42.) Antediluvian – Through the Cervix of Hawaah


This is one of the heaviest albums of the year. Hell, of the past few years. The sound is absolutely suffocating. This is what it must sound like to drown, to be deep in a stone cave when water rushes in because you’ve set off a trap. The guitars are liquidy but so, so dense. The vocals are buried in the middle of the mix, and they’re already in an insanely low register, so that the vocals only complicate the crushing, suffocating atmosphere that this album achieves. It’s remarkable, and I imagine that some of you could have a very emotional reaction/rejection of this album. It’s almost panic-inducing; a good reminder of the sheer emotional power that extreme metal music can have.
