Best New Heavy Metal Releases Week of September 23rd, 2022

Another week dominated by releases by some of the biggest names in Metal. With albums being released from Stratovarius, Venom Inc. and Gaerea this was a tough week for some of the lesser known bands to make much of an impact but that is why I do this. There were some other amazing releases from this week that deserve a bit of attention. Maybe they aren’t quite at the level of the big bands but it all has to start somewhere and, to be completely honest, they are not far behind.

The list is once again insanely long and filled with a ton of varying genres. Maybe I should mention this once again, but just because I put albums in different sections doesn’t mean that it is a fact. You could listen to an album that I put in the “worthy of a listen” section and think it is the best album of the entire week. I enjoy every metal genre to one degree or another but I understand what can appeal to fans of certain genres on a larger scale. What I put in the highlight “best of the week” section is what I really liked this week as well as what I believe most fans of metal will also find appealing. If nothing else, it is a one stop shop for finding out about new music you may not have heard of. If you listen to terrestrial radio and the garbage they are peddling for any length of time, you will realize just how important that can be…lol

Let’s get to the highlights!

Gaerea-Mirage (Black)**

Stratovarius-Survive (Power)**

I have never talked about two highlight albums together before and I probably wouldn’t have if I had not listened to these two albums back to back, but I did. Going from one of these albums and then to the other is a flat out amazing listening experience (if you enjoy both genres, of course). These two albums are so diametrically opposed to each other that it truly feels like going from this dark, depressive and angry feeling to this uplifting, bright and happy feeling in mere moments. You want the ANTI Stratovarius? Listen to Gaerea. You want the ANTI Gaerea? It’s Stratovarius all day long. Listening to these albums back to back almost feels like a rollercoaster of emotions and one that is an insanely enjoyable ride. I highly recommend listening to these albums back to back if you enjoy both genres. If you don’t, both albums are fantastic on their own and will certainly be on a LOT of “Best Of” end-of-year lists.

Venom Inc-There’s Only Black (Heavy/Speed)**

The drama surrounding the “Venom” name and the issues between Cronos and Mantas aside, I will freely admit, I have never really been a fan of their music. I always found it passable. That feeling is probably what kept me from listening to the Venom Inc album “Ave” in 2017. Well, that mistake was rectified after listening to this album over the weekend. I guess we certainly now know where the talent lies between these two bands, as this album knocked me on my ass. This is classic Heavy Speed Metal bordering on Thrash that highlights some absolutely killer riffs and inspired drumming that will get you to bang your head whether or not you want to. The debut album is just as good, so give them both a listen. Perfect example of why not to judge music before you actually listen to it. Think I went on a rant about preconceived ideas on a previous post, maybe I should listen to my own advice.

Null-Origin (Atmospheric Black)**

I have always enjoyed Null since first hearing them in 2019 on their debut “Lore of a Sleeping Forest”. I always thought there was a LOT of talent in this band but even I am shocked by just how damn good this album is. ANY other week this would easily be a shoe in for pick of the week and to be honest with more time this could actually be the best album released this week. That is the big downside to doing what I do is the limited time I have to fully digest albums. This album is complex and beautiful while remaining aggressive. It’s like watching those natural disaster videos on YouTube. You are horrified at the destruction but also fascinated with the power and beauty of what nature can do. If that sounds like a messed up analogy, blame the band. I got the idea from the outstanding album art, which depicts a tornado…lol

Reanimator-Commotion (Thrash)**

If you have read this blog for any length of time, you know that my all-time favorite genre is Thrash Metal. That can be good and bad for the new Thrash Metal bands I come across. I will give anything labeled Thrash Metal a chance but I am also a LOT harsher when including the genre to the list as a highlight album. Reanimator ran that gauntlet and came out the other side with a truly fantastic album. Number one on the list for what makes a great Thrash Metal album is the riffs and Reanimator has this in spades. Number two on the list is the drumming moving from the faster sections to the breakdown/groove sections with ease with some tasty fills and once again, Reanimator hits the bullseye. Finally, some shreddy shreddy leads that make me happy happy to put that icing on the cake. At the end of the day, Reanimator have delivered a fantastic album from start to finish and one that is VERY worthy of inclusion on the highlight section.

