Left Hand Path #009
 |
After what seemed like a slow start, metal in 2007 has shifted into high gear. Great releases flood in from the underground daily. In Left Hand Path #009, we've reviewed over 30 discs, including must-have splits from Baroness/Unpersons and Eibon/Hangman's Chair, Harvey Milk reissues, Marduk, Municipal Waste, Abigor, Glorior Belli, Irepress, dark ambient from the Cold Spring label, and much more.
The Angelic Process - We All Die LaughingKronos - Suffocate the IgnorantA Second from the Surface - Scene I Don't RememberSleeping Giant - Whoremonger
My picks here are French death metallers Kronos, pulverizing grindcore from A Second from the Surface, and yet another strong Facedown release from Sleeping Giant. The Angelic Process has tattooed vivid memories in me - I heard it one night in headphones while falling asleep, and had the most amazing, fucked up dreams.

I listened to that Sleeping Giant CD like 5 times before finally deciding not to cover it (a decision that usually takes 30 seconds tops, ha), because anytime they break into the "death metal" sounding stuff they eat shit and ruin everything else. They go from completely awesome to utter crap, and that drives me nuts. Were they to dump that "death metal" influence they'd be a great band.
