Bandcamp Friday haul December 2023 feat. THE LORD & MARTHE and TROPICAL FUCK STORM & KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD


Yeah, that's quiet a long post title for just two EPs. So appearantly, as of now, Bandcamp Friday is still a thing. And this is the exclusively digital stuff I bought this time:




TROPICAL FUCK STORM & KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD - Satanic Slumber Party (2022)

Does this even count? I only just got this collaborative EP on one-sided picture vinyl for a small price and could have digitalized these three tracks, which actually equal just one wild Psychedelic Rock tune sandwiched between an intro and utterly chaotic sound collage. But I was lazy and also wanted this brilliant Experimental Garage Fuzz excess in my Bandcamp collection.
This surely works as a warning in case you're ever planning on visiting Australia. When you're down under and see a couple of bands hanging around on the sidewalk, better don't come near them without substance consumption beforehand, or you'll be seriously confused!





THE LORD & MARTHE - The Eye of Destiny (2023)

Sunn O))) member Greg Anderson aka The Lord has teamed up with another artist yet again. On this two-track EP it's new Southern Lord signing Marthe and they're both paying tribute to Quorton. I've actually never immersed myself into the discography of Bathory, so I'm just familiar with the work through covers and the undeniably still ongoing wide influence on the whole Metal scene. So here's another piece of that puzzle!

The title track "The Eye of Destiny" is a mix of Drone with conanthebarbarianous fanfares and a vocal performance quite akin to Ana von Hausswolff's evil banshee mode. A haunting piece, one of the best The Lord's collaborations have called into existence yet.
"Wisps of the Black Serpent" has a little more of a folksy storytelling vibe - if can can call it that in this thick and mighty Drone Metal soundscape - and with the some very Black Metal-ish vocal deliveries.

All in all thirteen and a half minutes of low frequency greatness and epic atmosphere.
