ALBUMS OF THE WEEK. Here are the nine albums that got the most plays from me this week. The clear winner this time was Dissection’s Reinkaos. This was an exceptional week filled with new-to-me albums. Spirit Adrift’s “Enlightened in Eternity” stayed on the list, and is one of my favorite 2020 releases. Wayfarer’s “A Romance With Violence” is an awesome new black metal album with an “old west” motif that blew me away. Undeath’s new drop, “Lesions of a Different Kind,” might be the filthiest death metal album this year. I got an old Silberbach tape, “Inferno,” that carries the torch for German BM nicely. Lots of other goodness here that made this week highly pleasurable and exciting to be a music addict. ☠️ 1. Dissection - Reinkaos 2. Spirit Adrift - Enlighted in Eternity (2020) 3. Silberbach - Inferno 4. Bolt Thrower - War Master 5. Wayfarer - A Romance With Violence (2020) 6. Crown of Asteria - Rauðskinna 7. Undeath - Lesions of a Different Kind (2020) 8.

So a few months ago I came into possession of a bunch of tapes put out by Akashic Envoy Records, and just got started listening to them today. The first one on the stack was Crown of Asteria - Rauðskinna. Wow. Just wow. This is atmospheric black metal from Michigan with a hefty emphasis on nature. It’s excellent. This looks to be a one-woman project. In addition to being a highly talented musician, her nature photography skills are stunning (check it: @crownofasteria ). Give her a follow, and definitely check out this album on Bandcamp.