I will close things up there and have to apologize once again for rambling on as the post is once again longer than I actually want it to be but damn, when you love Heavy Metal music and there is so much great music out there, how can you not want to spread the word! Until next week, and as always,

okay but my first thought on this tweet was “holy shit, the trans flag sounds like a metal album name!”

so, i decided to take a random black metal album cover (anti terrestrial black metal by magoth) and make it. this is the result.

sledge ride | sci-fi au | 432

They go down over the pole in a long shriek of metal and end in a column of smoke.

It's madness to try for it, miraculous that Blanky brings her down in one piece. The captain would never have risked it. But the captain is dead, and all systems failing, and out here on the edge of known space, in the great uncharted void between Ross's Star and the Bering Arm, there are so few choices. Against all odds, a terrestrial radio signal on the scanner. This or die choking, freezing, in the black. Francis makes the call.

They are provisioned for a sixty-cycle drift: air, water, sachet protein, fuel cells. On survival rationing they might make six months or seven. But the atmo planetside is breathable with the right filters, and though the land is barren there are seeds in the hydroponics kit; they have always been a resourceful species. There is always hope.

What there isn't: enough light to run their panels for more than an hour a day. Enough range on their jury-rigged comms tower to uplink. Enough synthed blood to operate. Enough pills. When the third engine went they lost most of C-deck; what remains of the medbay would barely fill a locker. (One of the junior techs is losing himself: against every protocol to ask what he's been taking but Francis nearly does anyway. The boy doesn't look well. But then none of them do.)

And still, always, that signal, out there somewhere moving through the icy fog, faint but unquestionable. Back in early days he'd had Des Voeux run the patterns: sentient, every time. No sign of human wreckage but you never know: there have been ships lost out this way before.

On the sixtieth day they start overland: south, where there should be sunlight, and they might be able to charge a battery (where they might be able to grow something).

On the ninety-seventh day the anti-grav on the sledges fails.

Funny, Francis thinks, how far we come just to walk.

A hundred men and women, more or less, chosen for their skills—their intelligence, their strength—their sheer willingness to discover. Reduced, now, to animal muscle, strapped into poorly fashioned harnesses, laughing to one another at the absurdity of it. He wonders how many of them will live.

Across the barren ground James smiles at him: something unsaid there, one way or another. A tension in his jaw. Francis wonders, not for the first time, if he's wounded. But he won't say and Francis won't ask and they will go on like this until one or the other of them falls down.

"John," Francis says. "Give the order."

#12daysofcarnivale #are these.....getting weirder?#i feel like they are.#sorry! sorry!#also this is about half as long as it should be but there are only so many hours and i'm SO TIRED #(still working on day 4 thanks for asking it's AWFUL.)

The Trouble with Alien Zombies

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Soon we’re going to be watching Zack Snyder leave behind the quest for a “grown-up” superhero movie and return to his old playground, the zombie movie. Army of the Dead looks like a huge amount of fun and leaves us wondering why nobody has made a zombie heist movie before (except for Train to Busan sequel, Peninsula), but one of the plot details that has leaked about the film is that Area 51 plays a significant role.

This suggests that the zombie plague may be extraterrestrial in origin. Like most subversions of the zombie apocalypse genre (although Army of the Dead promises a much smaller and more contained “apocalypse” so that all that cash they steal is still worth something) this is actually a plot twist you can trace back to the earliest roots of the genre.

In Night of the Living Dead, the zombie apocalypse (although again, by the end of the film the “ghouls” seem to have been mostly mopped up) is the result of strange radiation emerging from a probe that has returned from Venus. The trope goes back even further than that.

One of the few films that can make a claim to an earlier take on the zombie apocalypse than Night of the Living Dead is the timeless classic Plan 9 from Outer Space. In that film, which we will not be making any jokes about, aliens reanimate the recently dead and drive them to attack the capital cities of the Earth.

In fact, if you want to find pre-George Romero examples of zombie apocalypse stories, the original series of Star Trek has done two. In the episode “Miri” the Enterprise encounters an exact duplicate of Earth, except that humanity has been wiped out by a deadly pandemic that turns every adult human into a violent, raging monster. It’s a premise explored in more detail by Charlie Higson’s YA zombie series The Enemy, and the Netflix series Daybreak.

