Anointing The Sick

Imagination holds no bounds when you listen to an Anointing The Sick Metal Blog show and its a particularly sick one this week, opening  with a track off the incoming sludge monster 'Astralis' by Azell. There's lots of doom, death and general carnage and the filth pit has been very bountiful this week. There are tracks from new albums that have been a highlight for me over the last couple of weeks from Treasondom, Supernaughty, Malthusian, God's Funeral, Heidrun, Molosser Crude and Sars. The show closes with a doom monster from the often surprisingly melodic Pallbearer.

Show #243 We Are The Fallen is now available to download or generally piss off Granny. This is the most extreme show I've done in a while courtesy of Haepethral records and aided and abetted by the ugly sounds of some of my favourite new releases from False Gods, Afghan Haze, Tar Pit, Mud Valley alongside new groove laden thrash tunes from Silius.  Speaking of thrash, I'm playing Messiah for the first time in a while and a new thrash discovery for me, Drain Down as well as Sentry. Doom Charts is represented by Kitsa from last year. This show opens with a nasty dose of doomy tunes by PVRS and there's a filthy full stop with Mexican deathsters Cathartic. Among all this carnage I've ladled even more doom with a track by We Follow The Earth and added some stoner acid from Space Coke. A modicum of sanity is offered by a savage brand of grunge from Fuzz Forward.

Over 2 hours of unrelenting and uninterrupted death metal to download. This playlist is a serpent with many heads and highlights  how diverse the genre actually is with elements of thrash, grind, doom, sludge, crust and even prog. I hope you enjoy the selection of songs as much as I enjoyed compiling them . All the tracks are from my own collection and hated with a passion by my wife!

Prepare to be double tapped by the latest Anointing The Sick Metal Blog Show 'High Velocity Impact.' Levels of depravity are varied with a post sludge opener from Guiltless and a flagellating close from arch rip fiends Graveripper. Inbetween I've highlighted tracks from recently released albums that have shaken the Anointing The Sick Metal Blog foundations from Hibernaut, Red Vinter, Three Towers and The Bonnevilles as well as songs from highly recommended albums released last year. The showpiece track is a droning sludgy doom  monster from Azimut while the filth pit dredged up El Cerdo all slimy and dripping!

Its tiome for more purulent discharge in the form of another Anointing The Sick Show highlighting the very best in extreme metal. There is a heavy doom chart prescence this week with the show kicking off with Italian stoners Rhino. Much of this episode contains stner doom bands but the filth pit has spewed forth some inpenetrable blackened deathgrind in the form of Maurda. As usual, I've highlighted some albums you may have missed last year but the second part of the show gives a taste of what has been on offer over the last few weeks and are highly recommended by the Blog. The show closes  with a killer song from 2014 from stoner doomsters Let It Breathe.

All aboard hahahahahaha!! It's destination pain on today's Anointing The Sick Show right down to the final track from funeral doom death band Wastes. As usual I've got you covered for albums you may have missed last year that you should be listening to as well as a couple of tracks from recent releases that have well and truly hit the mark with the blog from Fuzzriders and Vaneno. I don't often play singles but am excited to feature a song off the incoming new album Black Static from Boneyard. Jams are supplied by Cannabus with an instrumental that sounds like Tia Carrera on steroids

Hallelujah! The Anointing The Sick show is back! Starting with a crust / punk classic and ending with a dose of pummelling sludge. I haven't done a label feature in a while so this week a spotlight falls on Drowning In Chaos Records with three brutal death and black metal bands from that stable  Cryptic Process, Fadeaux and Obsidyen. Reecent releases that you really should be checking out are by Beware Of Gods, Blind Mess, Spiral Guru and Madmess.
