VA – Halloween 2011

Lot of mixtapes lately – but metal for Halloween is a must. Download! [134mb Mediafire]

Blood Ceremony – My Demon Brother: Great album.
Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats – Ritual Knife: Also a great album, came out on CD-R. Copies of the subsequent limited-to-150 vinyl have sold for >$500!
Red Fang – Into The Eye: Hopefully these guys show up on Portlandia season 2.
Mastodon – Stargasm: The tightest metal band of late?
Wolvhammer – Shadowhorn: Nasty.
Dark Castle – Seeing Through Time: I thought their first record was meh, but they’ve improved a LOT.
Tombs – Silent World: Lots of heat for Tombs. I hear echoes of Fugazi.
Hammers of Misfortune – The Grain: Beautiful song. Melodic metal from SF.
Nine Inch Nails – Theme For Tetsuo The Bullet Man: Okay, so NIN isn’t really metal. Still great though.
Blood Stain Child – Stargazer: Out of nowhere Japanese metal/techno fusion band internet peeps are going crazy for. Heavy J-Pop component. RIYL Spawn OST.
Wolves In The Throne Room – Permanent Changes In Consciousness: The album is as good as Pitchfork says.
Alcest – Percées De Lumière: Epic French band, new album due out in 2012.
Moonsorrow – Huuto: Possibly even more epic Finnish band, their new record is their best.
