The best independent new heavy music playlist on Spotify, now per email
Welcome to theĀ To The TeethĀ newsletter. Iā€™ll bring you up to date with new heavy music. As always: listen to almost everything at the playlist onĀ Spotify, check out theĀ FacebookĀ page and for support please head over toĀ Patreon! Peppers are hot, hot hot.
Iā€™ll pick out my favourites,Ā the rest is in the playlist!
Plus: the year is halfway! That means itā€™s time to look back with the list of the best records of 2021 so far. Youā€™ll find it (*deep voice*) down below.
Two albums you need to hear (and some more)
At The Gates - The Fall Into Time
šŸŒ¶ļø At The Gates - The Nightmare of Being (melodeath from Sweden)
No introduction necessary, but I will tell you this is one of my favourite comeback stories. I like everything theyā€™ve done from 2014 onwards and I think itā€™s amazing theyā€™ve come back this creative and full of bravado - and even a little proggy. Cool band, doing cool shit.
šŸŒ¶ļø Year of No Light - Consolamentum (sludge/doom/post from France)
Youā€™ve got to put a little effort into this one: this band takes itā€™s time to build up and to take apart again. Layered intensity, carefully composed and brought with the perfect production: not too smooth, not too gritty.
Thereā€™s more: Drawn & Quartered (šŸŒ¶ļø death from the USA), Mannveira (black from Iceland), Friisk (atmoblack from Germany), Lost in Grey (symphonic from Finland), Dharma (šŸŒ¶ļø death/folk from Taiwan), Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (death/folk/heavy from Germany), Sallow Moth (death from the USA), Nifrost (viking/folk/black from Norway), Scythelord (šŸŒ¶ļø death/thrash from Sweden/USA), Noctambulist (black/death from the USA), Diabolizer (death from Turkey) and Stress Angel (blackened death from the USA). The rest is in the playlist!
New singles
Obscura - Solaris
New songs: Obscura (prog/tech death from Germany), King Woman (šŸŒ¶ļø doom/post from the USA), Shining (avantgarde prog from Norway), Poppy (groove/industrial/pop from the USA), Hail Spirit Noir (prog/psych rock/black metal from Greece), Kryptan (šŸŒ¶ļø black from Sweden - with members of October Tide), Netherbird (symphonic from Sweden) and Wraith (blackened speed/punk from the USA). The rest is in the playlist!
