I actually dig this more than the winner.  So it goes nicely done!  Happy New Year!

GORGUST - Ember's Voice

From the upcoming album "Orange Mathematics"

Bunsen - Frontierer

ARTIST: Ehnahre
TITLE: Douve
LABEL: Kathexis
FORMAT: CD
RELEASE: 01/22/2016

The Boston-based ensemble Ehnahre has been pioneering an effort to rethink and redefine what metal and extreme music can be since their debut release in 2008, to a reception equal parts acclaim and condemnation for their sins against the tradition. Douve pushes things even further into the muddy perimeter, incorporating elements of contemporary classical music, serialism, free improvisation, aleatory, free meter, noise, and other experimental techniques. An 18-part cycle based on poet Yves Bonnefoy's "Theatre" from his 1953 book Du mouvement et de l'immobilité de Douve (On the Motion and Immobility of Douve), the album is a window into the distressed mind of a man as he observes the death and decay of his metaphorical beloved, the "watcher of the cold secret." Employing a dizzying variety of timbres, instruments, moods, and stylistic homages, Douve ranges from the delicate shimmer of piano overtones to full-bore metal howl, its emotional intensity only overcome by the density of its harmonies. Sometimes beautiful, frequently disgusting, Douve is not only an aural narrative, but also a display of the group's radical evolution. It is sure to shock the uninitiated, challenge the extreme music veteran, and cement Ehnahre's status as the most forward-thinking metal band on the planet. "Nothing remains except a fire in death's kingdom." On this album Ryan McGuire (bass, voice) and Ricardo Donoso (drums, percussion, electronics) return, along with with new members Richard Chowenhill (guitar) and Jared Redmond (piano), and are joined by vocalist Ken Ueno, who appears on several tracks. Artwork contributed by Matt Saunders.

Ceremony Of Control

 The critically-acclaimed GORGUTS has a bold legacy of progression that permeates their 25 year existence. Each album is distinctly different from, but builds upon, the ones that came before it, steadily expanding and strengthening their vision and musical vocabulary. The new EP 'Pleiades' Dust' is their most adventurous step yet. A singular, 33-minute narrative composition, 'Pleiades Dust' is a deft marriage of extreme metals bombast with the tenants of classical composition. As is their wont, one of metal's most unique and respected bands has created yet another groundbreaking piece of music with 'Pleiades' Dust'.

Order here!

Cast The First Stone

Ion Dissonance - Treading On Thin Ice

I'm not a contest kinda guy, but I did this one for shits and giggles to get out of the Nightmarer full length writing process for a bit.

http://geargods.net/contests/the-drumception-contest-record-your-guitar-part-over-mario-duplantiers-of-gojiras-drums/

I used my Kiesel DC7X and AM7 for the recording and played through an ERGLabs 5150 III 50W profile.

Simon Sludge / Mario Duplantier - Gear Gods #Drumception Contest (Kiesel DC7X)

I wrote this over Mario Duplantier (Gojira)'s drum track for the Gear Gods Drumception contest as a fun exercise in songwriting and a way to try out the Carvin DC700 I just picked up.

INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present CONSUMMATION's debut EP, Ritual Severance. CONSUMMATION are an Australian black/death metal band based in Brisbane and who also share members with Impetuous Ritual. In 2012, they released a self-titled debut demo, which showed a startlingly accomplished aesthetic for an otherwise brand-new band. Patiently lying in wait, perfecting their craft in the shadows, CONSUMMATION are now prepared to make a grand, garish strike with Ritual Severance.

Encompassing two tracks in 21 minutes, Ritual Severance is a gibbering maw of intensity and tension. The songwriting's serpentine and slipstreaming, the execution's crazed and commanding, the recording's raw yet rounded: CONSUMMATION take viscous bestiality and give it leathery dragon-wings of atmosphere. And yet, for all the lurking menace across Ritual Severance, there's a striking amount of nuance in kind, the quintet keenly knowing when to scale back the attack and let the sinister energies simmer. As such, these two tracks feel more focused and shorter than their fairly epic lengths; not surprisingly, their respective titles - "The Weightless Grip of Fire" and "Blighted Ovum" - vividly illustrate the music's central contents.

Damned, disgusting, and dragged through both space and swarm: the Ritual Severance commences with CONSUMMATION!
