Antigama/Psychofagist (split)—9 Psalms of an Antimusic to Come (2012)
If I couldn't have a new Psychof
agist full-length in 2012, at least I have this short split album to tide me over. Adding extra appeal is the fact that they cover Tom Waits' "Misery is the River of the World" in their trademark avant-grindcore style (unfortunately I can't find it on YouTube though). Also a plus is the fact that the band they're sharing this split with, Antigama, is pretty damn good, though I have to admit this is the first I've heard of them. Their track "For Just One Breath" is sort of a metal equivalent of "Stayin' Alive" in that it's pure walking down the sidewalk strutting your stuff music, though in this case it's more of a black t-shirt scenario than a white leisure suit one. Check it out:
