Stream TUSCOMA’s “Impeccable” HERE.   As Wellington, New Zealand black/avant metal act TUSCOMA prepares to release their third album, Gu-cci, through Landmine Records in June, MetalSucks is now hosting an exclusive premiere of the LP’s lead single, “Impeccable.”   TUSCOMA’s Gu-cci was recorded by Evan Pope at Studio 11b in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, mixed by Chris Johnson at Electric Bunker in Boston, Massachusetts, mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music in Cornwall-On-Hudson, New York, and completed with photography by George L Clarke and design by Kurt and Olga Williams.   With the release of the new song, bassist Craig Leahy reveals, "'Impeccable' is the most accurate representation of where TUSCOMA's mindset was coming into writing Gu-cci. Everyone has their own rules on what a blackened band has to represent, what they have to sound like. Fuck that, it's all fashion baby!"   MetalSucks writes how Gu-cci overall, “challenges the extreme metal mold in a way that will excite fans of Imperial Triumphant or The Ominous Circle,” noting of the “Impeccable” single itself, “The black metal influences are obviously here, but they’re tempered by unexpected moments of swinging momentum and math-ish disharmony. Meanwhile, the track never gets bogged down in its own extremity, but instead feels sharp at all its angles, driven by a sense of excitement and contempt.”   Deploy TUSCOMA’s “Impeccable” at maximum volume now only through MetalSucks RIGHT HERE.   Landmine Records, formed by members of Blindfolded And Led To The Woods, will release Gu-cci digitally and on vinyl on June 30th. Find preorders now at THIS LOCATION.   Watch for additional audio samples, video content, and more to post over the weeks ahead.   Formed in 2018, TUSCOMA quickly crafted a reputation of deliv­ering the most intense live show you could attend. The hotly anticipated debut Arkitecturenominus and follow-up record Discourse were both critically and publicly praised as being intense, angular, and often uncomfortable experiences that represented some of the best New Zealand metal had to offer. This led to two successful tours of Europe and touring around their home country with Deafheaven, Wiegedood, Wolves In The Throne Room, Belphegor, and many other top-tier metal acts.   Now, 2022 sees TUSCOMA in preparations to release their fol­low-up to Discourse with the ravenous third album, Gu-cci. Marking the band’s first recording with a dedicated bass player, Gu-cci blends atmospheric textures of early shoegaze bands with punishing contemporary songwriting and rhythm sections reminiscent of black metal and hardcore creating a visceral and completely unique experience for hardened vet­erans of heavy music who might know exactly what to expect from a modern metal album. An ambitious but expertly delivered album, its five expansive tracks encompass more than thirty-eight minutes, the songs ranging from less than four minutes to nearly fourteen in length.   Review copies of Gu-cci will be issued in the days ahead.

ORGAN TRAIL – APPETITE FOR DISSECTION (Review by Varg The Mighty )

Today’s review is of American Deathgrind band Organ Trail’s new album.

This release consists of 14 fast-paced assaults of relentless gore at its finest. With a really classic sound that may remind of Carcass with visible additions of American elements such as extra breakdowns or many dissonances, no track exceeds the sold-out length of 3 minutes.

Instead, here you’ll only find chaotic and rotten music for the most depraved cavemen out there. The listener shouldn’t expect nothing new on this album, only a blunt display of Extreme Metal brought to its limit once again for everyone’s pleasure. If you want something fast, straightforward, aggressive and putrid, look no further.

I recommend this album to fans of Deathgrind. My rating is of 8,5/10.

TALIESIN –FACELESS ( Review by Varg The Mighty )

 

Today’s review is of Australian Progressive Metal band Taliesin’s debut album.

This release offers a display of compositional brilliance which may not only be enjoyed by progheads but appreciated too by other Metal fans who feel like listening to something more atmospheric. Through a pleasing and catchy vocal performance together with some memorable riffs, some songs may stick for a while in the listener’s subconscious.

Nonetheless, it’s Progressive nature may still be somewhat dizzying (though certainly not as much as other bands’ albums) to some people. Some tracks also take an even more laid back approach that resembles more the Rock direction of Progressive music. Overall, this is a solid full-length with some good songs and lots of interesting subtleties worth checking out a few more times by those interested. My personal highlights are “Awakened By Darkness” and “Faceless Women”.

I recommend this album to fans of Progressive Rock and Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.
