#ThursDeath this week is new LP 'Deracinated into Soiled Reliquaries' by one man Mammoth Lakes, California death/black metal project CABINET. This is a disgusting slab with churning, chugging, dripping, burbling, roaring, monk-like chanting, and piano melodies- and then back to face-smashing riffs. Muck and grime galore. If the gross, nasty riff in track 4 doesn't get you, nothing will. Has to be heard to be fully appreciated.

#ThursDeath this week is this absolute BANGER of an EP Whittier, California deathgrind freaks CASKET MUSH just put out, 'Evocation of Paranoia'. This fucker grinds and churns and smashes at your skull in the best ways. HUGE contender for me this year. Gonna be listening to this one a lot.

New video for the single 'Pustulent Tombs' from L.A.'s death metal outfit MALIGNANT, from their debut LP coming out next year from Iron Fortress. Cool song and actually wild video, too (some grossness and gore): https://youtu.be/Db_lEg7N3W0

It's so great when bands figure out how to do music videos that aren't JUST them playing the song and actually show some cool stuff and have a story, etc.

#GrindayFriday for this week is Los Angeles powerviolence outfit APARTMENT 213 and their new EP from September, 'Glamour': https://apartment213.bandcamp.com/album/glamour

I love some good powerviolence, and this is probably some of the better I've heard. Among those classic barks and shouts of the vocals are some really great riffs and dynamics. Been playing a lot of this one recently.

Hot Ocean just put out another single, after 'Lavanderia' earlier this year. This one is 'Whole Lotta Fuck', and it's great, because of course it is- it's Hot Ocean.

This week's #GrindayFriday is new EP 'Finitude of Existence' by California's THIEVES. This is only about ten minutes long total and has a great mix of grind, sludge, and death. Love stuff like this. Brutal, weird, vocals a mix of growls and screams. Fantastic EP.

#GrindayFriday this week is California's 'blackened grind' (?) outfit SCALP's sick, BRUTAL new LP 'Not Worthy of Human Compassion'. Great anti-capitalist lyrics, riffy/killer dynamic spots everywhere. Awesome start/stops. Intense!

This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is Los Angeles' CRYOGEYSER. Psyched to hear the rest of their self-titled record that comes out February 14-- here's 'Stargirl' from it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF3nXlx4kkM

This is some REALLY great fuzzy, dreamy shoegazey indie pop rock. Dig Shawn Marom's vocals, the wild guitar stuff, the dynamics, all of it. Check the heavier guitar & yelled vocals around the 2:30 mark-- wait for it!

Got a great one for the first #MusicWomenWednesday of 2025. Wrote last year about finding bands via other bands- happened again. Been listening to coldwave/darkwave lately. After following (recent favorite) Soft Vein on Instagram, I saw he's playing a show with a band called Milliken Chamber. WOW. Milliken Chamber is a duo from Los Angeles. Catchy, dreamy subtle melodies, pulsing beats & synths. EP from 2017, LP from 2019:

Amazingly, here's another one I almost missed this year-- another that might've made my favorite 20 albums of 2024 if I'd caught it earlier. This is a KILLER synthpop record along the lines of Ladytron, etc.

GLASS SPELLS are a duo from California and singer Tania Costello even almost has a Stevie Nicks or 80s kind of vibe to her vocals sometimes. Love this new LP 'Crystals' of theirs from earlier this year, and it's perfect for the final #MusicWomenWednesday of 2024.

This week's #GrindayFriday is one of my favorites -- one man SoCal goregrind project BODILY STEW that started in 2022.

It's gross, fast, and has that snare. Played this one a lot this year, especially in the car. Don't usually post splits here but the Putrescine Inhalation (2 piece Cali goregrind) at the end of this 'Cranial Decimation' split is also good.

Atascadero, California's MANGLED MESS makes some great, gross death metal - perfect for today's bonus #ThursDeath. It's rough, primitive sounding - that just adds to its disgusting appeal.

Mangled Mess' self titled EP came out earlier this year. I'd consider it a must-hear for fans of grosser stuff. Angry growling, slow, chuggy riffs - the whole EP is only 14 minutes long, over 8 tracks. Some horror type sound effects here and there, but not too much. I dig it.

For #ThursDeath this week, the almighty SQUELCH from California. Nasty, grody riffy death metal on this EP from earlier this year.

'An Eternal Hiss of Hatred' has 4 songs and I've certainly listened to these a lot this year. Really great, cutting stuff. It's rough, it's squishy, it's crunchy, it's OSDM style, it's fantastic.

It's #GrindayFriday again and although I could've easily done POSTNASAL DRAINAGE for Music Women Wednesday (as it's a woman-fronted two piece gore groove band from California's east bay, and that would've been funny), we're doin em up for Grinday Friday.

This is Postnasal Drainage's first demo, from April, released a day before my birthday this year. Some truly gross and grody stuff. But what good grind isn't?

If you're gonna do Bandcamp Friday, do I have a suggestion for YOU.

New FRANKIE AND THE WITCH FINGERS just came out TODAY and it is FIRE (of course).

They're one of the greatest fucking psych-punk rock bands ever - don't sleep on em. It's called 'Data Doom' (can relate) and is here for just $10 (digitally):

Have I talked about Frankie and the Witch Fingers here before? I hadn't heard of them til recently, they have a LARGE Insta following & lots of fans, apparently. Their first album was in 2015. I REALLY dig their sound. Garagey and kinda psych too- there's kinda like, heavy garage rock bits but also some Pink Floyd or Kinks influence in there? It's pretty wild.

And it's GOOD - I find it really listenable. Catchy, fast-ish songs you can just kinda let groove. If you're into 60s style garage or psych, check em out. They're from L.A. and they have an album coming out next month, too - 'Data Doom'. A couple of the tracks are up for preview here: https://frankieandthewitchfingers.bandcamp.com/album/data-doom
