Middle Earth What Matthew Arnold said....Color Me Impressed. Favorite track: The All-Consuming White.

Matt A This is excellent; very well-executed black metal that effectively balances harshness with melody. The album gets better as it goes along; really interesting band with an evocative name.

about

After years of rot, Antlers as Roots' first full length album finally sees the light of day. Released on cassette by Wilt-Shine Label, here is what they had to say about it:

Antlers as Roots' "Ephemera", their first full-length offering, is a haunting exploration of being human - harshly dragging our faiths’ attempt to grasp what is merely ephemeral. All things fleeting. A wonderful cascading blend of melody-washed black metal, tinged with post rock allure.

Physical copies can be purchased at wilt-shine.bandcamp.com/merch

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Anthronomicon

Sounds like Cthulhu going on a Benadryl and bath-salts fueled rampage through a Guitar Center while a bunch of the fish people from Innsmouth gang bang in the background. The guys from Ulthar sound more focused this time around, compared to the more meandering bits of Helionomicon (which is also awesome, check it out). And the album art... holy hell. Ghuughra
