Music favorites of March 2021

Let’s start with one I promised last time.

Necronomidol: Vämjelseriter

I have much more to say about this now than month ago. Couple weeks after album was released at least one member has left the band. One is not sure about leaving or staying. Third one is in hospital without certainty if she will be back. Necronomidol has lost at least two members soon after last two EPs or full length album releases. This release seem to continue the trend. Himari is only one who certainly continue. She was only one who continued last time when everyone else left. What comes to music this is their worst release since From Chaos Born. Since that EP their releases have had mostly really good songs. This has couple good ones, some of them are new versions of older songs. But there are too many fillers. Problem could be Necronomidol has become Himari and others instead of four or five equally important members. I expected more based on videos they released. Don’t know what to expect from them in future.

Lana Del Rey: Chemtrails over the Country Club

Chemtrails over the Country Club came out of the blue. We had to wait Lana Del Rey’s previous album for ages after first videos were released. I learned about this after it was released. I had not seen any videos before it. Had I seen the videos my expectations wouldn’t have been too high. I was bit hesitant to buy this because I didn’t like first video I checked but bought it because I liked her previous albums so much. I put this official audio video because this worked best first time I listened the album. Afterwards I have started to like album more. Even those songs which I didn’t like that much first time.

Carbon Based Lifeforms: ALT:01, ALT:02 and 20 Minutes

Bandcamp Friday findings. 20 Minutes was released just before Bandcamp Friday. I mean the extended version which lasts 20 minutes. ALT:01 and ALT:02 were released earlier. ALT albums contain alternative versions of previously released songs. This is my favorite song from albums.

Koldovstvo: Ни царя, ни бога

I haven’t got many black metal albums since I unsubscribed Avantgarde Music. Also I am not biggest fan of lofi black metal. Bought this because it felt it could start to work with more listening. And it did. It was last album I got from last Bandcamp Friday. It was recommended by another artist from Bandcamp. There is one black metal album waiting for next Bandcamp Friday and I probably should check what Avantgarde Music has released lately.

Crippled Black Phoenix: Champions Of Disturbance (a rough guide to CBP)

Crippled Black Phoenix has put at least couple albums out every Bandcamp Friday. This compilation was released last time. Got it even though I already had all the songs. If you don’t listen the band this is good place to start.

Chubby Wolf: The Darker Sex

I don’t remember if I have mentioned Chubby Wolf before. I have bought her music every now and then. There are quite a few album on Bandcamp but I have soon bought all of them. Recommend checking her music if you are into this kind of music.

Hilyard: Division Cycle

I think I promised this last time. Hilyard released other album On the Sorrow of Firn this year. It is so underground it didn’t have video on Youtube. This is from Cryo Chamber. Don’t know what more to say about them. I wish they had subscription. I buy everything they release anyway.

Murder By Death: Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon

I found Murder By Death when I searched similar bands to The Dead South and Devil Makes Three. This is not as country as those bands. Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon is their most popular album. Will be checking their other albums later.

Danko Jones: I Want Out

I Want Out is first single from upcoming Power Trio album. It felt like good video to end this list.
