Week 46 is here, and THE SLUDGELORD’s weekly selection of
Essential Albums brings you a stacked lineup of crushing releases from the
underground. First, apologies for the lateness of this article—sickness kept me
down and away from new music for the past couple of weeks. But the wait was
worth it. Each record offers its own unique vision of heaviness—ready to shake
foundations and melt speakers.
Kicking thing off is Onsetter, who deliver a sonic battering
ram of downtuned riffs bled with vitriolic fury on “Smother / Obituary”,
a two‑track assault that marks their second release this year following up the incredible
“Malice”. Enragement are absolutely unrelenting
on “Extinguish All Existence”, a death metal war machine that
grinds forward with annihilating precision and merciless ferocity.
Suffering Hour
spiral
into madness on “Impelling Rebirth”, a vertigo‑inducing plunge
through dissonant riffs and cosmic chaos that feels like staring into the
abyss. The Munsens drag listeners into “Degradation
in the Hyperreal”, a doom‑laden descent where reality buckles under the
weight of colossal riffs and suffocating atmosphere. Dawn Fades unveil “III”, weaving haunting
melodies and blackened fury into a post‑metal tapestry that shifts between
melancholy and obliteration.
Sunburster erupt
from the filth‑ridden trenches with a bombastic, full‑throttle slab of nasty
sludge dripping with venom and grit on “No Semblance of Peaceful
Existence”. And finally, Leylines
conjure “Sepulchral”, a mathcore monument that feels both
volatile and precise, forever on the brink of collapsing into beautiful
disorder. For fans of Ion
Dissonance, Car Bomb, Frontierer, Humanity’s Last Breath, and The Tony Danza Tapdance
Extravaganza, Leylines deliver a vision of
technical extremity where chaos and beauty collide.
This is THE SLUDGELORD’s Essential Albums of the
Week, WK46. Plug in and black out. The ‘Lord has spoken.
