(IT) Buioingola- Il nuovo mare LP (2017)
Genre: Doom, Post Metal, Dark Wave, Cold Wave, Experimental
Label: Sentient Ruin Laboratories, Shove, Unquiet, Sangue Dischi
Tracks: 7
Length: 33.0'
We are extremely excited to announce the release of Il nuovo mare. the new and final album by mysterious Italian experimental darkwave/post-doom band Buioingola.
Perhaps reaching the end of their obscure but unparalleled existence, Buiongola present their swansong to the world in the form of a brand new monolith of obsidian black sonic affliction. This brand new - and perhaps final - full-length player by the now dissolved tuscan three-piece is an ulterior step the band has taken toward an unfathomable abyss, shaped once again by the band’s signature strain of agonizing, shoegazy crust and haunting post-punk, interwoven with dismal dark wave dirges, towering black/doom passages, and martial industrial tapestries. Over the span of thirty-five suffocating minutes of darkness-clad misery Buiongola show us once again their mastery in weaving together something unique and unlike anything else: a doomed sonic shrine of crestfallen dark punk-metal magnificence where the core essence of bands like Planks, His Hero Is Gone, Godflesh/Jesu, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Neurosis, Amebix, and Altar of Plagues sublimate into the arms of omnipotent gloom.
(Press Note)
*Wow, this is some seriously dark, gloomy, and esoteric sounding doom, post metal, dark wave, and experimental cold wave. Il nuovo mare makes for an amazing listen and should not be missed. Highly recommended! Enjoy!
Look for Il nuovo mare to be released on March 31st via Sentient Ruin Laboratories, Shove, Unquiet, and Sangue Dischi records.

Crucial Rip, Dahmed- Desire To Disembowel Split EP (2017)
Genre: Slam, Brutal Death Metal
Label: Independent
Length: 17"
On this brand new split EP, we are treated to two of the best upcoming and coming brutal acts. Both bands go straight for the throat and don't falter from the opening riffs to the brutal closer. Dahmed takes the first half of the EP.
Right from the gate you are treated to what I think is the most aggressive bass tone I have heard on a slam record. The rhythms are fresh and violent and definitely have a certain kind of beat down feel which really pays off.
Richmond's Crucial Rip takes the second half. Again, heavy and brutal right for the jugular. The guitar and drum work is instantly in the forefront. Some killer solos and having a much more traditional death metal sound to them makes for a great contrast to the first half of the EP and keeps you engaged.
This record will definitely satisfy those looking for Slam or some Death Metal with it's great songwriting and great production.

this is one of those albums that sucks you in and refuses to let go. a perfect mixture of fury and melancholy, brutality and beauty. unfortunately this project is on (indefinite?) hiatus. however if "omnipotens tyrannus" proves to be their swan song, I cant imagine a better way to go out. 2 of these guys are now also in our place of worship is silence (here or here), which is definitely worth your time and monies.
