“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 August 11th — August 17th // HAIKU EDITION
Sunday, August 11th
Sanctuary – Into The Mirror Black (1990)
Future Tense: “what will
the 90s hold?” Nu-metal,
unfortunately.
Monday, August 12th
Kowloon Walled City – Grievances [2015]
Moodier Helmet?
Is that a fair cross check here?
You get the idea.
Tuesday, August 13th
Gwar – America Must Be Destroyed (1992)
A concept album
About Oderus’ wang?
Grammy nod for film.
Wednesday, August 14th
Of The Wand And The Moon – The Lone Descent (2011)
Yeah, it’s not metal
But it sure does feel heavy
Often that’s enough
Thursday, August 15th
Incantation – Onward To Golgotha (1992)
Noxious murky tones
and blasphemy, the perfect
death/doom formula.
Friday, August 16th
Anubis Gate – Anubis Gate (2011)
Catchy prog power
These guys never disappoint
It’s gold, Jerry! Gold!
Saturday, August 17th
Znowhite – Act Of God (1988)
Often forgotten,
this thrash album does what thrash
should do: Kick your ass.

See you next week.
