Xibalba – ‘Años En Infierno’ (Southern Lord)

Posted by | May 25, 2020 | ,

John B reckons that this fourth album from Californian death metallers is “brutal in a great way”. It wastes no time and just starts out right in your face with heavy aggressive tones. Our man reckons that it is not for the faint of heart or even some fans of death metal might find this a bit heavier and darker than they are used to. Until the second to last track, where there is a very sudden shift in the tone. By now you should know JB loves surprises like that, and this is a good one. Sure, there were times when he thought things were getting a little too similar but all in all a great album that kept his interest…

Quinn The Brain are a new band from Houston who this coming week are releasing their first official EP, ‘Open Wide’, which Gerald S can pretty safely say is his EP of the year. It was a show by the awesome Pretty Vacant (also from Houston) where Arta Salehi (vocals/ guitar) and or resident stetson-wearer met by chance a few months ago. The G man has been playing the EP nonstop since probably the end of February or beginning of March, and more recently recently braved the Covid lockdown and utilized the power of the internet to chat formally to the frontwoman about the band’s past, present, and future.
