GHASTLY – Parasites
While Finland s Ghastly risk getting swept up in the river of death metal revivalists, there s something utterly nefarious about their approach to the genre. They definitely inject more atmosphere than most into their Death Velour LP (out on 20 Buck Spin); parts of it have crept with a humid-swamp moog exercise punctuated by percussion/silence right out of an Argento score.

The genre was completely new to frontman Alastair Shuttleworth, who had been raised on a diet of “standard issue canonical indie fare” as well a “fascination” with Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. “Discovering that early post-punk music, it was an incredibly extreme and transgressive, dark, caustic musical language that felt very strange and alien,” he says on a Zoom call.

The new year brings a continuation of old miseries, but a resurgence of extraordinarily good music. Here s our guide to the best albums and tracks of a particularly strong month
I m not sure why, but in a year so far as disastrous as the last, in which musicians fortunes continue to plummet to the point that total collapse looms as a real possibility, the art they ve been releasing sounds stronger than ever.
From Sleaford Mods blistering career-best new album, to anti-colonialist duo Divide And Dissolve s unbelievably powerful cascades of crushing doom, to The Body s latest head-melting extremity, music has provided plenty of necessary catharsis.
