Jan 082018

In an effort to catch up with new music that appeared last week (or in some cases that I only discovered last week), I’ve resorted to a two-part OVERFLOWING STREAMS post. And for those who haven’t noticed the format of these posts, they’re a form of personal surrender to the flood of new music. I enjoy writing thoughts about what I want to recommend, but in posts such as this one I just let the music speak for itself because there’s so much to recommend that I don’t have time to blurt out my own reactions.

In the first part of this post I decided to collect only new split releases that I’ve recently found. To be sure, these aren’t the only splits that I’ve discovered recently — some I intend to listen to but haven’t heard yet. These, I’ve at least listened to once and have had positive reactions, and perhaps you will too. The first one is really hot off the presses, since it just appeared over the weekend.

Release Date: Jan. 4, 2018
Label: W.T.C. Productions

Note: Horna also released a new album over the weekend. I’m including the stream of that one in the second Part of this post.

I found Horna to be rather disappointing on the two past albums, but damn it, they sound ripping this time.

I just recently discovered Lihhamon and they are a monster in the death/black/war metal space.
