My new mix is called
Poseidon's Pubes (Cannot Be Trimmed By Mere Mortal Tools). It's a heavier set this week, with more metal and less math and weird stuff.

| Wo Fat - The Conjuring |
We start with a brand new track from Dallas's
Wo Fat, from this summer's new album
The Conjuring! Nothing surprising here, but I always love to hear their stuff. And that album cover is rad. I'm going to Dallas on Monday...wish they were playing there!
New Philly rock band
Doom Whore is next. They have a five-track release on Bandcamp with very short songs. I went with the longest, "Theese," which is also the last. It's angry, noisy punk rock, and it's great.
I mentioned
Reward for a Dead Man the other day, and I put their song "Worm" here in the mix. Whatever's going on in Russia lately, it's apparently resulting in some great music. This is straight up metal at its finest. I do like the band's vocalist better than Jon Howard's voice that was used on their track "Poisoned Words." It's melodic, and I always prefer growl-singing to yelling or screaming. It takes a lot more effort to come up with a melody, and I think it actually sounds more badass.
Next is Finnish band
Doomsday Inc., which was a Black Label Society cover band until they recently started recording original songs. And they sound amazing. This one's called "Pacify the Universe."
Then it's some stoner doom metal from Portland's
Heavy Voodoo, the title track from their new three-song EP
Cursed Is the Serpent. Pure rock 'n' roll.
Then we travel to Spain and hear from a heavy band called
Cementerio. They have a four-track EP called
Luna Hiena, and I chose the title track. Doesn't get much heavier than this.
Then we get a little hardcore with a Hungarian band called
Octahed and a track called "The Great Splendour of Tameless Wrath." There's something almost soothing about it despite the death-metal styled vocal. It's interesting. Their new album is called
The Four Directions and Love as an Underlying Force. Sounds like a P.M. Dawn album, but it couldn't be more different.
Then we get more hardcore with
Look Left Swing Right, from Grand Rapids. Their new self-titled album is available for a donation to their cause, which is apparently rocking out as crazy as possible. The closer "Bubblerubbish" is technical and quite impressive.
Germany's
Into the Wild is next. I think it's great that bands from all over the world are able to tap into the spirit of the American South. This is great southern stoner metal with very nice vocals. I'd love to see them live. Their album is called
Restless, and I chose the song "Eruption."
I closed it out with a Swedish blues metal band called
Lé Betre with a track called "Sir Meadows." Good stuff.
I felt like I got the most excited hearing Cementerio, but I may change my mind later. Enjoy!