Star Trek also gives us the brilliantly titled “Operation — Annihilate!”, where a swarm of spacefaring parasites sweep through the galaxy, infecting humanoids and driving them to a violent rage.

Yes, zombie purists might claim both of these are close to 28 Days Later’s “Rage infected humans” than true zombies, but in truth, the genre is big enough to include multitudes, and anything that A: uses human bodies, to B: create more entities like itself, while C: Not appearing to be intelligent, will usually create a story that looks a lot like a zombie story.

Indeed, Star Trek would come back to space zombies again, once more in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode, “Impulse” and again in the pilot episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Is There Death on Mars?

Star Trek is not alone in drinking from this particular well. Early in its run Dark Matter had a space zombie episode. Doctor Who has done two space zombie episodes in the new series alone, “The Waters of Mars”, and “Oxygen” (which used zombie movie tropes for their intended purpose- bringing down capitalism), and that’s just including the ones actually set in space. Hell, even the primitive bandage-and-hospital-gown-wearing Cybermen from “The Doctor Falls” have a very George Romero vibe to them.

The appeal of putting a zombie in a spaceship for a TV show is easy to see. Zombies are a cool and instantly recognisable monster. Spaceships are a cool and instantly recognisable setting. What’s more, while your production values may vary, zombies on a spaceship is a pretty damn cheap concept to realise on screen. Zombies are just however many extras you can afford with some gory make-up. All you need for a spaceship is some suitably set-dressed corridors and maybe a couple of exterior model shots if you’re feeling swish.

And as with the zombie apocalypse genre as a whole, the audience instantly and instinctively understands “the rules” of a zombie story, allowing you to focus on your characters and the solutions they come up with.

The movies are no stranger to the space zombie either. The most straightforward example being The Last Days on Mars, which is pretty much a note-for-note remake of Doctor Who’s “The Waters of Mars” but without David Tennant. Mars is a popular venue, in fact as we see also Martian zombie apocalypses in Doom (2005) and Doom Annihilation (neither of which I watched to research this article, because there are limits). Even the “Ghosts” in Ghosts of Mars (which I did watch) may resemble more of a cross between Mad Max baddies and Evil Dead’s Deadites than zombies, but still, have a certain zombieness about them.

Most recently, in this last year Bruce Willis has starred in not one, but two movies with sub-Doctor Who production values where he fights space zombie-like adversaries (I have watched Breach/Anti-Life and Cosmic Sin, so don’t know why I thought I could get away with being snobby about the Doom movies earlier).

But Doom also raises another point about space zombies – a really popular venue for the extra-terrestrial undead is videogames.

This is for surprisingly very similar reasons to why space zombies are popular on telly and in film. Videogames will get far more creative in designing the appearance of their space zombies – with the Dead Space trilogy setting the bar with their gloriously gory Necromorphs – but the AI for a zombie, environmental navigation aside, seldom needs to be much more complicated than that of a Pac-Man ghost. Space has been a popular videogame setting for as long as videogames have been a thing, thanks to the handy black background it offers, and once again, corridors.

We’ve seen them in Dead Space, in all the Doom games, but also the Halo games in the form of the fungal, cancerous looking, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis-inspired Flood. Mass Effect gives us colonists zombified by the sentient Thorian plant, as well as the more technological “Husks”. And of course, there’s that one Call of Duty map.

Even now the makers of the original Dead Space games are looking to get back in on the action with the upcoming game, The Callisto Protocol.

And yet, while the appeal of space zombies is undeniable, by the same token they just don’t feel quite like “proper” zombie stories.

In Space, Nobody Can Hear You Shout “Brains!”

The problem is this: Your archetypical zombie story is ultimately a siege narrative. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, even twists on the formula like 28 Days Later, Train to Busan, and Pontypool all operate on a similar premise. You and some humans you probably don’t get on with are trapped in a structure (in Train it’s a moving structure, but still counts). Outside of that structure, there are somewhere between hundreds and thousands of zombified humans who want to get in and kill you. The humans keep arguing until the zombies get in and kill everyone.

For this to work you need a structure with a lot of room around it, and a big population of people to be turned into zombies.

Unfortunately the living conditions in space, even in our wildest space future fantasies, tend to be A: Quite claustrophobic, and B: Don’t have many people in.

