It ended with one of them holding the reins of Cobalt, and adding the vocalist from Lord Mantis. What a boon, the vocalist is expert in intensity, desperate and emotional. For a duo, this strong of a vocal is a must. And holy shit, the original member did all the instrumentation. 9:05-12:19 VERMIN WOMB (Friday, October 13, Thee Parkside) Rank & File \u2014 Vermin Womb won my 2016 Best Grind album of the year. \u201cShit yeah bro\u201d is what you say when you hear this debut full-length Vermin Womb album. Vocalist from Primitive Man fucking howls perfectly. Fortunately, Vermin Womb is way more dynamic and furious than Primitive Man. Maybe purists will say there is too much sludge and crust to make this truly grind, but fuck that. Shit just makes the album great. 12:20-16:32 NOISEM (Sunday, October 8, DNA Lounge) Cascade of Stars \u2014 Noisem is ambient, death, thrash, grind, punk and technical hardcore. Tons of grind, but their young energy breaks it up into a ripping hardcore album. They won my Best 2016 Hardcore\/Punk-influenced. 16:33-21:17 STATIQBLOOM (Tuesday, October 10, DNA Lounge) Despair Are Shadows \u2014 Fade from Batillus is the modern EBM\/Industrial leader. His industrial offerings are relentlessly danceable and dark. I fucking love this new album.   21:17-25:27 CULT LEADER (Friday, October 13, Thee Parkside) Sympathetic \u2014 Members of Gaza. Suffocating grind infuses this album, breaking into pummeling hardcore. Produced by Kurt Ballou. 25:27-32:51 WARNING (Wednesday, October 18, DNA Lounge) Footprints \u2014 Warning broke up in 2009 after releasing two albums, including a critical favorite in 2006 (Watching From a Distance). Two members went on to form 40 Watt Sun. Highly influential in the genre of emotional, dense, down-tuned doom. 32:52-37:18 ALTAR DE FEY (Friday, October 13, Hemlock) Veil Of Death \u2014 Old school deathrock in a new album from 80's band Altar De Fey, proving that the Bay Area indeed had a thriving deathrock scene in the 80's. You can tell they existed at the same time as Christian Death. This album is a mix of new and newly recorded old; and the vocalist strikes that perfect note of whine and badass. 37:18-41:07 ARTIFICIAL BRAIN (Tuesday, November 21, DNA Lounge) Anchored To The Inlayed Arc \u2014 Artificial Brain is mostly technical, raw, pummeling and painful all around. They incorporate just the right amount of progressive to keep your neck in a whiplash from the tempo changes. Vocalist scrapes the bottom of his throat and vomits it out. Just a stunningly talented band. 41:38-49:09 ATRIARCH (Saturday, October 21, Golden Bull (Oakland)) Inferno \u2014 Atriarch have a great twist of retro industrial and post-punk mixed with intense bleak sludge leadup to a black hole in your heart. The album contains traditional industrial \u201cremixes\u201d to their songs, including one by Statiqbloom! 49:09-56:05 PILLORIAN (Sunday, October 22, Cornerstone (Berkeley)) Forged iron crucible \u2014 Lead singer from defunct Agalloch. This album contains pretty melodic atmosphere and shining moments of black metal density with a diversity of vocal styles. 56:05-END MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT (Tuesday, October 31, Brick and Mortar) A Daisy Chain for Satan \u2014 One of my favorite industrial bands of all time, and on Halloween? Come on. ","author_name":"She Likes It Heavy bostonfreeradio.com","author_url":"http:\/\/reject.libsyn.com","html":"
