Patsker
(intro by Serge)
Well, 2019 is behind us and what a year it has been. It probably was not the best year for Merchants Of Air. We faced some difficulties here, even to the point where the future of this website was in doubt but, with the support and help of our beloved readers, we managed to pull through and get on track again. Because of these issues, plus the fact that there have been so many albums in 2019, we're extremely short on end-year lists. Patsker was the only one brave enough to dig through all the releases and pick his favorites. Ready?
1. KRYPTS - Cadaver Circulation
Excellent death metal from Finland.
2. WASTED SPACE ORCHESTRA – Syntheosis
When Oranssi Pazuzu meets Dark Buddha Rising…
3. KLUDDE - In De Kwelm
This Belgian swamp devil knows how poisonous black metal should sound.
4. THE PROGERIANS - Crush The Wise Men Who Refuse To Submit
Another Belgian band with a wonderful stoner release.
5. ANANTAKARA - Transmuted By
Avant-garde melted with darker electronic tunes.
6. IMPERIAL CULT - Spasm Of Light
A one track hypersonic black metal trip from Holland.
7. R BENY - Echo’s Verse
Beautiful transcendent ambient melodies and drones from Bay Area artist Austin Cairns.
8. RAPOON - Sol Laude: Mercury Rising 3
The last of Robin Storey’s Mercury Rising triptych.
9. MATHLOVSKY – Phantoms
This unpredictable Belgian sound artist raves like hell.
10. HER FAULT – S.Y.T.
Belgian doom/sludge release of the year.
