ALBUMS OF THE WEEK! I just can’t seem to get enough of the new Decapitated record, which returns to the top spot again. Sylvaine’s gorgeous new album, Nova, was a close second and gives me all the feels. New discoveries for me were Tyrannosorceress and Venator (both excellent). Kind of all over the genre map this week, but that’s how I roll now. ☠️ 1. Decapitated - Cancer Culture (2022) 2. Sylvaine - Nova (2022) 3. Tyrannosorceress - Shattering Light's Creation 4. Metallica - Death Magnetic 5. Necropanther - Eyes of Blue Light 6. Venator - Echoes From The Gutter (2022) 7. Cherokee - Wakan Tanka Nici Un 8. Wicked Innocence - Omnipotence 9. Vaino - Metsänpeitto (2022) ☠️ What did you listen to this week?

ALBUMS OF THE WEEK! These are the nine albums that got the most plays out of me. I’m so excited about this entry that I got up early to write it, as there is some awesome stuff here. The clear winner was Sanguisugabogg’s Tortured Whole (released yesterday). This is filthy death metal with extra gurgly vocals and a psychedelic sense of humor. Blasting this one is an absolute delight. Speaking of gurgly vocals, Wicked Innocence’s Omnipotence is here with a technical death metal album from 1995 that has aged like wine. This band was way ahead of its time. My band discovery of the week is definitely Wode, a UK-based black metal band that instantly caught my attention and affection. Wode fits nicely in that place in my heart typically reserved for Tribulation, Cloak, Slaegt, and maybe Dissection. I hadn’t heard of Wode last Saturday; today I own their entire discography (new album comes out next week!). Finally, I discovered Vermineux, a Minenwerfer side project that is based on medieval wars and scratches that underground black metal itch. ☠️ 1. Sanguisugabogg - Tortured Whole (2021) 2. Death - Symbolic 3. Wicked Innocence - Omnipotence 4. Cannabis Corpse - Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise 5. Wode - Wode 6. Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade 7. Vermineux - 1337 8. Rimfrost - Rimfrost 9. Sulphur Aeon - The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos ☠️ What was on your playlist this week?

Wicked Innocence - Omnipotence. This band is from my hometown of Salt Lake City, and I remember seeing them play live in the mid-90s when I was still in high school. @burningdogmarecords just reissued this album on tape and CD, which is awesome because it’s been out of print forever and I lost my CD about 20 years ago. The death metal on offer here is pretty great. The burpy vocals might take some getting used to, but the guitars are insane, the bass is alive and all over the place, and the drumming is sublime. It’s all very technical and amazing. SLC was not ready for this beast. 
On a related note, @pulltheplugpatches is selling beautiful woven patches of this album cover.

Today I did a therapeutic run to one of my favorite record shops in Houston, @soundexchange1 (stellar metal selection here!). Wound up with a fistful of CDs: Wicked Innocence, Thulcandra, Carcass, Sleeping Ancient, and Judas Priest. Where to begin?

Wicked Innocence patch from @pulltheplugpatches . They nailed the Omnipotence album cover for this. Technical death metal from my original home state of Utah in the mid-90s, about as obscure as this kind of thing gets. I was shocked to see a patch for this band after all this time.
