Nadja - Queller
Queller is the new album by the experimental noise metal duo, Nadja.
Nadja layers an astounding combination of build, texture, and progression with this release.
Here is the bio from their Facebook page.
"Nadja is a duo of Aidan Baker & Leah Buckareff alternately based in Toronto, Canada & Berlin, Germany. Nadja originally began in 2003 as a solo project for Baker to explore the heavier/noisier side of his experimental/ambient guitar-based music. In 2005 Buckareff joined in order to make the project more than just a studio endeavour & allow Nadja to perform live.

Nadja creates music that has been variously described as
drone metal, ambient doom, and shoegazer, combining soundscapes, electronics,
& atmospheric vocals & tempering the cacophony with an ethereal
melodicism such that the listener is enveloped in a sublimating wall of
amorphous sound."

dRachEmUsiK Collaborations (onewayness & Joo Won Park)
dRachEmUsiK recently released two new albums as a part of separate collaborations with onewayness and Joo Won Park.
Immeasureable is a collaborative long-form ambient album by dRachEmUsiK (Charles Shriner) and onewayness (Adam Holquist). This album is based around the brahmavihāras or the “four immeasurables”, which is a series of Buddhist beliefs and practices. Meditative, droney, and contemplative, Immeasurable is a pleasure for the spiritual explorer.
Side Dish Side Affect is the collaborative project between Joo Won Park and Charles Shriner. This is an eclectic and experimental noise album that combines several different unusual elements. Side Dish Side Affect looks to provoke abnormal and unfamiliar emotions from the listener through improvised noise by creating abstract, organic, and textural audio environments.

Indian - From All Purity
From All Purity is the newest release from Chicago, Illinois based Noise Metal band, Indian.
Indian unleashes a scathing and hate filled delivery with the release of their fourth full length album, From All Purity. From All Purity is an intense near non-stop barrage to the senses of decaying putrid noise. Indian forgoes typical songs structure on this album in order to create a uniquely layered atmosphere of vivid darkness, a void. Pulsating walls of paralyzing sound carry on unrelenting yet satisfyingly towards this darkened rift into another dimension.

LORD MANTIS - Death Mask
Death Mask is the new album by the Chicago, Illinois based four piece Noise Metal band, LORD MANTIS.
Dark, deep, and gritty; Death Mask is a superb amalgamation of black, sludge, doom, and death among other genres of metal. LORD MANTIS drags the listener through their inner-most turmoils, grinding them abrasively into a catharsis with the cold earthen ground. Death Mask provides an interestingly progressive composition that continues turning over while adding or adjusting parts from section to section by using non-conventional or experimental song structures. LORD MANTIS has both primal and advanced technological elements present on this album, which allows for substantial depth throughout the entire work.

novemthree - Renewing
A must listen neofolk album. Haunting melodies, chilling ambiance, and mesmerizing rhythms that take you on a dreamy journey deep inside of yourself. Minimal, ritualistic, and soothing. This album will stay with you.
novemthree is a folk project from The Pacific Northwest that emphasizes a humble do it yourself attitude as well as the importance of respecting and living in harmony with the natural world that we are so effortlessly usurping. A quote from their Bandcamp page - "Crafting gently dark and dreamlike tunes of psychedelic-fringed folk music with verses inspired by a longing for a connection with Nature, the sense of solitude and peace in the vastness of the cosmos, meandering reflections on life and loss."
