Terminus Episode 64 - Apparition of Sunlight, Beastlurker, Ild, 8 Hour Animal

Okay, here's the thing: recording this episode was grueling. Not because of the records but because of various technical issues which led to us wrapping up recording at 4 in the morning, which was just like hell, and not in the cool way. It gets a little weird and delirious. I'm still tired. I might be tired forever. Here's what you get:

Apparition of Sunlight is in part the sequel to Fin, one of TBMG's favorite USBM bands, and it doesn't disappoint. Their debut demo/EP/what have you is a brilliant if brief explosion of outlaw rock with a bunch of crazy guitar technique and a brilliant dual vocal performance and if you like this show you probably bought it already, but just in case you haven't, please do so now. You won't be disappointed.

Beastlurker plays melodic black/death that sounds like if Sacramentum was the soundtrack to a house party at the beginning of a teen slasher movie and it's very fun. It's self-aware, over the top, and extremely technically accomplished. Satan has the fastest motorcycle in the world and he wears extremely big sunglasses.

Ild exists to dissuade you of the notion that being a Norwegian peasant would be somehow cool or fun- it's music about being cold, tired, and concerned that you won't have enough bread to make it through winter. Like the record, our review is weird and wandering and offers more questions than it does answers. It's a bleak experience but one with a lot of depth that keeps you coming back for more.

8 Hour Animal is a weirdo mix of various industrial and noise styles and a good chunk of the review is just us figuring out how to describe it to an audience of metalheads. It's all over the map in extreme electronic music but mixes in just enough extreme metal structures and textures that it sometimes sounds like listening to Godflesh at quadruple speed in a wind tunnel, and if that doesn't sound inherently cool to you I don't know what you're even doing here.
