Our sisters and daughters are under attack by the religiously militant politicians in Texas. Ladies, I’m sorry you have to live like this. But you’re not under his eye completely here because Texas still affords us the freedom to choose what bands’ music we put into our bodies. And Texas has a ton of great bands to help us through the misery of evangelical fundamentalism.

What is your favorite Texas band right now?

TEXAS METAL! I wasn't born in Texas, but there are plenty of good bands here that justify staying. Here's a small sampling:⁠ ☠️⁠ Necrofier⁠ Night Cobra⁠ Frozen Soul⁠ Malignant Altar⁠ Sleeping Ancient⁠ Power Trip⁠ Oath of Cruelty⁠ Paingiver⁠ ☠️⁠ What's your favorite Texas metal bands?⁠

ALBUMS OF THE WEEK: Here are the nine albums that got the most plays from me this week. The clear winner this time was Véhémence - Par le Sang Versé. This is medieval-themed melodic black metal from France.  There's an Mgła vibe here, with the guitar and drums especially pummeling in a cool contrast with the folksy elements. I listened to this a zillion times and will likely keep this on rotation for awhile. I also have two great Houston-based bands on the list: Sleeping Ancient and Paingiver. Sleeping Ancient plays atmospheric black metal and their album, There Is No Truth But Death, is an excellent representative of the genre. Paingiver plays filthy old school death metal along the lines of bands like Witch Vomit. Check out their great new 4-track EP, Deorum Mortis. I'm so happy that my adopted hometown has so many excellent bands. ☠️ 1. Véhémence - Par le Sang Versé 2. Skeletonwitch - Breathing The Fire 3. Sleeping Ancient - There Is No Truth But Death 4. Black Sabbath - Live at Asbury Park, 1975 5. Afsky - Ofte jeg drømmer mig død (2020) 6. Khemmis - Hunted 7. Batushka - Panihida 8. Paingiver - Deorum Mortis (2020) 9. Skeletonwitch - Beyond The Permafrost ☠️

ALBUMS OF THE WEEK: Here are the nine albums that got the most plays from me. The top two spots go to Transilvania, an Austrian black metal band that I just discovered this week. Transilvania released a new album on January 1st called “Of Sleep and Death,” and it is awesome. Their 2018 debut album, “The Night of Nights,” is also excellent. This kind of BM is like candy to me, and I can’t get enough of it. The remaining albums are returning favorites by Undeath, Dissection, Necropanther, Sleeping Ancient, Minenwerfer, and Haunt. ☠️ 1. Transilvania - Of Sleep and Death (2021) 2. Transilvania - The Night of Nights 3. Undeath - Lesions of a Different Kind 4. Dissection - Storm of the Light’s Bane 5. Necropanther - The Doomed City 6. Sleeping Ancient - There is No Truth But Death 7. Minenwerfer - Alpenpässe 8. Dissection - The Somberlain 9. Haunt - Triumph ☠️

HOUSTON BLACK METAL! I've been waiting to get this one for awhile, and it finally arrived. Sleeping Ancient is an atmospheric black metal band from Houston, Texas. Their 2019 debut album is "There Is No Truth But Death" and it is absolutely stellar! This is a little hard to find on vinyl, but you can snag one of the 300 copies they pressed on Bandcamp. Give @sleepingancient a follow and some focused listening time for an awesome experience.⁠

Today I did a therapeutic run to one of my favorite record shops in Houston, @soundexchange1 (stellar metal selection here!). Wound up with a fistful of CDs: Wicked Innocence, Thulcandra, Carcass, Sleeping Ancient, and Judas Priest. Where to begin?
