Record of the DayThe album that owned the day
Voice of the Soul
Death · The Sound of Perseverance - Reissue
First Death since Jul 30.
† Liner note
Death's Voice of the Soul, the calm instrumental from The Sound of Perseverance (1998), Chuck Schuldiner's final album; a quiet doorway into a day of far uglier death metal.
15:32
15:47
...Through Withered Horizons
Cosmic Putrefaction · Crepuscular Dirge for the Blessed Ones
First Cosmic Putrefaction since Jul 06.
15:49

18:48
Into the Vaults of Ingurgitating Obscurity
Chthe'ilist · Le Dernier Crépuscule
First Chthe'ilist since Jul 06.
† Liner note
Chthe'ilist, a Canadian band whose lore and riffing channel an invented Lovecraftian tongue, a cornerstone of the modern cavernous-death revival.
19:06
Antinomian Rites
Ingurgitating Oblivion · Continuum Of Absence
First Ingurgitating Oblivion since Jul 06.
19:13
Everyone I Love Is Dead
Type O Negative · World Coming Down
First Type O Negative since Jul 28.
† Liner note
Type O Negative, Peter Steele's gothic doom act; the gallows humour of Everyone I Love Is Dead is the closest the day comes to a wink.
19:27
Children of the Grave - 2009 Remaster
Black Sabbath · Master of Reality
First Black Sabbath since Jul 28.
† Liner note
Black Sabbath's Children of the Grave, from Master of Reality (1971), effectively the source code for every doom band around it in the sequence.
19:53
Achilles Last Stand - Remaster
Led Zeppelin · Presence (Deluxe Edition)
Led Zeppelin's 3rd day in the record.
20:15
Sun of the Night
Dan Swanö · Moontower
Dan Swanö's 3rd day in the record.
† Liner note
Moontower (1998) is a near-solo album by Dan Swanö, the Swedish multi-instrumentalist behind Edge of Sanity, melodic death built almost single-handed.
