A few things I've been listening to

I'm trying to get back in the swing of posting about new music. In the meantime you really should check out Kim Kelly's new blog, Necrolust, which is a treasure trove of new and obscure heavy music.

Here are a few things that aren't really brand new, but that I've been enjoying:

Noctum: Swedish Old Man Rock that sound equally like Witchcraft and Mercyful Fate. Check out "Liberty in Death" from The Final Sacrifice here.

Indian: The Sludgelord tweeted the other day that they had "survived" listening to Indian's  From All Purity, and that's really the most apt description I've seen. Indian's gnawing, blackened doom sounds like the soundtrack to a particularly brutal murder.  Check out "Rhetoric of No" on Blabbermouth.

No Trust: Ferocious East Bay duo with two brothers (guitar and drums) that sounds a whole lot bigger than it is. Check out their debut, Unfound, on Bandcamp.

Mountain Witch: Classic Doom/Occult Rock from Hamburg, Germany. Check out their second album, Cold River, on Bandcamp.
