October's Bandcamp Friday
Bandcamp Friday was October fourth. I like to save music to my Bandcamp wishlist and then make a big selection for purchase every Bandcamp Friday. Here's what I bought this time.
Nocturnal Will is a melodic black meta album from Sweden's Dödsrit, which I stumbled on through Bandcamp Daily's The Best Metal on Bandcamp, March 2024.
Outsiders is Black Mare's return after a five year pause with a collection of rare tracks showcasing their particular brand of atmospheric darkwave.
Messa offers up this wonderful cover of Robert Johnson's timeless Hellhound on My Trail in support of ICS.
Purchased just in time for Halloween. Lost Themes IV: Noir is a collection of John Carpenter's prog-esque synth-laden music spanning decades.
Beyond the Reach of the Sun is a delicious heavy metal album from Vancouver-based ANCIIENTS. The guitar riffs are so thick here their weight is a beautiful pain.
Acts of Worship by ACTORS is a post-punk darkwave album straight out of the 80s.
Holy Blade's self-titled album is energetic hardcore punk verging on heavy metal. (I believe they recently saw some play on V/H/S Beyond?)
I felt utterly compelled to buy this Siouxsie & The Banshees tribute album before Halloween and this cover of Cities in The Dust by Night Club does not disappoint.
