Day of Contempt - The Will To Live - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Domkraft annihilating onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Stockholm trio Domkraft bonded over a love of Spacemen 3, Monster Magnet, Sleep and Hawkwind. Drawing from the heaviest of their combined influences, they've crafted a sound that blends towering dirges, mindbending psychedelia and hypnotic minimalism, embodied on their monolithic 2016 debut The End of Electricity and 2018 follow-up Flood. Day of Doom Live presents Domkraft delivering what Metal Hammer called, Incha sustained torrent of viscous, bubbling sludge that achieves acute psychedelia through distortion and repetitionInch via a tremendous live record, just ahead of new album Seeds (coming in 2021).

Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Summoner ripping it up onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Over the course of three albums and appearances on several Redux releases, Summoner have honed a sound which draws heavily from classic 70s and early 80s metal, as well as more modern spacefaring psychedelics, with lyrical themes rooted in sci-fi and fantasy. Day of Doom Live presents the signature riffs and solos of dual guitarists AJ Peters and Joe Richner and the soaring, layered vocals of bassist/singer Chris Johnson (also bassist in death metal luminaries Deafheaven) delivered in a live setting, blasting forth thunderous, catchy songs propelled beyond the realm of light and into oblivion.

Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Horsehunter destroying onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Horsehunter's furious, multi-movement sludge separates them from a world of bands content to simply pummel, as they range from soft and sinister to unbound aggression half a dozen times in the course of a single song. The Australian band's 2015 album Caged in Flesh and self-titled 2019 follow-up present monumental, carefully-constructed epics that may as well have been created to carry fans of Sleep and Neurosis blissfully to Valhalla. Day of Doom Live presents the foursome delivering music The Obelisk simply calls, Inchbrutal as S**t,Inch in a live setting, burning down the metaphorical stage and branding those who hear it with the mark of true enlightenment.
