Weekly Recap: 5/9-5/15

I know I say this a lot, but man it's been a busy week. Sunday was my birthday, my grandma's birthday, my fiancee's mom's birthday, and Mother's Day. I was back in Lincoln over the weekend and my fiancee and I finally decided on a reception site. My beautiful fiancee got me the PS3 with God of War 3. Excellent gift.

Monday I had to go to Papillion all day to cover hearings for one of the partners and then had to work on a brief all day Tuesday for the same partner. Wednesday I had to cover pretrial motions for one of the other partners and then had my own hearings on Thursday. So yeah, busy week.

In metal news, Joey Belladonna reunited with Anthrax. Sanctuary announced they would be reuniting. The Ozzfest lineup was announced and surprisingly doesn't completely suck with performances by Skeletonwitch, Goatwhore, and Kataklysm. That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

Strange Album Covers Pt. 4: Horror Again, Only One More After This

I promise, tomorrow will be the last one of these, I just wanted to cover some of my favorite scary album covers.

DECREPIT BIRTH: DIMINISHING BETWEEN WORLDS
Decrepit Birth is a technical death metal band in the vain of Origin and Necrophagist, with perhaps better songwriting ability. This is another cover that reminds me of H.P. Lovecraft. I can't tell if that thing in the middle is supposed to be alive or not, somehow not knowing makes it even more unnerving.

NIFELHEIM: ENVOY OF LUCIFER
Nifelheim is a Swedish band very similar musically to Dissection, in that the band plays a blend of death and black metal. The band utilizes tremolo riffs and blasting drum beats similar to their mentioned countrymen. The band is also blatantly Anti-Christian as shown on the cover featuring the Reaper (not my dog, the Grim Reaper) entering the gates of Hell.

PATHS OF POSSESSION: THE END OF THE HOUR
Paths of Possession is a death metal band with an emphasis on some melodic ability. The band is much more similar musically to groups like Amon Amarth and Dismember than other Florida death metal bands. The band features Cannibal Corpse's Corpsegrinder on vocals. The album is a concept album about a soldier coming back from the war and slowly losing his sanity from the horrors he witnessed and participated in while at war. I can't even explain the artwork, but it is incredible.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER: NOCTURNAL
The Black Dahlia Murder is a band from the metalcore movement, that is perhaps unfairly labeled as such. Having heard the band, I am not convinced that they are not more of a melodic death metal band similar to At The Gates. There is not much hardcore present in their sound. The cover is reminiscent of second wave black metal bands such as Emperor and Dark Funeral. It is atmospheric and cold and a little forbidding.

PORTAL: OUTRE
I can't even explain this artwork or this band. All I know is that musically and visually, this band is strange. That's really all there is to say about this.
