Post: Seth Werkheiser of Skull Toaster- End Of Year List
As we dash towards the holidays and the end of the year Ghost Cult is feeling good about this season of giving. So we are giving our fans a chance to get to know our partners, peers, and friends from bands in the world of music. They will chime in with some guest blogs, end of year lists, and whatever else is on their minds as we pull the plug on 2015. First up is our pal Seth Werkheiser from Skull Toaster Metal Trivia (@skulltoaster)
Hi – metal friends and people who enjoy reading things on the internet. My year-end list is a mix of metal and rock – but for a dude who grew up on Guns N Roses and Helmet – well – this is the sort of year-end list you get from me in 2015. I left some obvious picks (ahem – FNM) off my list – as they’ll get enough attention everywhere else – and tried to focus on picks that found their way into my life by random BandCamp exploring and listening to a handful of fine folk on Twitter (hey – I’m @sethw). Please enjoy.
10. Super Unison – Super Unison
This is Meghan O’Neil’s new band after leaving Punch and this EP is killer.

9. Spylacopa – Parallels
Groovy in some places, atmospheric in others. All makes for a solid album that I’ve spun many times this year.

8. Torpor – From Nothing Comes Everything
Airy and doomy, super loud trio from the UK.

7. Our Oceans – Our Oceans
Ex-Cynic projects will always win me over: catchy- pretty- and bound with energy.
https://ouroceansband.bandcamp.com
6. Royal Thunder – Crooked Doors
This album is going to age like some sort of hard drink; burning and so smooth.
https://royalthunder.bandcamp.com
5. Kowloon Walled City – Grievances
‘Grievances’ sounds like what every overcast, rainy day looks like. And those are my favorite sorts of days.

4. Coliseum – Anxiety’s Kiss
Like an old car with a manual transmission and no power steering, ‘Anxiety’s Kiss’ hurts so good.
https://coliseum.bandcamp.com/album/anxietys-kiss
3. Mutoid Man – Bridgeburner
This album is majestic, like surfing on the back of a gold-plated eagle that shoots lightning bolts from its eyeballs.
https://mutoidman.bandcamp.com
2. OHHMS – Cold
Two songs is more than enough for me. Just like you don’t fast forward classic movies to the “good parts,” so is this album – you listen to the build-ups like an adult!
https://ohhms.bandcamp.com
1. Sleater-Kinney – No Cities to Love
This is the most metal album of the year for me. I get chills listening to each chorus and all that riffing. The vocals on this whole album just sound ferocious – like they mean something.

Child Bite Updates From The Studio, June Tour Dates With Coliseum
Detroit punk metallers Child Bite has posted an update from recording their forthcoming new full length at Philip H Anselmo’s Nodferatu’s Lair, due out later this year via Housecore Records. Reports vocalist Shawn Knight from the Lair:
“We’ve been having a blast in the studio with Philip Anselmo! Historically, Child Bite has tracked full-length LPs in two to four days, so it has been both strange and relieving to spend two full weeks at Nodferatu’s Lair. The thirteen songs we tracked sound incredible, ten of which will make up the album while the other three will be released independently. In our spare time, we also shot a music video for ‘Mongoloid Obsession’ off of the Strange Waste EP. Written and directed by the band, it’s a lo-if slab of Ed Wood-meets-John Waters bafoonery. Look for that sucker any day now!”
The band will be supporting Coliseum on an upcoming run of tour dates.
