“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 25th — August 31st // HAIKU EDITION
Sunday, August 25th
Mötley Crüe – Too Fast For Love (1982)
Punk plus metal plus
power pop, spandex, fire, and
make-up makes prime Crüe.
Monday, August 26th
Orphans Of Dusk – Revenant (2015)
Gothic doom and gloom
With a splash of melodeath
Be still mine sorrow
Tuesday, August 27th
Moonsorrow – Verisäkeet (2005)
Finnish lords stand tall
Dominance and majesty
Nothing more epic
Wednesday, August 28th
Bongripper – Hippie Killer (2007)
Slow doom, massive grooves
Aahhh, terrible bear attack!!
Eat shit you hippies
Thursday, August 29th
Queens Of The Stone Age – Rated R (2000)
Whatever you do
Don’t forget to bring a pill
Stoner alt brilliance
Friday, August 30
Yautja – Songs of Descent (2014)
Thunderous riffage
This is not pretty music
Good luck headbanging
Saturday, August 31st
Armored Saint – Symbol of Salvation (1991)
Sprawling and massive
The Saints at their most diverse
Reign of and on fire

See you next week.
