Slipped Disc
Lust Murder Box, s/t: On this moonless night of ominous guitars, forlorn keyboards, clattering electronics, and female vocals alternately venomous and languid, these post-Terminal 46 industrialists find the inner peace in impending doom. (CD release is Friday at Elysium.)
HeKill Three, 3.0: Nothing like a little bloodthirsty death-metal first thing in the morning. Devastatingly heavy yet surprisingly light on its feet, 3.0 tears away the thin veil separating reason and madness with the choleric tenacity of a disgruntled wolverine. (CD release Saturday at the Back Room with Pistol Grip Pump, Tea Bag, and Prime Element.)
