Goldicot Culls The Week - XII

My life begins at midnight twelve

Time flies when you’re having fun. Luckily, none of these albums are about having fun. Put a halt to the inexorable approach of future and inevitable death with three works of pure hostility. You can always bear the pain for just a moment longer, for you’ve already borne it all this time thus far. No, I’m not three weeks late with this article.

Something for nobody

Comparisons are a privilege. You should only get to make them after a high-quality assessment of the thing itself. What is it? What is it trying to do? Does it do it?

Mortal hubris of 3, never to 6

I can never decide if I should write about the stuff I like, or the stuff that’s actually interesting. Thankfully it was easy this week – everything was both. The end of February brought the quality out in full force, with one-off victor Scimitar, Seidhr, and Light Dweller, double winners for stalwart bulwark Dark Descent with Sepulchral Curse and Grave Infestation, and an insane quadruple winner for the best label out there, I, Voidhanger.
