Rat Tamango is an Australian blues band that rocks like a mountain range and rolls like boulders in a landslide. They play a raw style of mood shifting blues rock, acidic, raw and snarling one moment, moody and sullen the next all with tons of strutting attitude. Watch out for the fuzz, it bites without warning when you least expect it.

DEATHRATTLE PODCAST ~ Dirty Dozen (Feb 2022)
March lists will soon be upon us. Here's a recap of the best 12 releases of February according to Deathrattle Podcast.
Heldscalla is a stoner metal doom band with psychedelic flourishes from Seattle, WA, founded in 2019.
Picking up where they left with the Third Crusade, Hugo “Rattlesnake” Conim and his unholy pack of musicians, Filipe Relêgo (bass / vocals ), drummer João Ventura and Diogo Simões (keyboards) have invoked all their demons and recited all their spells in order to write and produce a beast of an album, which will not only mark their best, most focused and mature album to date, but will surely expand their fanbase and bring the Doom and Dawn into a world of darkness and mist, waiting for its final blow.
Finland’s Cryptic Hatred perform monolithic, feral death metal that taps into the vein of 1990s classics—yet re-forges them in the fires of youth. The band came together in 2019 when Jami Lamio (guitars), Tatu Saves (drums), Eemil Lajoma (guitars, vox) and Miska Hagelberg (bass) met in high school. In 2020, they settled on the name Cryptic Hatred and self-recorded and released the 8-song Free from the Grave demo. In 2021 they became a powerful live force in the Finnish death metal scene, honing their chops before a growing, dedicated fanbase.
The focal point was creating a Thrash Metal Album for an Incrypt audience to a Thrash Metal fan base. The style is very much distinct with small pockets of early Thrash musical influences, the feel is unique more focused than previous albums by Incrypt
The album sums up everything Phil and Tim are doing, it is a collaboration of passion for music and creativity, and it is highly recommended for fans of all the bands Phil and Tim are part of, and also the fans of all eras of BLACK SABBATH and the spirit of heavy metal music.

DEATHRATTLE PODCAST - Dirty Dozen (Jan 2022)
DESCENT - Order Of Chaos
Nocturnal Graves sound the charge with their venomous new offering, ‘An Outlaw's Stand.’ Coalescing the nastiest and rawest elements of death, thrash, and black metal, the Australian outlaws’ brand of apocalyptic metal explodes like an atom bomb, leaving utter devastation in its path. The relentless onslaught of pure brutality makes one thing clear – Long live death!
1st album by this band formed by Jo Steel (ICE WAR/ APHRODITE) & Dave Rotten (AVULSED/ HOLYCIDE) where they play a dirty, intense and savage Death/ Crust full of catchy riffs and relentless tempo. Influences may come from bands like COMECON, DOOM, NIHILIST, DISCHARGE, AUTOPSY, EXTREME NOISE TERROR, MASTER, UNCURBED…
Noisecult: heavy rock band from Nashville, TN, often categorized as 70's stoner metal like Black Sabbath, Motorhead, High on Fire and Orange Goblin.

KYLMYYTEEN ~ Yö istui viereeni (2022)
Another funeral doom project from the guys of Hiljaisuus vajoaa, along similar lines but keeping the experimental side of things at arms length. I've just finished listening to this huge four tracker back to back and I feel like I've spent an eternity of loneliness.
Yö istui viereeni ( The Night Sat Beside Me ) the new album from Finnish band Kylmyyteen has to be one of the most morose albums I've heard in years, guitars weep in anguish, drum and bass form a rhythm section of abject sorrow, the four long and extremely slow tracks melded by heartache and a longing for the ultimate finality of consciousness. Abyssal riffs heave themselves through the gloom, swathed in dejection.
Yö istui viereeni is more of a wake than an album, revelling in the pain of endless grief and eternal loss and I'll put it up against any of the classic albums of this genre for the sheer sense of foreboding it exudes.

HELDSCALLA ~ Fog Creatures Of Antiquity (2022)
A new stoner doom album where each track drags you from a dream state into your worst nightmare before lowering you back into diminished consciousness, broken and crushed. Each song is long and slow but never monotonous, riffs are weighty, punctuated by sprawling psychedelic passages that hint at 'post doom' influences.
'Fog Creatures Of Antiquity' by Heldscalla, a highlight of the month so far.

HUMAN HARVEST ~ Flesh Sermons (2022)
Listen to any album featuring Jonny Pettersson and Jon Rudin of Wombbath among many others, and you can be pretty certain that your eardrums are in for a harrowing test of endurance. Thankfully, the gruesome twosome's latest incarnation Human Harvest doesn't disappoint. Flesh Sermons is a merciless abominate of mutated grind and Swedish death metal. The duo's utter disdain of the Human Race permeates every garrotted chord struck and drumhead demolished, spattered by gargolyan bile spewed from Petterssons throat. Its a thoroughly savage, relentless album made great by the many breakdowns that steamroll right through your head. These aren't your usual breakdowns where everything slows down into chunks of riffery, instead the tracks accelerate to insane velocity without losing their mass of bloodied matter.
Prepare to be culled!
