This week on GIMME METAL Radio:
Crypta Guest DJ Special – Slashing, debilitating death metal is exactly what’s on tap from this Brazilian/Dutch powerhouse. Crypta is the new project featuring Nervosa alumni bassist Fernanda Lira and drummer Luana Dametto, plus Sonia Anubis (Cobra Spell, ex-Burning Witches) and Tainá Bergamaschi (ex-Hagbard). The band released their Echoes Of The Soul debut last week via Napalm Records. Their significant sonic texture derived from various death metal subgenres and traces of classic thrash becomes instantly evident as the album begins, reflective of the entirely vicious, infernal aura the ten-track debut is about to unleash. Crypta unbridles high-powered sonic demons and nourishes cumulative, explosive energy with raging guitar riffs, Lira’s unmistakable vocal color and Damettos’s menacing drums. Dametto will take over the GIMME METAL console this week and Anubis will join for a show in July. Both shows are guaranteed to be filled with some truly sick selections! Don’t miss it.
Blazon Rite Guest DJ Special – The global pandemic-related obstacles facing Blazon Rite were not uncommon: they went months without rehearsal, let alone playing a show, and had difficulty in finding a proper studio to record their first full-length album. Undeterred, the band waited patiently until restrictions were eased to practice, jammed furiously to get up to speed, then decided to go the DIY route to record the album by themselves. A situation marred by inconvenience and isolation instead bore an album of unflinching metal glory, Endless Halls Of Golden Totem. Striking quickly after the release of their debut four-song Dulce Bellum Inexpertis EP released in 2020, the members of Blazon Rite — founder/primary songwriter/guitarist James Kirn, vocalist Johnny Halladay, bassist Pierson Roe, and drummer Ryan Haley — worked off a series of compositions Kirn wrote before the EP was tracked. Whereas the EP had a cohesive batch of songs tied to a concept, the cuts on Endless Halls Of Golden Totem utilize a variety of tempos, structures, textures, and hooks evoking hallmark moments of proto and power metal full of savage guitar moves. Welcome Halladay for his GIMME METAL guest DJ debut!
Frozen Soul Guest DJ Special – These frost-fixated Texans have exploded with their own brand of death metal (and beer!) well documented on their new Century Media release Crypt Of Ice featuring strident riffs, kinetic drums, and corpse-cold vocals hovering over the proceedings. Frozen Soul lives up to their name as the sound of death metal at its most cold and classic. Riff after slow, grinding riff, there’s no mistaking the themes of isolation and suffering that permeate the quintet’s massive sonic missives. From the first note of the album opener, it’s like the march of Game of Thrones’ Night King put to sound: nothing subtle about it at all. More than a few have tossed around comparisons to Bolt Thrower on ice. Chill out with the band during their first ever GIMME guest DJ throw down!
This week on GIMME METAL TV:
Reflectivore Album-Film – Duluth-based, sludge-ridden, experimental post-metal band Reflectivore will share a short film soundtracked by the entirety of their debut self-titled album. Filmed by True Norse films and directed by Kjell Kvanbeck, GIMME METAL TV is honored to air this beautiful marriage between image and sound about loss in memoriam of member Allen Cragin’s late wife’s battle with cancer. While the film is about loss, it is even more about the journey of a beautiful, intelligent, caring, and inspirational person that served as mother, wife, and friend to so many involved in this project. A person with a rare approach to making the most of her time, no matter how limited it was.
