Too tired to go to Nile. Weather didn't help. Benching at home with new Destruktor.

Nile were amazing (5th time I've seen them). Thought Ashen and Carnal Viscera were very good as opening acts, too.

Not uncommon with Grand Magus - it looks like the closer will be my favourite. It’s no The Hammer Will Bite though.

New one is underwhelming imo. Think they ran out of ideas a couple of albums ago.

I'm slowly going through dozens of CDs I received while in Moscow. So far they've all been good but I'll share the more obscure stuff that I like.
First up is Talbot, a two-piece band from Estonia. They have an interesting sound that spreads different genres/influences but sticks pretty close to sludgy doom but for some reason I get grunge vibes as well.

Apparently they've toured Australia before! Had no idea but there you go. Here's a live set from 2018.

Magnetic Tartrap is the next band I'll recommend.
They were a death'n'roll sludge band formed in Moscow in 2009, recorded this album in 2013 but didn't release it until last year! From what I understand their singer passed away during that time so no idea if they're going to do write more music or not.
Their music reminds me a bit of the stoner-ish Blood Duster songs... maybe because the first track on the album is called Dead S1ut in the Drumcase. Definitely reminds a lot of Lucifungus in terms of the riffage. Superb riffage, recommended!

This is the first band in this review series that strays from doom... well, I kind of lie.
Crust was highly recommended to me, which I'm always wary of because they may not live up to expectations. Again, a band that doesn't stick strictly to a genre so hard to explain. In their own words, "We formed Crust in 2014 to create a heavy, atmospheric blend of Blackened Doom, Post-Black, Sludgecore and Dark Metal." I guess post-black metal a close description?
If that depiction aligns with your musical sensibilities then check them out. This is a cool video too.
