Satan's Basement - Preview 2007​-​2010

Artist: Satan's Basement

Album Preview 2007-2010

Year: 2010

Genre(s): Death metal, sludge, hardcore

I've been working on my next full length album for like 3 years now, and haven't done a release since the split with Morgue Rat in 2008.  That's when I figured it'd be time to at least release a short preview album so people know I'm not dead.  The funny thing is, I still consider Satan's Basement to be my main project, even though I haven't released an album in three years.  Satan's Basement is something you should listen to.  Now you can.

DJ Fartbot - Instinctive Obliteration

Artist: DJ Fartbot

Album: Instinctive Obliteration

Year: 2008

Genre(s): Electronica, experimental, video game music

About 5 years back, before I had a million projects, I started DJ Fartbot as a joke project for about 2 days.  Then I started taking it seriously and changed the name to Satan's Basement.  After a while I wanted to start making electronic music, and that's when DJ Fartbot came back.  This is the first full length DJ Fartbot album I ever released... and currently the only one.  Check it out, figure out what genre of electronic music you think it is, then listen to it one million times.

Album: Kingdom of False Existence

Year: 2009

Genre(s): Experimental, ambient, psychedelic, space rock, doom, acoustic

After doing the Bongripper/MZRCDXVL/The Muzzler/Republican Hatefuck/The Astronaut King show last night, I figured I'd add some of my music to the blog too.  The album is 79 minutes of varying genres, if you can define it, let me know what exact genre you'd call it.  Drumless.  Just guitar, two songs with vocals, and various effects.  Heavily improvised, varying sounds, check it out, and come to a concert some day!  If you like it, buy a copy of the CD! Also check out some more of my stuff on bandcamp and get it in FLAC- http://theastronautking.bandcamp.com/

Baptism/Republican Hatefuck split

Artists: Baptism/Republican Hatefuck

Album: Baptism/Republican Hatefuck split

Year: 2010

Genre(s): Grindcore/hardcore/thrash

Two great Illinois bands together on one awesomely crushing split CD.  The guy behind Baptism, Mike Miller, is in MZRCDXVL, and also does a lot of artwork for bands like the cover of Bongripper's new album Satan Worshiping Doom and the last Sick/Tired 7".  Baptism is some heavy and thrashy hardcore.  If you like Today is the Day, you'll love Baptism.  Republican Hatefuck is a two piece grind band with a drum machine.

See them live, buy the albums, but first...

Salome - Terminal

Artist: Salome
Album: Terminal
Year: 2010

Salome is a fantastic female-fronted doom band. An Accident Of History has to be one of the most bad-ass drone/doom tracks I've heard this year; and the other tracks are straight up crush-your-face-in doom. Get it.
