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.
