Dark Castle - Spirited Migration (2009)

Full-length, At A Loss Recordings
May 26th, 2009



Genre: Sludge/Doom Metal
Region: USA

So I went to the Nachtmystium/Zoraster/The Atlas Moth/Dark Castle gig downtown last night and man was I surprised by what this chick and dude put out. The lady Stevie (who also did the cover art) on guitar playing through two huge bass stacks and Rob on drums and synth. Heavy, simple doomy riffs with a deep growl.

Black Arrows of Filth and Impurity - 1984 (Eternal) (2006)

EP, Happy Couples Never Last/Gilead Media
2006

Genre: Grindcore/Death Metal
Region: USA

Surprising really and very promising. Chaotic death metal riffs, dark and violent sound that could be described as similar to Crowpath, Dephosphorus, and A Scanner Darkly. It's too bad they split up.


This is a highly recommended gem guys. Listen to the entire thing on Gilead Media's bandcamp page. Pay what you want!


EDIT: New links, 320 Gilead Media repress with a bonus track.
