Artist: Neckbeard Deathcamp

Album: So Much For The Tolerant Left

Genre: Harsh Noise/War Metal

Country: 

Label: Prosthetic Records

Preview Track:

With So Much For The Tolerant Left, Neckbeard Deathcamp return with a second full length helping of what they do best; piss off Nazis and play some loud, proud, and unapologetic black metal. Surprisingly, deep analysis of their music does little good for anyone. By their own admission via the description on their bandcamp page, the album was "RECORDED WITH THE SAME CONTEMPT FOR CLEAN PRODUCTION AND MUSIC THEORY" as their previous record. Yes, it really was in all caps. That's just kind of their thing. 

What can be said of the actual music is short and sweet. Neckbeard Deathcamp play a vicious, frenzied variant of war metal pissed on by harsh noise and guitar feedback. Aside from "HORSESHOE THEORY" which is a ten minute exercise in droning noise, every song here is a 3-4 minute banger or an interlude with some dumbass quote from an alt-right dude. The songs are graced with satirical takes on the alt-right for titles, such as "POZERFAUST DIVISION" or "CONSERVATIVE CRYBULLYING". That's all that really needs said. They make it clear which side of the fence they're on and people that don't like it tend to fall on the other side. The message is clear; make no apologies and have no mercy.

Enbilulugugal - PRAISE THE FUKKEN LARD (2015)

Artist: Enbilulugugal

Album: PRAISE THE FUKKEN LARD

Genre: Black Metal/Noise/Parody

Country: United States

Label: U N S I G N E D

Preview Track:

Enbilulugugal is the perfect anti-thesis for the seriousness of most black metal. In the least humorous and most try-hard of genres (I say this as a fan), we have a group dedicated to only a few things - lard, obesity, and their lord above all else, Curlyton. They can barely play their instruments, they write with the crudeness of Nunslaughter and the coherency of Captain Beefheart, they sample episodes of Futurama and corny stand-up bits, and they do it all with the cacophony and exuberance of groups like Ahulabrum and Havohej. Songs like "Bovine Sized Sloppy Jose Value Meal Track as Requested by Our Lard Curlyton" show that they've found their stride in being a particularly explosive novelty group. To call Enbilulugugal genius would be an exaggeration, but to call them mindless would rob them of their unique brand of artery-clogging wit. Enbilulugugal is a remarkably refreshing project in a sea of noisy black metal that refuses to have any fun. Because of this, these overweight clowns are exactly what a scene this deathly serious needs - a reminder that a lard-caked sense of humor never killed anybody.
