0:24-10:21 PURE WRATH (Indonesia) Bleak Days Ahead, Pt. II — A Best of 2022 band.  Tormented, distressed black metal with moments of beauty. Another stunning album. 11:42-16:07 REEKING AURA (NY/NJ) Gorged Beyond Grudges — A Best of 2022 band. Members of Artificial Brain and Buckshot Facelift. Heavy bouts of groove in tight, precise death metal. 16:44-24:16 NORTHERN GRAVES (TX/CAN) Endless (feat. Nick Block) — Lush black with organic instrumentation creating a cold blizzard from south Texas. DOES make sense the dramatic lead singer is from Saskatchewan. 24:38-31:20 NEQUIENT (Chicago) Obsolete Machines — Intricate, mathy, brash hardcore with a brain piercing Converge-y edge.  31:54-35:56 COGNIZANCE (UK) Witness Marks — Spacing out in technical compositions and ear wormy breaks. 36:11-39:05 PIG'S BLOOD (WI) Aftermath — Guttural raw death with sweet riffs. 39:31-43:42 PORTRAYAL OF GUILT (Austin) The Last Judgement — Weirdo sludge and black metal. Love the experimental and tongue-in-cheek effects. 44:02-50:07 DOODSWENS (Netherlands) The Black Flame — Horror in a 2-piece of slicing black.  50:27-END LIVIDUS (Portland) Jettatori  — Debut black metal mishmash.
