CATHEDRAL FEVER - All Pit, No Pendulum

CATHEDRAL FEVER    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▲  BANDCAMP

Check out this pummeling new EP by Cathedral Fever, a 4-piece from St. Louis, MO. This isn't your standard 4-minute, blast beat-laden, hardcore EP. Nope, these are 7 huge, unpredictable, dark songs clocking in at over 21 minutes. The two biggest compliments I can give this band is that; 1. They'll give you an impending feeling of doom without sounding like a doom band; and 2. Their songs are complex but don't end up sounding like Converge. The band often gets compared to Cursed and Black Breath, but the bands that came to my mind as I listened were Ancient Shores, Maranatha, Hollow Tongue and Nesseria. So, if you are a fan of anything listed above, do yourself a favor and grab this now.

I'm pretty sure this thing is intended to be free, but it's showing $1 on Bandcamp right now, which means people have probably been hammering it and all the free downloads are gone.

OFFENSE - Self Titled

OFFENSE    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▲  BANDCAMP  ▼  TUMBLR  ▲  TWITTER  ▼  VIMEO  ▲  BIG CARTEL

Here comes the soundtrack to your epileptic attack! Offense, a 4-piece powerviolence band from France released a Demo last year with 4 songs. What you'll find in this demo is about 5 minutes of raging powerviolence for fans of IRON LUNG, WEEKEND NACHOS or DESPISE YOU.

Their songs are a mixture of slow sludgy stuff, exploding HC and grinding punk... and before you even noticed that the song started, the demo is already over. Get a free download and hear yourself!

These songs made their way to a 10" picture disc release limited to 300 copies on Knives Out Records. Looks like it was supposed to be released in June 2014, but either it's already sold out or there was a delay, because I don't see the record for sale anywhere. If you really want to find out, get in touch with the record label.

GIDIM - Self Titled

GIDIM    ☼    BANDCAMP

Cassettes... Raw production... Minimalistic layout... Lets get deeeep underground with GIDIM from Chicago, IL who released their S/T cassette in May of this year!

This one-man project shifts between old school black metal in the style of earlier Dark Throne to depressive black metal and atmospheric slow parts... covered in (still bearable) necro sound. Choking vocals, crushing riffs, raging blast beats... nice stuff.

GIDIM manages to reanimate an old sound with some musical variation towards punk and sludge. Worth a listen if youre into black metal of then and now. Downloadable for free.. the first run of cassettes (50 copies) are already sold out, so stay tuned for more as a split tape with Leather Chalice is on the horizon.