Even in Dead Space, arguably the best example of a space zombie story, you very often find yourself thinking that if zombies hadn’t killed off this mining ship/space station/mining colony, overpopulation would have.

At the same time, spaceships, space stations and colonies tend to have really good, robust metal doors separating any two parts of the habitat, quickly reducing any zombie plotline to this XKCD cartoon.

But there are workarounds, and ways to use these restrictions to your advantage. Zombies are, by nature, pretty rubbish, slow-moving, stupid, easy to kill in small numbers. Most zombie stories get around this issue by throwing loads of them at you. Space zombie movies can make use of those corridors we mentioned earlier, showing how much scarier a single zombie can be in enforced close quarters.

Zombies also have one major advantage over their living victims – they don’t need to breathe. This is a major plus point in space, offering you the chance to have hordes of zombies crawling along the outer hull of the ship – something we’ve seen in Dead Space and Doctor Who’s “Oxygen”.

At the same time, the space setting also emphasises another key aspect of the zombie story – resource management. In space there is no huge abundance of well-stocked shopping malls or bunkers full of firearms. One of the ways The Last Days on Mars manages to make its very small number of zombies threatening is that their small hab modules have very little that you could use as a weapon.

And yet, space zombies still lack a certain something of their terrestrial counterparts.

It’s Undeath, Jim, but Not as We Know It

The thing is, aside from anything else, zombies are a transformation of the familiar. They look like more beaten-up versions of your neighbours and co-workers. The zombie apocalypse is a scene you can easily imagine on your street, at your pub, your local shopping centre.

Army of the Dead gets this – no matter where you are in the world, the iconography of the Las Vegas strip is familiar and we enjoy seeing it overrun by the undead.

And spaceships just aren’t. You might conceivably end up on holiday in Vegas. You’re statistically unlikely to be an astronaut.

But it’s more than that. Zombies are far more than cheap monsters that require little in the way of make-up or AI programming. The symbolism they carry is incredibly weighty. Earthly zombies have been used to represent capitalism, conformity, Vietnam soldiers, couch potato culture, mob mentality, our instinct towards violence, poverty, our obsession with mobile phones, and our ability to dehumanise one another.

Divorced from our world, from us as we recognise ourselves, that symbolism becomes a lot harder to nail. The zombies in The Last Days on Mars are just zombies. Dead Space’s Necromorphs are maybe a legally-safe satire on Scientology? Pandorum gives us extremely pale evolved human descendants that are extremely zombie-ish, and they certainly exhibit some of the worst bits of humanity, but they also live in a darkened, claustrophobic Hell, so it’s hard to hold it against them.

Zombies rarely represent anything in the way Earth-bound zombies do.

At least, nothing human.

Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Ruin features a sentient alien slime mould-like creature that, in its curiosity and need to explore, infiltrates and takes over the nervous system of the humans it encounters. To an outside observer, they look extremely like zombies, but the lifeform itself isn’t aggressive, just very, very alien. Andrew Skinner’s Steel Frame gives us not only space zombies, but space zombie mechs, and again the “Flood” (not the Halo one) that infects them is implied to be a kind of hivemind.

Most of the space zombies we’ve seen here aren’t what purists would call “true zombies” but are some manner of hivemind. This is true of Halo’s Flood, Mass Effect’s Thorians and Husks, and if we throw the doors to zombie-dom wide open, while they’re very different in the TV series, the Borg of Star Trek: First Contact come across as alien cyber-zombies.

One book to feature relatively harmless alien-created zombies is Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s Roadside Picnic. In that book the aliens aren’t robots or little green men, we just encounter their leftovers and garbage, which are artefacts strange and incomprehensible to humans. That these artefacts somehow raise the dead as mindless automata is a minor side issue – the book is about how alien intelligence might be something so different from ourselves we don’t even recognise it as intelligence.

If there is a space for alien zombies and zombie astronauts in the zombie pantheon, maybe it’s there. Space zombies are scary because they look like us but think so differently that we can’t comprehend them, while Earth zombies are scary because we have oh so much in common with them.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Chris Farnell is the author of Fermi’s Progress, a series of novellas about a prototype FTL ship that blows up every planet it encounters. The latest instalment, Descartesmageddon, features an alien planet undergoing a very different kind of zombie apocalypse. It is available at Scarlet Ferret and Amazon.
