EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Alltar – “Horology”
Portland’s epic post-Metal quintet Alltar (stylized as A//tar) dropped their crushing début album, Hallowed, last month via Monochord Records. The band favors moments of moody simmering dynamics and crushing flourishes of heavy riffs and synths. Ghost Cult has teamed up with the band to bring you their haunting new video for ‘Horology’. Directed and edited by bassist Casey Braunger, the video makes a perfect use of trippy Twin Peaks imagery and brain-warping time-lapse work, the clip is perfectly matched to the track. Watch it now!

Post-metal group Chrome Waves will release The Cold Light Of Despair, a collection of both new and previously released singles, covers, and more.

Russian Circles – Blood Year
It must be a sign of my own rapidly advancing age but I can scarcely believe that it has been three whole years since we last had music from Chicago’s Russian Circles. The speed at which times move, it is sometimes difficult to take stock. For one though, it is lovely news to have them back. Continue reading
Cazador – Failure To Thrive
Despite Massachusetts trio Cazador having been a going concern for five years, Failure To Thrive (Self Release) is the band’s debut studio album, even being preceded by a live album. Having started out as a purely Sludge-based unit, their sound has evolved to incorporate a number of styles which makes this effort a short but exciting journey.
Batushka – Hospodi
It’s for the best that I didn’t partake in any herbal supplements before Batushka‘s Hospodi (Metal Blade) as I feel that the religious themes and spectacle would’ve kicked open a vault of repressed Catholic guilt sitting in the back of my head. You see, the uncertain nature of religion and faith is one of the few things that elicits true fear from me. Well that, wasps, tractor-trailers and large dogs, but who’s counting? Continue reading
