“Album Of The Day” is a Last Rites Facebook feature we started whose purpose is quite straight-forward: highlight one album per day and say a few words about it. Understanding that not everyone chooses to participate in the booking of faces, we thought it might be nice to toss in a feature that gathers the albums in a single piece on a weekly basis.
Here are the seven albums we picked for the week of June 23rd — June 29th.
Sunday, June 23rd
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
Kreator – Endless Pain (1985)
Feel the endless pain!
It really smarts, doesn’t it?
Kreator is mean
Monday, June 24th
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
Kiss – Dressed To Kill (1975)
Pretty cool for mimes?
Not really, a bunch of pricks,
but “She” still kicks ass.
Tuesday, June 25th
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
The Axis of Perdition – The Ichneumon Method (And Less Welcome Techniques) (2003)
Abject horror and
Shrill mechanistic unease
And monstrous riffs, too.
Wednesday, June 26th
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
Faith No More – Angel Dust (1992)
One of 90’s best
From weirdo alterna-kings
Still rules hard today
Thursday, June 27th
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
Cryptopsy – None So Vile (1996)
A peak of bru-tech
None So Vile? None so depraved
Splat squeal squinch slam squash
Friday, June 28th
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
Katatonia – Night is the New Day (2009)
Night is the new day?
When am I supposed to sleep?
After death, I guess
Saturday, June 29th
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
Sunn O))) & Boris – Altar (2006)
Drone’s a funny thing:
Simple sound, hard to get right.
Altar burns it down.

See you next week.
