John Pepe, AKA Juan Brujo, of legendary grindcore band Brujeria passed away last night at the age of 61. They were on tour in support of Gwar.
This follows the passing of the only unmasked member of Brujeria, Ciriaco Quezada (alias Pinche Peach), earlier this year in July.
This one absolutely sucks. I was casually into Brujeria in high school after learning that it was mostly a revolving door of musicians from other bands I was already into. Notably, the following:
And I got really into them after "Bruja Encabronada" was released as a single last summer. They've been a damn hoot.
Cheers to the narcogrind legend.

Holy shit at the beginning riffage and Tangerine Dream joins them on the song as well. This is imo one of their best songs, the proggy spacey stuff mixes with the Brutal Death Metal very fluidly here. Video rules. I'm stoked for the new album.
Also, the new Black Dahlia Murder is very good. About on par with the last three, but not near the first six. Still a very good album and BDM are so dependable. It has some great thrashy parts mixed in with the heavy death parts. I'll have to spin it a few more times. Brian does a good job on vocals. He lacks the punch and pure intensity of Trevor's shrieks, but he does good overall.

Blood Incantation are one of the most consistent bands around, so It's good to see them get love here. Also, been a good year for prog metal (DVNE, Wist, Anciients and Ætheria Conscientia for example)

I'm not big on Blood Incantation, but yeah. That opening was fucking gnarly.
The whole Blood Incantation album dropped. Won't change your mind if you dislike the band, but I loved it. I've already listened a few times. I think this album has catchier and more memorable riffs and sequences than their other two albums. It's been a while since a new metal album has grabbed my heart like this. There's even some thrash and epic black metal parts thrown in with the Death Metal, Floyd, Prog and Ambient. I think it all blends seamlessly, but I've seen others say it's disjointed. It completely hit for me.
Spotify has each of the two 20 minute giant songs broken into three sections which I prefer. Listening to The Stargate as one twenty minute song was hard to really take in or break down the parts.

I didn't know this existed. They have to be thankful this didn't release lmao. It makes Cold Lake seem like Master Of Puppets, and might be some of the worst music I've ever heard. Blackened Industrial Nu Metal with some rapping vocals from Tom G Warrior.

Ratio is 4 to 1 of garbage to quality, but ACID BAAAAAAAATH
OH MY GOD I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN
When The Kite String Pops was my favorite album when I was 17, but I listened to it last week and it holds up amazingly. The mix of genres work perfectly, and they have some of my favorite ballads in Metal.

OG Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno passed away. The very first Maiden record is my 2nd favorite of theirs and is one of my favorites ever. Songs that even Bruce can't do justice like Phantom of the Opera.

Also, happy 33rd birthday to Death's "Human", which was my gateway into more extreme metal.

I also feel like this is the best place to say I never was a fan of this band. A lot of the Power Metal stuff I like is from the 80s TBH (stuff like Vicious Rumors, Manilla Road, Savatage, Crimson Glory and early Metal Church)

He's a punk. Talked all that shit about "taking the country back" and immediately narced when they put the heat to his back. He's a traitor and a sellout. Fuck him.
Embarrassingly, I liked Iced Earth when I was younger, up until The Glorious Burden which was awful. I'm not a big Power Metal guy, but the Spawn concept album peaked my interest as a teen as well as Horror Show. I tried listening to them about 5 years ago and I couldn't really do it. Some good riffs and guitar playing, but the vocals and lyrics are so cheesy. Nevermore does their Progressive Power/Thrash Metal Hybrid sound a lot better.

Conversely, I got back into Iced Earth a year ago, and it sent me down a power kick that I've yet to come back from. Everything after Horror Show sucks, but there are a lot worse people whose music I know we listen to, so I can still rock out to Burnt Offerings now and then.

This has become my favorite album of theirs too. That or "Necrotism"

Hot take: the only real changes between Necroticism and Heartwork are the guitar tones getting crisper and Michael Amott's melodies. Literally everything else is close enough to be called the same, from riff phrasing to tempo.
