Wicked Innocence – “Omnipotence”

looks like Classic Extreme Metal got taken down, so i might re-post a few things i’d grabbed from there, starting with this slab of weirdo tech-y death metal and some of the most guttural vocals i’ve ever heard.

Vampires of Dartmoore – “Dracula’s Music Cabinet”

another one of these who knows if the story behind it is true or total bullshit “rare” novelty things, but in this case who cares what the story is. shit is basically a spitting “image” of that freaky psych/jazz stuff that used to play in the background of those old-ass Spiderman cartoons from the 60s whenever Spidey had to go to the center of the planet to fight some mystical being in some forgotten land or some shit… and if ya got a problem with that then get yer comic-book n’ cartoon-hatin’ ass offa mah interwebz!

Diminished Men

i’ve been listening to this band’s myspace page for months now in anticipation of them releasing something… and it looks like my wishes are about to come true when they unveil “Shadow Instrumentals” on the reknowned Abduction Records on Sept. 24. in the meantime, i found this live radio broadcast on Seattle’s KEXP to tide me over with some more of their swampy, trippy surftastic instrumentals that bring to mind The Mermen and more than a hint of their label-“benefactors”… and it’s stuck on repeat. love it like i do.
