Hour of Penance
Much as I hate to do this, I’m going to resort to the format I used last Saturday when I was similarly pressed for time — just serve up some of the new songs and videos I’d like to recommend from what I’ve encountered this week, sans verbiage from me (except in one case). I’m probably going to do the same thing tomorrow, because I have a long list of recommendations.
My shortage of time is going to persist from now through the weekend, thanks to travel, meetings, and nose-to-the-grindstone efforts required by that thing that pays all the bills around here (my fucking day job).

CREPUSCLE
I did jot the following thought about the next track after I heard it the first time: “A grand satanic ballroom performance where the dancers elevate into the air and burn into sulfurous emanations as they whirl like dervishes, leaving nothing but their seductive but noxious aromas behind…”

The new song by “Hour of Penance” is untamable fury and overwhelming force.
Shit, this post is SWOLE!
New Xoth, Hour of Penance AND High Command! Dang!
That Exhumed video is absolutely terrible though. Needed a LOT more blood.
What IS your job, Id be curious to know..)
I used to say “drug mule”, but I guess people weren’t buying that. I’ll just say it’s a very not-metal white collar calling. Pay is good, hours and travel are very unpredictable.
Can you tell us what realm of industry its in?
White collar, I hear ya. Well, unpredictability aside, another fine collection of songs.
Travel reading tips:
Huysmans – Over there
Huysmans – Against nature
Bulgakov – Master and Margarita
So basically a drug mule that wears a suit and tie. Smart thinking.
