Unsigned and Unholy: Fox Territory, Ezerath, Malsumis

0

Degressive Fusion is the perfect name for the debut album by Fox Territory. The Czech band draws influence from all over the progressive map, but blends it all into a jazzy, fusiony (duh) mix that ends up feeling like a simplification of what we’ve come to call “progressive” in its relatively barebones approach. Hear for yourself!

Ezerath is the solo project of Jeremy Vocino-Montpetit, who has done an excellent job of crafting thick, expansive, powerful and technical black metal that doesn’t veer anywhere towards the “atmospheric” spectrum. Overture: The Heir Apparent will see a release in June, and for now there’s one track from the album posted; crank it below.

Alaska’s Malsumis take a much more raw and earthy approach than the above, with fuzz-encrusted, wall-of-sound, buzzsaw guitars up against drums that swing and a varied, nuanced vocal approach. Malsumis are the black metal band you’d want to see performing inside a dilapidated old barn in the woods… or a sweaty, cramped basement — either works!
